Micro Rants

This week I’ve been running around getting stuff done and fixing issues of my own making. So, I have a thing for toy cameras and using filters on videos (check out my old Q&A series) that look old. I picked up a kids video camera, that claimed to shoot 1080p, it kinda did, but I … Read more

I realized that my long epic walks on weekends while amazing aren’t really balanced. I very much enjoy them, but it doesn’t allow for much in my day other than the walk, especially in the winter, since I’m timing that walk for the warmest part of the day Noon to about 2pm.

I also hate not … Read more

I was to emphasize that everyone is fine now, so no worries please. Yesterday my partner texted me to tell me she didn’t feel well. After another hour she asked me to come home and pick up some stuff to help her. I left work, picked up the stuff and came home. We waited to … Read more
