Weekly Wrap Up (2026.03.28)

I had an amusing moment with Amazon. And it happened again earlier today. I was ordering my Omeprazole, and it says it will come tomorrow. OR, for $3 more, it will come tomorrow. I had a previous order already coming, but it seems the shipping times were not related because I made another order today and it presented the same options. As for the other orders. The dryer randomly stopped working. Its been making a funny clicking noise for a while on the selector dial, and I have replaced it previously, so I ordered a new dial, its a cheap…

Star Trek Strange New Worlds – Season 3

As I post this Season 3 follow up to my Season 1 and 2 Stranger New Worlds post, I want to take a moment to make no one noticed I forgot to do the same for Season 5 of Lower Decks. No one noticed right, thought so. Anyway, this one has been out for a bit and I only just got around to catching up. FWIW, I am actually, very slowly also working on finishing TOS. One day, maybe, I will have covered all of Star Trek. I had heard a lot of negative press about how Season 3 was…

Weekly Wrap Up (2026.03.21)

I didn't feel like I had anything to write about this week, but I kind of do, not that anyone really cares either way. Music I was killing time the other day while my daughter was at an appointment and went in the Salvation Army store nearby. I got a bit lucky I think because there was a bin on the floor that seemed to be "Things to go out" near the media. There was a lot of decent looking CDs in there, and I almost picked up more but opted for just one from the bin and one from…

Roblox – Sonic Speed Simulator

So, I mentioned at the end of my Aurora in Roblox post, I wanted to try some other, hopefully better maps. After skimming the list, I decided on this, Sonic the Hedgehog themed map. Also, I think they are called Obbys for some reason. Anyway, it looked better than a lot of the other options, and that is probably because its actually an official Sonic product, and not some clickbait nonsense like most of the other game modes seem to be. The stage opens with a 3D version of the classic Sonic Zone 1, Green Hill Zone. You run around…

Roblox – Aurora Runaway Forest

I've tried a few times to sort of, understand Roblox. It reminds me of Fortnite, which I like, and it's sort of a virtual world, which I enjoy, so it feels like I could at least be able to be into Roblox a little. I think a lot of my hangup with it has been that the avatar customization is so weird and clunky. The base body is this weird ugly blocky dude. You can get some custom bodies and parts, but there is no clear way to know what items are compatible. Plus, it all costs money to actually…
