RIP Wild World/Adventure World/Six Flags America.

Thank you for letting scared kid from Bowie run the busiest food stand in the park, and let me exposed to the craziness of Sunday afternoon crowds in the DMV.

Went to chipotle for lunch, and I guess a high school was stopping by for lunch.

Why were all the guys dressed like kids when I was in high school? Like true kids from the Eastern Shore of Maryland, with Ducks Unlimited and other hunting t-shirts.

At least they weren’t Big Johnson shirts.

Hockey, Hockey never changes.

And I hope the sweaters look like vault jump suits, and I would unironically get one that says 76.

Ok, can we just talk about how good the Victory+ app is?

#TexasHockey and #FlyTogether Recaps, live games, Texas high school football, and just other random content.

It’s a nice change from the ESPN app.

Marcomm Companies: With our AI-generated ads, we can target any geographic location with custom content that is virtually indistinguishable from real content. The locals won't know the difference.

Maryland: a'ight, bet.

I admin a lab, where the previous owner gave everyone domain admin rights, and then left.

Now I spend hours a day undoing the stupid things people have done.

I love this little machine. I used it on an impromptu bus trip from Baltimore to San Francisco, a three day ride, with only Zoop and Sonic to play.

I spent more on batteries than I did on food for that trip.

I love getting alerts in my client Windows 10 VMs about upgrading to Windows 11. I always click on the “yes upgrade” and then a message comes back saying my machine is not supported for upgrade.

Yeah you doorknob of an alert, I know that, and that (and a lot of reasons) is why I won’t upgrade.
