More Weather Dickdom
We’ll start by showing some cool snow pictures. Images courtesy Colorado Department of Transportation. They were live at the time I posted this. I also want to give them, and highway departments everywhere a shout-out, for keeping traffic somehow moving in the face of stuff like this. Don’t be a dick to the plow people.…

Geeky Computer Stuff
Do any of you program, like, actually get down and dirty with the code? If so, much respect. I do as well. And after a while, the epiphany hits me square in the face: Learning programming, helps you learn life in general. This will be a bit of a read, but trust me, at the…

The Friday News
I know it’s Saturday, or for some, Sunday. Just go with it. This is something my father used to do back in the day. 2001, to be exact. I think these were typed out about 8 feet from where I sit now, on a computer that now sits upstairs, mostly full of cat hair. A…

Extreme Couponing
Who doesn’t like to save a buck? Except for the buck that ran headfirst into the side of my car last winter, I’ll save all the bucks I can. But there’s limits. Yesterday, I took my mom to the store, since she needed “a few things”. So, we’re already boned at this point. I don’t…

Snow, part deux
Everywhere but here, as usual. Photos are from CDOT highway cameras from around the state. The furthest one of these from me is about 100 miles from me. Curious? Peek for yourself here. I guess I’m a little weather obsessed, and it’s ok to talk about that, isn’t it? And weather has some interesting connections…

Taking the plunge
Well, Sunday was my last night driving pizza. It marks a number of milestones for me. It’s the first time I’ve left a job and not burned the bridge behind me. Certainly we’ve all done irresponsible stuff, and that’s always been my thing. I put in proper notice, worked every last hour, and left with…

More Stuff
I’ve been lax. Really lax. The only thing I’ve accomplished this week is finalizing the home office/ [not sure what to call it] room. If you’ve been following along, I’ve been slowly consolidating all my sister and niece’s stuff, and taking back the room behind the garage. There is a LOT of stuff. But I’ve…

Progress
I’m getting there with the new home office. Yesterday, Amazon surprised me with my order getting here a day early, so I hooked up the wireless HDMI boxes. DirecTV wanted more money to put an additional receiver in here, as well as the associated wiring. So, I blew $160 on Amazon for these: The idea…

Been a minute
Sometimes life intervenes, doesn’t it? I’ve been a busy beaver. So, for the first time in my life, I attended a business meeting, relating to my at-home job. I was nervous, quite nervous as this was way out of my wheelhouse, like, Antarctica. I’m developing software for a company, and that day I met the…

Chambers Lake
I love this place. It’s a largely artificial lake at about 9000 feet elevation. Even in the summer, it’s nice and cool up here. It’s crystal clear, cold water. But then 2020 came, and like everything else that year that sucked, this fire happened. As it were, I had a trip scheduled to Steamboat Springs,…
The Night Driver
Rants, vents, funny stuff, and just life, from a guy who drives at night.
