When I was in college in 1997, I had a couple classmates who had no idea how to use a ruler for anything other than a straight edge and needed to use two hands to double click a mouse.
I sometimes wonder where they are today.

I’m old enough to remember the dark days of the Biden administration, when planes landed safely and unemployment was at an all time low.

Trump blames Ukraine for starting the war the way a rapist blames his victim for looking too sexy.

Patriotism is the optimistic belief that your country could be the best. Nationalism is the ignorant belief that it already is.

I'm trying to decide whether the reason I'm contemplating applying for this other position is because it sounds like a nice change and pays more or because I really, really don't want to help train somebody and I know eventually I'll have to do it again.
Maybe both?

Come to Retro Junkie in Walnut Creek this Friday and see Kimzey's Pink tribute band Raise Your Glass play live.

And for those of you who keep asking me when I'm going to be back on stage locally, I've been invited to join them for one song. :)

Two black QBs are facing off against each other today.

They have the 1st and 3rd best records in football, the 3rd and 6th raw QB ratings, the 3rd and 5th expected yards on passes, and the 3rd and 6th expected yards on runs.

Or as republicans call it, DEI.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.

I know. I was there in those camps.

I love after holiday sales.
Picked up a couple new additions to my tiny arcade.
Special Agent Dale Cooper Funko Pop shown with the entire arcade for scale. I modded that Galaga a few years back. There's a dial on the back that allows switching between 4 different games.
