This Year’s Garden

I meant to post when I planted but did not because, "reasons." More specifically, a lack of motivation to do so. It's not exactly anything impressive anyway, but that isn't really supposed to matter anyway. My 2024 gardening is underway, and if it's anything like the past several years, it will not be very fruitful. At our old house, we had a pretty decent garden. I built a nice tiered raised bed pyramid thing, we grew plenty of peppers and tomatoes and the plants were super large and full. We had so many tomatoes we made a ton of salsa…

Housekeeping Matters

It's been a bit since I've last posted, I admit. Today I mostly wanted to address a few housekeeping matters. I've moved the Letterboxd movie post syndication to Lameazoid.com. These posts were filtered from the home page and primarily serve the purpose of archiving what I post on Letterboxd. Frankly,. if you cared about these, I'd prefer a follow over there. They also now appear here on Lameazoid. They are still excluded from the main page. I post TV and movie content on Lameazoid, it's just a "better fit" over there. On the subject of "mostly for archival purposes". I…

Thoughts on Twitter, Musk, and Alternatives…

I have really really tried to mostly avoid discussing Twitter and Musk and everything that has happened over the past, year and a half to two years there. I do occasionally share news in the link blog posts, but even there, I mostly just avoid it. I am pretty outspoken about my dislike of Musk and Twitter on other forums but not on my own forums. Watching this death spiral is really entertaining though. And it is a death spiral. It may not actually result in the death of Twitter, god knows we won't get that lucky, but it's just…

Eclipse Adventure

In 2017, I took a trek with my parents down to Carbondale Illinois to view the total solar eclipse. While these are reasonably common occurrences, they are not super common in an area where it's easy to go see them. At this point, I've been fortunate to have two of them come nearby within a few years. We had vague plans to go back to Carbondale again for the 2024 eclipse but instead opted to go to my aunt and uncle's place in Indiana. With one big benefit being that it meant avoiding excessively pricey hotels. Last Eclipse, we stayed…

Adding a Hard Drive to My PS2

I always kind of debate on whether project posts like this should go here or on Blogging Intensifies. On one hand, it's a Video Game related post and project. On the other hand, It's also kind of an electronics and technology-based project. This one, ended up here. One of my "on the list" projects has been to upgrade some of my old consoles. Two specifically, at least initially, are the PS2, and the Wii. The Playstation 2 was always a favorite of mine, though considering how much it sold it was probably a lot of people's favorite. I played mine…
