I really need to get around to drawing a new profile thumbnail. Red hats really went out of style hard back in 2016.

I keep hoping they're going to come around again so I don't have to redraw it. I hate drawing.

You don't even have to put ice in there. Nobody checks that.

Does anyone know where I can read about the history of the Apple II version of Mario Brothers?

I just read something that hinted that it was never officially released, only leaked to pirates. (I know *I* only had the pirate version.)

But that seems insane. The Apple II port was great.

Why would they not release a finished Mario game on a popular platform?

Wikipedia says that this is called a "Spoon Worm".

If your spoons look like this, you need to invest in new silverware.

Fun fact : Vincent Price, Charlton Heston, and Will Smith have all played the same character.

Dr. Robert Neville, the protagonist from "I Am Legend".

I've been trying to think of a less likely trio of actors to have played the same role, and I can't think of one.

I look down on people who complain about "too many browser tabs" the same way I look down on people who complain about "too many books".

Today I learned that there's a species of dinosaurs called The "Irritator"

See? This is where Zombies come from.

I expect about six months before zombie pigs break out of a lab and start turning people into zombies.

There's something pleasing about illegally streaming cyberpunk that's been ripped from audio tape.

This audiobook is certainly not legal, but if you've not read this book before, it's a good listen.

" Mirrorshades - The Cyberpunk Anthology " (1986)

A tie?

Now I'll never know.

I think maybe Amazon would be better off without the "Customer questions & answers".

The ratio of actual answers to "I don't know, it was a gift." is approaching the point of uselessness.

I'll bet an artistic person could design an avatar that only looks right when you're re-tooting yourself.

If your company manufactures USB cables that are power-only and don't have conductors for the data pins, then I hate you, and I hope your whole factory falls into a volcano.

(If you incorrectly mark such cables with the USB trident, then I hope you're still in the factory on volcano day.)
