A far flung Internet acquaintance of mine committed suicide last month. He was a member of one of the training groups to which I belong, and while I never met him personally he was well known and liked by the community. To paraphrase something I read : when someone dies, the burdens they carried do [...]
Happy birthday to our Lady Moose, my youngest dog Pearl. She turns six years old today. I can’t believe it. Pearl, like the other dogs, has had a great year. The biggest improvement to her quality of life has been the raw food diet. I owe this 100% to Sedagive?, who did all of the [...]
I’m writing this post mostly for when it happens again (when you’re dealing with these kinds of weird Windows errors, they’re bound to happen again). However, if it helps someone out, more the better. About three days ago I purchased a Seagate 1TB SSD / platter hybrid hard drive. I bought it to speed up [...]
In May of 2010 I started playing the StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty beta. I kept playing right up until launch day July 7, 2010. Since then, I’ve finished the single player campaign and played thousands of games of StarCraft 2. StarCraft 2 was more to me than a game, it was a way to [...]
This year I wrote 55 reviews on Gibberish. That’s about average, some years I’ve written in the high 60s and some years in the low 40s. I hit a few dry spells throughout the year as I moved, or bought less stuff due to budgetary concerns. I also spent a lot of time (and money) [...]
We’ve owned our STX Dehydra 600 food dehydrator for just over two months now. My model came with a plastic window that could be used for taller objects, like glass mason canning jars. I had read about people making yogurt in their dehydrators, and I was interested to see what it would be like compared [...]
The test period is over, thanks to everyone who participated! I wrote about the benefits of shaving oil last October. I really like using shaving oil. It helps my skin stay more supple and moisturized during the shaving process. This helps me avoid nicks and cuts during my shave, and helps keep my skin soft [...]
At this stage of my life, everyone I know has either directly lost someone to cancer, or knows someone who has. Everyone. Every. Last. One of us. Every November there is a large event to raise awareness (and research money) for prostate cancer. Called “Movember,” participants are encouraged to not shave for a month. For [...]
About a month ago I announced an upcoming interview with illustrator Robert Dickson. My interview with Robert is the first in a new series called “Gibberish Asks,” and I hope to do more of them in the future. Robert likes to draw animal mash-ups, and we thought it would be fun to run a contest [...]
“Grass roots” is an over-used term that means enthusiasm, support, or ideas come from common folks, from the “ground up.” The phrase gained popularity in an age where most felt that big business, big government, or big brother were dominating the mindscape of the populace. Over time, anything grass roots was trusted more than official [...]
