Vote By Mail Should Be Standard

Something I feel like I take for granted a bit is just how good my state handles everything election wise. And it's politics in general, for the most part. I mean, like everywhere it's full of nuts in the rural areas, but overall, it's traditionally just been a "safe" state. One thing that I love that is newer is vote by mail. This started back in 2020 because of COVID of course. I mean, maybe it was an option before, but it was made extremely easy in the 2020 election. Previously, like many others, I would go down to my…

Sky: CotL – Season of Moomin

It's time for a new season in Sky: Children of the Light.  This is another tie in season like the Season of the Little Prince and Season of Aurora.  This time around the world of Moomin and Moominvalley with the Season of Moomin. So, in case you are like me, and in the US and (probably) a bit confused as to what a Moomin is, I figure a bit of a brief description is probably in order.  I've only barely heard of this property at all, and only recently a few months ago when I saw an add for some…

What I’ve Been Playing – Mobile Edition

One day I will get some sort of actual cadence going on these. I promise 🤞. Anyway, For whatever reason, I kind of dipped in and out of a few mobile card games recently. I came to a universal conclusion, I really don't care for mobile card games. Pokemon TCG Live I don't know what the actual name for this is, I think it's rebranded a few times too. I came across some codes for this game that were unredeemed so I loaded it up. After playing the tutorial and playing a few rounds and trying to spiffy up my…

Star Trek TOS – Season 1 – Part 1 – E01-13

So, this one feels slightly tricky. I have been making notes about episodes as I watch them, but also I have been writing up some on a private forum and having some back-and-forth there. Actually, maybe this will make it much easier. Anyway, since Discovery is over, and I am caught up on Strange New Worlds and Lower Decks, I decided to move on to Star Trek, The Original Series (TOS). I really want to rewatch the TNG era stuff, but I am kind of trying to knock out all of the "older era" stuff first. Also, as it turns…

Keyboard Jiggler with Python and Raspberry Pi

So I did a pretty simple but amusing little project recently, a bit on a whim. Let's say, I have a few games that it would be useful to just, let idle for experience or whatever. The problem is, that these games also have built-in idle deterrence. Your character falls asleep, or you just time out of the game after five or ten minutes. I initially start off trying to use AutoHotkey, a program that basically does what I wanted here, you program it to press keys at certain intervals, basically just a simple keep-alive movement every couple of minutes.…
