Weekly Wrap Up (2026.05.02)

Weekly Wrap Up (2026.05.02)

Weee, what a pain of a week, literally. On Monday it rained, not long, but very heavy. We have had small water events in the basement, but it mostly just runs to the floor drain in the less finished half and maybe I have to throw down some towels on the more finished half. This round, the floor drain wasn't working. Plus the heavy rain. We had a major backup, thankfully mostly affecting the less finished half. I actually can't believe if filled so fast given how small the usual water trickles tend to be. I had checked it when…

#Mayllennial – Digital Pets

Day two of this month long writing challenge, how long shall I last?! Actually, this one could maybe be short. Because its "Digital Pets.". I was never really into Digital Pets, I guess? I had a Digimon Digivice, but I don't think I ever had a real Tamagotchi. On the other hand, I was into Pokemon. Like, a lot. In yesterday's "90s websites" post, I mentioned The Chaos Xone. My other website baby at the time was The Geocities Sailor Moon Fanpage Center. I mean, The Geocities Pokemon Center. Like, I liked Pokemon enough that I created my second website…

#Mayllennial – 90’s Websites

Today's topic, 90s Websites. I can, definitely attest to this one, I spent a lot of the 90s online. Hell, I have spent a lot of my life online. But I also ran some 90s websites. Back before wordpress and social media and micro-posting. There was not even a place to share. We didn't even really have RSS to keep up on things. I feel like I have mentioned it before, but this site started out as a 90s site on Geocities called The Chaos Xone. Because in the 90s, X was Xool like that. It's a versatile letter, it…

#Mayllennial

Get ready for a month of daily posts! Seriously, I have already written all most some of them. I came across this random Bluesky Skeet that was reposted by someone I follow. All of the topics seemed pretty doable and maybe interesting. Also, depending on how you slice it, I am technically on the bleeding front edge of Millennial. I certainly sympathize a lot more with Millennials I think, though I also don't really subscribe to the while Boomer Gen X Gen Y, Gen Z nonsense. I was also at the moment in a very weird funk of really kind…
Transformers x NFL – Tundra Prime and Steelsmash

Transformers x NFL – Tundra Prime and Steelsmash

Early this year, Hasbro started a collab line with the NFL. A line of football helmets that transform into football player styled robots. That's "American Football", in case the MFL part didn't make that obvious, though they also recently announced a similar line for Non-American Football (soccer), that turns into a football. Wait, do they call soccer balls footballs or is it something goofy like the kicky roundy? (Side note, when I first did this up, I only had Tundra Prime, so if there is weirdness about Steelsmash comments, that is why) Anyway, the initial line up had four teams,…
