It is 2:11 PM on 2.11.19. The morning was hectic with three calls in a row but things have slowed a bit so I thought I’d try to get a journal entry in. These past two weeks have been tough with back to back colds mostly brought on by stress. Last week my boss’s boss…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 2.11.2019

Dragon’s Lair
I was watching Stranger Things and they had a quick cut to this old game from 1983. This is why that show appeals to people my age (41), it reminds them of their youth. I had forgotten all about Dragon’s Lair but was immediately transported back to the old arcade at putt-putt golf and games…… Continue reading Dragon’s Lair
Lapham’s Quarterly – Water
It has taken forever and a day to get through this issue of Lapham’s Quarterly. This is not because it was a bad issue but rather these factors: WorkKidsKarateNintendo Reading has just taken a back seat as all the great times for reading are usually taken by requests to play for the kids.

Shoes of the 90s
I had a lunch appointment at BJs Bar and Grill at Tanforan the other day. I had originally planned on going early to get a massage beforehand but they were busy so I had an extra 30 minutes to kill.

Christmas Day 2018
It is Christmas Day 2018 at 6:25 AM. Usually I like to write a Christmas Eve post to reflect on Christmases past and the magic that comes only on that night but I have caught a cold and wasn’t feeling too well. I just ran myself too ragged: we took a trip to Lake Tahoe…… Continue reading Christmas Day 2018
The Saga of the Netgear Powerline Adapters
I like computers, technology, the internet, databases, gaming and so and and so on, I always have. I had always told myself that once I had my own home I’d want my own server and it happened in 2010. So while I was playing with my server (Synology) I learned about Surveillance Station which could…… Continue reading The Saga of the Netgear Powerline Adapters
