  • That’s a really good heads up. I hadn’t thought about it much from that angle - that I might already be doing damage that’s hard to reverse.

    I got my blood pressure machine from the basement and the first reading was systolic 141 diastolic 78. But I had just climbed stairs from the basement. I sat for a couple minutes and now it’s 115 over 75. Less anxiety inducing. Definitely something I should be tracking frequently and not have tucked away in the basement though.


  • I remember being thrilled to move from floppies to a 16mb flash drive for my school assignments, even if I did have to constantly download and reinstall the USB Mass Storage drivers for the Windows 1998 sp2 computers in the library which reset every night. And the transfer speed was SLOW.

    The fact that you can get a terabyte flash drive now, which can hold 62,500 of my school assignment drives, is mind blowing to me.





  • “That line’s not supposed to ring. Who is it?”

    “Sir, it sounds like… you know that movie from the 2010s, the one with the cave people?”

    “Ice Age?”

    “No. No, not that one. It’s got Nick Cage in it.”

    Grug: “He actually goes by Nicolas.”

    “What?”

    “What?”

    Grug: “You can say Nick, it’s fine. You’ve gotta get us out of here!”




  • Yes, it’s me, I’m the buyer. At any expense, I must possess all the apes. I’m here from the future, to spread the word that if we allow the genral public to have ownership over this level of stupidity, it will result in a runaway moron effect. And if left unchecked, then in my time, four hundred years from now, when we make first contact with other spacefaring civilizations, they’re going to think we’re really lame.








  • When I was a young teen and getting into creative writing, I was trying to come up with new fantasy novel ideas. I asked my dad if he wrote a fantasy book what it would be about, and he described a pleasant tropical island vacation with well appointed accommodations and complimentary frozen drinks. Which, to be fair, I don’t see a lot of in speculative fiction.
