Winter Wonderland
It snowed all night and in fact is still snowing right now, which made the drive into work fairly interesting. Not that the Murano has any issue in the snow,…

Right on schedule
It’s pretty typical here in Colorado that the first real snow happens right about halloween — this year is no different. I’m a big fan of winter, so to celebrate…

MacBookPro 16,1 Reload…
Today was spent reloading OS X 10.15.7 on my 2019 16″ MacBook Pro. Not as big as the 2004 17″ Powerbook G4 I had years ago, but it’s much, much…

Notes from the Edge
Just a couple of photos I thought were interesting. The first is something of an alert: I stopped in at the local Carl’s Jr. for breakfast (they make amazing breakfast…

rihahn.com
My first “personal” website went online in January of 1996, and was hosted by dimensional.com here in Denver. It was really just a tech demo and advertisement for my web…

The hub of the grub
For being so bleeding-edge technologically, I’m a bit of a Cro-Magnon when it comes to trendy high-tech gig-economy services. And accordingly today was my first use of “GrubHub” which has…

Movies
It was May in 1980 when the sequel to Star Wars was released; The Empire Strikes Back. I remember standing in line for the theater there in Longmont with my…

Supplies
Some of those supplies I mentioned a few entries back came in today… The first was the two one-week boxes of rations. As long as I have water, I have…

The sounds of silence…
I’ve had tinnitus most of my life. It all started with a trip to a HamFest with my parents. A HamFest is essentially an organized garage sale for radio nerds,…

It’s a mad mad mad mad world…
Given the sliding scale of crazy out there as the year winds to a close, this week I ordered another 60 rounds of 45-70 and two 7-day ration kits that…

Changing of the seasons…
It’s the end of September, which means the first real snow here in Colorado should be less than 30 days away. While it’s already snowed here for a couple of…

The more things change…
I’ve been working at the same place for over sixteen years now; you can even read about the day I got hired, and it’s been quite an adventure since then.…

Data Loss
Sadly, even given the precautions I take, it appears I’ve lost all of my photos between August 28th 2004 and August 9th, 2012. It’s more than likely a combination of…

Smokey
With large sections of the west coast being on fire and the jet stream moving west to east, and Colorado having a few of the yearly blazes as well, it’s…

PowerMac 8,1 (The things I do to recover old email…)
For my mono-no aware project I’ve been sifting though terabytes of archived data, searching for times and dates to try and build a timeline of the past. Part of this…

Went to a show…
Saw “Tenet”. It was very SciFi Channel, but after not seeing a movie since “Rise of Skywalker” nine months ago, I won’t complain. And the popcorn was really good. Scott…

Waaaay back…
I was just looking through some old emails and found the email trail I sent back and forth to someone here on LJ in order to get a code to…

Less Vespa
Today I sold the Vespa that I purchased back in March. It was a fun little experiment; I more or less purchased the thing to see if being on two…

Winter approaches…
One of the more unique qualities of Colorado is how quickly it changes from “summer” to “winter”. Fall or Autumn here lasts about a week if we’re lucky. It’s really…

Marshal the Wonder Cat is gone…
I picked up Marshal on March 10th, 2007 from the PetsMart in north Aurora. They said he was 3 years old then. Today Erin, who has looked after him since…
