Pseudo Review: Followup Of Newly Confiscated 2016 12″ MacBook

The first pseudo-review is here. A third is here. How did I get here, dear worst-reader? How did I get to be the confiscating husband I've become? And how did I get to this place I'm at where being overwhelmed w/ tech gadgets could be so frustrating? You know, dear worst-reader, as a useless-eater, as … Continue reading Pseudo Review: Followup Of Newly Confiscated 2016 12″ MacBook →

Roadkill And Other Forms Of Scaring Ausländer Out Of Germania

The horse in the pic above literally asked me, albeit in German, to leave his country. The fish in the moat around some #eurowasteland baroque castle said nothing. The flying rat reminded me of the story I'm about to tell. And the headless mouse reminded me of all those in my beloved #americant that got … Continue reading Roadkill And Other Forms Of Scaring Ausländer Out Of Germania →

Adjusted For Inflation, We’re Back To Feudal Days Galore. Congratulate Yourself.

What's missing from this post, and from the pic above, is what it's being compared to. Indeed. According the article where I stole the pic above, there was once a single company (adjusted for inflation) that was as big as all of these companies put together. That company? The Dutch East India Company. Since that … Continue reading Adjusted For Inflation, We’re Back To Feudal Days Galore. Congratulate Yourself. →

How The #neweconomy Became The #oldeconomy And #Apple #Sucks

Who loves being forced to buy new technology? I mean, that's really what's happening these days, or? If hardware manufactures somehow acted responsibly, there would then be no reason that the investment consume-to-survivors make couldn't last longer. Or are the engineers that make everything smaller and thinner really not that good after-all? Oh wait. We're … Continue reading How The #neweconomy Became The #oldeconomy And #Apple #Sucks →

Worst Tweet # 4 Thousand So-n-So

Since the 80s #americant has been living off of consume-to-survive nothingness, meritlessness and the rule of mindless, college grad corporate #Automatons run amok. Understanding how the old economy so easily defeated the new economy in the 90s is also something worth considering. Then there're the #warmongering #WarsofChoice of this new millennium. And now you're worried … Continue reading Worst Tweet # 4 Thousand So-n-So →

The Confusion Of Roadkill, Mighty Mouse And Who Is In My Dungeon Or Who Will Survive My Neighbor’s Dog’s (W)Rath?

  In my previous post, I wanted to put up these pics. But then I started typing and, well, you know how that batshit show ends up. Still. Here is potentially the post I would have uploaded regarding roadkill, my youthful confusion between Mighty Mouse and Mickey Mouse and a dead rabbit that was obviously … Continue reading The Confusion Of Roadkill, Mighty Mouse And Who Is In My Dungeon Or Who Will Survive My Neighbor’s Dog’s (W)Rath? →

Anti Relaxation, Boredom And Too Much Bat$hittery In The Homeland. But The Beach Is Still Grand.

Pics above a welcome change of scenery from all those months in #eurowasteland. Assateague Island galore, including a lovely but decaying flush mechanism from a beach outhouse that I feel compelled to include. I wonder sometimes if flush mechanisms have lost their value in these days of greed mongering, sex abuse by people who are … Continue reading Anti Relaxation, Boredom And Too Much Bat$hittery In The Homeland.

Japanese Deer On Assateague Island Looks Like Bambi And Costs An Andrew Jackson To See

https://youtu.be/nixnXIxlx-0 According to our friendly neighbourhood park ranger, this is not Bambi (vid above). I mean, we thought we were walking next to Bambi. She's got spots on her back n'all. But according to Ranger Billy-Bob-Junior she ain't even a "deer". She's an elk. Of course, I don't really care. I was so pissed that … Continue reading Japanese Deer On Assateague Island Looks Like Bambi And Costs An Andrew Jackson To See →

That Moment You’re Out Of Battery. Oh. Great! I’ve Got Another One. Battery, That Is.

A pretty gruelling ride yesterday. It started with a train ride that took me and my electrified The Panzer to the badlands at the end of Wuppertal. (Btw, if you've never been to Wuppertal, you have to go. It's worth it to go there and just take a ride on the Schwebebahn.) From there I … Continue reading That Moment You’re Out Of Battery. Oh.

Pseudo Review: RasPlex + Hifiberry And Some Serious Audio On The Cheap

  Kinda follow-up, update to this post here. More pseudo-review of audio equipment here. Can a non-audiophile still hear great audio? Can a music-lover of old music still get some jams through his/her head in these digital times without breaking the bank? Do those guys that spend all that money as "audiophiles" give you the … Continue reading Pseudo Review: RasPlex + Hifiberry And Some Serious Audio On The Cheap →

Lucky Castle Sunset vs 1979 Solar Eclipse And A Treehouse I Never Built

Disclaimer. This post is somewhat NSFW. Good luck. §On account I'm so jealous that I couldn't see the solar eclipse yesterday, here's a pic I took two weeks ago while visiting the Ostsee. Sorry for the over-exposure. (That is over-exposure, right? I really know zilch about picture taking.) §I do recall seeing a solar eclipse … Continue reading Lucky Castle Sunset vs 1979 Solar Eclipse And A Treehouse I Never Built →

My Grandfather Served In WW2 On The Losing Side

https://twitter.com/attn/status/898328098529083394 “Growing up, I was surrounded by broken men ― men who came home from the war filled with shrapnel and guilt. Men who were misled into a losing ideology. ...  And right now they’re resting in hell.” -Arnold Schwarzenegger My grandfather was in the German Navy in WW2. I'll never forget him telling me … Continue reading My Grandfather Served In WW2 On The Losing Side →
