Track my boys as they drive across the country.

My dog, Kepler, toured the Grand Canyon today.

Me in 2026 so far

Back on the east coast and working with a beautiful winter view.

Going through some old Crusader Kings 3 notes I left years ago. This game is wild.

'Already married twice, both husbands died in battle. Three children. Very stressed, irritable and flagellant. Dynastic kinslayer. Loves to duel. Children probably illegitimate.'

Yesterday: Life is great, walking like a pro!
Today: Texting my partner like, 'Hello, please come retrieve your wobbly partner from the coffee shop before she meets pavement'

MS randomly shows up in my CNS and starts wrecking the place. Doesn't clean up its mess. I can't help but laugh about it.

Learning to Create Real Things as a 3D Modeler for Games Late last year, I had the opportunity to build on my 3D modeling skills I used for game development to create real objects that solve real-world problems.

So anyway, the games industry is crumbling, I'm trying to figure out what skills are transferable to other careers, and I recently learned how I could use my modeling skills for making Real Things that Solve Real Problems.

Taking the train from Los Angeles to San Jose. We get a roomette, relax, and enjoy the views.

It’s finally cold enough in SoCal where I can invoke my superpower and knit stuff to keep myself warm.

The latest Midnight Sumo intro brings me joy because:

1. Random Commander Riker cameo
2. My perfect pink price Ura engaging in fisticuffs

I will miss you Pasadena, CA.

It's three days until Valentine's Day which is a good enough reason to post clips from the most Garashir episode of Deep Space Nine

I'm recovering from this flare a bit every day which is the most I could ask for. I didn't know I could sleep so hard and for so long.

Hopefully I'll be well enough to be useful for our move to Philadelphia. Looking forward to starting a new chapter.

It's been a wild few weeks...

What he didn't tell me was that he planned on proposing between the observatory and the Astronomer's Monument.

It was a perfect day at one of our favorite places. I said yes.

When I was discharged my gait was unsteady. My partner had to spoil a birthday surprise that he hired a photographer to take family photos of us at the Griffith Observatory. I would have said no to the trip otherwise.

It's been a wild few weeks...

I woke up one morning and most of my left side felt like it fell asleep and wouldn't recover from the pins and needles feeling. I had to spend a week in the hospital. Ultimately the doctors told me, 'Happy Birthday, you have Multiple Sclerosis.'

Thank you for your posts about Starfleet Academy - they are fun to read.

in light of today's "The Big Game", it is my pleasure to report that avgn's football rant is highly compatible with laura palmer's theme

You think Starfleet Academy is woke because it has lesbians. I think Starfleet Academy is woke because they just did an episode about recognizing the colonialist attitudes underlying their white savior complex and pivoting to center the experience of a marginalized group instead. We are not the same

I was already pretty sure I saw the end of my 12+ year career in games come to an end, but now it feels certain.

Adding getting a lumbar puncture to my list of life experiences.

Gonna watch Spinal Tap when I get home.

Man with giant tuna at opening day of fish market makes me happy too.

One of the few things bringing me joy during my hospital stay is the delighted look on this kid’s face as he greets and accepts gifts from Hoshoryu.

I want speed music compositions based on the sounds of MRI.

I can now add getting a two hour MRI at 2am to my list of life experiences.

Just when you thought the MRI couldn’t sound more obnoxious, the MRI tells you to hold its beer.

I've been running Linux while at work and really happy that I haven't run into any issues so far. When it just works, it's great and not nearly as distracting as Windows.

It only took months of my partner constantly talking about Linux for me to give it a shot, but I'm pretty sold.

This is the second verse to Utada Hikaru's version of Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence by Ryuichi Sakamoto.

1. Does Captain Picard chill and floss? Is this when he's showing off his archaeology collection? Please, I need to know more.
2. Earl Grey Hot could absolutely work here.

Workday derailed.

I was punching the air watching this. Ura is a perfect pink prince and will always be a winner in my heart.

...even though he ended up losing this one.

I'm not sure why Riker appears in the latest Midnight Sumo intro, but I'm here for it

This feels weird to type but...

I'm a homeowner. We just closed on a cute condo in the Fairmount/Francisville area of Philadelphia. Expect to make the move this spring.
