Spring is almost here. The weather feels nice, in the mid-60s right now. I can’t wait to start some projects around my tiny house!!!

Took this photo in March 2023.

Wait—The U.S. and Iran Were Once Allies?: tobygeeksout.micro.blog/2026/03/14/waitthe-us-an...

I have finished half-way. Now taking a break… Next: step 6! It has been fun doing this.

The fun has begun…opening to the first bag right now.

After lunch I’m opening this LEGO set and taking a little trip back to the 80s.

Building LEGO as an adult is oddly satisfying—the slow rhythm of snapping pieces together and watching it take shape.

Gizmo from Gremlins. Just have to remember… don’t feed them after midnight.

I’m currently watching the Scarpetta TV series on Amazon Prime. So far, it hasn’t been bad. I’m at the 5th episode now. Well, I still need to get started on the first Scarpetta book to get to know Kay Scarpetta better.

It’s incredibly heartbreaking to see this today. True peace will never be reached, and the situation will only get worse (and, yes, it is a satire photo, with aliens in this picture).

I recently set up my MacBook Air. I had forgotten how lightweight it is—it feels fantastic. Now I can browse the internet and get my work done away from my desk, where I usually work on my Mac mini.

Can’t wait for my 15" MacBook Air, expected by 5 pm. Rural delivery means it might slip to tomorrow, but I’m hopeful. Once it arrives, I’m finally free from my desk — kitchen, living room, outside, anywhere I want.

War Machine 2026

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man

Netflix’s March lineup is stacked. Two on my radar: War Machine and Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man. Stay tuned for my reviews.

Can we talk about these Italian mountain huts? Val d’Aosta has nearly ten of them — including Rifugio Capanna Regina Margherita, that opened in 1893. One is perched 9,300 feet above the Frebouze Glacier, shaped like an airplane fuselage with porthole windows. I would love to...read more below.

Drove through the scenic New U.S. 460 / Corridor Q to Pikeville for a doctor’s appointment, spotting sarvis trees popping up here and there on the winter-brown mountains — little bursts of white. March, and spring is nearly here. (AI-generated photos — but pretty close to what I saw!)

The Bluff When her tranquil life on a remote island is shattered by the return of her vengeful former captain, a skilled ex-pirate must confront her bloody past and unleash her deadly talents to save her family from a ruthless siege.

Currently Watching: The Bluff. I hope it is good.

I just finished watching the Melania documentary to see what the fuss was about for this $40 million project.

My verdict: it's a total waste of time. It’s dull and boring, with absolutely nothing worthy about it. Critic... tobygeeksout.micro.blog/2026/03/10/i-just-finish...

So, is AI a mental health miracle or a total minefield? Honestly, it’s both.

Finished watching Jekyll and Hyde S1. I wish they would do seasons 2. 😕 I enjoyed the TV show. Hopefully, Netflix would pick it up and resume S2?

This example clearly shows AI at its sloppiest…

"A process that looks realistic combined with vague insinuations of corporate misconduct and no verifiable claims equals maximum engagement with minimal responsibility."
