Wrap-Up: Lets Try to Be Positive Edition

It's been a hot minute since I really posted. To be blunt, I am pretty much just endlessly frustrated lately over the state of everything. Particularly the state of politics here in the US. I mean, I knew it would be shitty. I didn't think it was going to be THIS relentlessly shitty, this quickly. Lets take a peek inside the background at some journal topics here... Or not. Lets try to, I dunno, be positive I guess. Whats been going on lately that is not awful. Learning Like last year, I started doing some leader-led training courses after work…

Weekly Wrap Up (11.17.2024 to 11.24.2024)

I started posting these, a while back but they kind of fell by the wayside. I guess some of it just got covered in regular posting, and some of it ends up on the other blog, if I bother. Probably, I decided I didn't really care. But maybe I should care. So here we are. I have actually done a few of my "wishlist todo" projects this week. I have recently been hardcore digging through my too many bookmarks problem in Firefox. This has been an ongoing effort for a few months now, but I started on a phase two…

So lately I have been a bit busy in the background helping my wife and daughter with a big project. They are opening up a vintage clothing store.

They have talked off and on about renting or buying a space and found a location a few months ago that fits their needs and budget. They have done a lot more of…

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…

Project – Record Shelf

Since I've actually taken an interest in vinyl records, One thing I really wanted to do was build a simple little record shelf. This would serve two purposes basically. One, it looks cool. Two, it gives me another way to decorate the basement a bit. The concrete block walls are a pain to work with, especially the outside wall where all my music stuff is. The temperature changes mean nothing sticks to it long term. In other areas I've hung frames from the rafters using small chains. For this space, I've got a nice shelf I can use and swap…
