Registered for Jury Duty. Got a long line of Works in Progress...setting them up and knocking them down now that I have the time.

Now that the Sidekick 3 is up and running (Although not able to connect to the phone system) at least I can get the sound effects off it, which is something I've wanted for ages.

This Week's Meals (3/3): Broccoli "Noodle" Soup

And with that, I'm done with this cookbook. The ingredients are expensive, it asks for expensive gadgets and is obviously aimed at someone WAY more affluent than me.

No recipe right now cause I'm angry at the cookbook.

This Week's Meals (2/3): Breakfast Burritos

Uses turkey breast slices for the tortilla to keep it keto friendly. No recipe right now cause I'm angry at the cookbook.

I kinda figured there was no need to encode this tape, but I did it just to make sure there was nothing on it I needed. It turns out it's a tape full of Ranma 1/2, subtitled.

I need to watch this again. I miss these folks.

How it started, how it ended:

So I ran a number of tests to see what devices would play surround sound on the new system (looks like only hte PS5 and PC). While I was testing the PC, trying to get mpv.net to push Surround Sound, I played the Borg battle in TNG.

I forgot how much I loved this specific shot. Nothing earth shattering or effects heavy, but really gives the feeling that the Enterprise and the Shuttle are Real Objects in a Real Universe.

I don't often go into town, but had to today. Whenever I go into town, I try something that I can't get easily out here.

Katsu Burger DID NOT DISAPPOINT.

Now if you'll excuse me. I'm going to eat the half of the order I couldn't finish there....

I find it ironic that one of the last purchases I made before I was laid off may be one I will likely enjoy regretting.

Not so sure I'd choose this name for my shop.

Had a longer evening in Redmond, and spent far more money on tires than I expected, that I finally decided to treat myself while I could. Family Pancake House was closing by the time I left the tire place, so IHOP it was.

I don't think I've had one of their hot chocolates since I was a kid.

One of the things I did before all the layoff stuff went down was get rid of my cable service. I don't watch enough TV to really keeps it, and I found a place where my antenna gets all the channels I need (I just use local TV for local news).

The nice thing is, I don't use the TV as a my TV. The signal goes into my TV card on my PC. Which actually allows you to stream it anywhere in the house. It works BETTER than my cable service!

Onyl downside is I don't get CBC anymore. But I only watched the news on CBC, and they put that on YouTube.

Laid Off, Day Zero: My former work desk quickly becomes a pizza buffet.

Years before the Cybertonian Wars, Proud Daddy Ironhide takes his son Ratchet for a day in the park.

Some serious fog Tuesday night, though.

Wednesday night we had another windstorm. Again, we just happened to be in a pocket of no winds, somehow.

Deep thoughts about the future while I still have a present.

Things are still going as normal as ever over at Twitter....
