Weekly Wrap Up (2026.07.18)

It looks like my work trips to St Louis are going to continue for the foreseeable future, so I guess I'll need to work out some sort of fun routine there. Maybe see if there are any good music or collectible shops int he area down there for when I am down that way. Otherwise it's been a pretty standard issue week. Nothing much special happening, just the usual nonsense. Music Last Sunday was another MCCD Free concert. This one was Broken Brogue, an Irish group doing Irish music. Well, probably Irish. The lead guy said he was Irish and…

Blaugust 2026 is Coming

I wasn't really planning to do Blaugust this year, what with barely making a post a week these days, but I think maybe in honor of it's creator Belghast, I will at least throw my hat in the ring. I am making no real commitment to any number of posts mind you. Though I did, maybe 31 days for the previous two years I participated. Once on [Blogging Intensifies] and once on Lameazoid. Because BI is gone though all those posts are here on this blog now. There is a whole mess of information and a sign up form over…

Fortnite Droid Tycoon – C-3PO Event

Another weekend, another special Droid Event. The people pushing these are learning a bit I think because they ran the last event for R2-D2 for two weekends. This event for C-3PO is running for 24 hours straight. The main complaint with these events has been the times. They last one weekend (well, maybe two now), and sometimes its random 2 hour blocks, or random 4 hour blocks, basically, you have to be available during a limited time. Which isn't always an option if you work or have kids or whatever. One other annoyance here, they can't rerun old events. The…

Weekly Wrap Up (2026.07.11)

Maybe one day I will do real blog posts again. I mean, technically this is probably closer to "real blogging" than silly reviews or whatever. I actually have been feeling… more into the idea again lately, I guess. Technically the Fourth of July happened after last post, I went down to the bridge and watched the city fireworks as we often do. No fun travel food this week. I just got QDOBA and another, different Crazy Bowl dish. I did look up and found a ramen place near the office down there, but I've been working an hour earlier than…

Weekly Wrap Up (2026.07.04)

Happy 4th of July… I guess. It's the big "250th Anniversary" but it really doesn't feel like anything here is worth celebrating. I don't have plans. I might go watch fireworks later on the bridge around the corner. It's never crowded and it's got a nice view over the lake. I tried going tot he Zoo and Children's Museum area last year but it was more crowded and the view was not great because of trees and light posts and people. I want to throw out a bit of a send off. Almost two years ago exactly, I bought this…

Weekly Wrap Up (2026.06.27)

It's been an eventful few weeks. Mostly because of new work activities traveling some. Funny story, without too much detail. A coworker retired, so I am covering a second location. I met with my coworker before he left, for a refresher on where things were at the site. I got there a week later, without him, and had the dumbest problem. I could not figure out how to turn on the lights. In my normal location, everything is motion activated, at this location it's not. And when I met with him, the lights were on, so I didn't even think…

Weekly Wrap Up (2026.06.13)

Oh look, slacka lackin again. It's not even been that boring, just kind of uneventful. I've also had this vague annoaynce at the idea of AI slurping up all my dumb blog posts and using that data to make more dumb blog posts for others. Maybe I should stop trying to fix my typos to screw with it. Oh geeze, it's been 3 weeks, I thought it was just two. I've got a new temporary work thing going on which should liven things up on the work front. Basically, i get to cover another office once every week or two,…
