Yesterday I moved my old computer desk into the garage. To do that, I had to pull everything out of the storage area. Since I had to do that, I went through everything, throwing away whatever I knew I would never use. It took me a good four hours, but… Continue reading
A month or two ago, I bought a double 29-gallon stand with tanks, and I have been waiting for the opportunity to move things around so I can set up the tanks. The community college where I teach has spring break this week, so this is my chance. I have… Continue reading
With me starting to spend more time behind the keyboard, I am making some changes to the home office. The computer desk takes up way too much space, mostly horizontal. A second computer desk in the family room is being used to store computers that don’t do anything. Part of… Continue reading
As I said in the last post, Mary Robinette Kowal has a way of picking up or creating some pretty cool memes. So here is another one influenced by her. First line of the first blog post of each month. It’s an interesting reflection to see what was on my… Continue reading

I haven’t forgotten the eBook series I have been posting. In fact, I have two more. Unfortunately, the final two entries do require some research I haven’t had time to complete. Once this, that, and the other thing are wrapped up, I should be able to post those early next… Continue reading
Labor Day always reminds me of a time nearly two decades ago when I worked for a small company that manufactured ferrites–think the shield beads on your laptop’s power cord. It was a privately-owned company and I worked there for about 9 months. On the Tuesday after Labor Day, I… Continue reading
Sorry for the long delay between posts. Yesterday, I returned from a week at Camp Geronimo with my son’s boy scout troop. I’m still a bit sore and fatigued. We had a LOT of rain, with a good 30-45 minute hail storm. Mud, mud, mud, but everyone managed to finish… Continue reading
