Blog Migration H-Eeeee-Double-Toothpicks And Why I Left #AWS

Due to (technical) knowledge constraints I thought I overcame, I recently gave up hosting my blog with AWS. According to the conspiracy theorist inside my third-eye, I think the problem I had hosting at AWS was due to the fact that they couldn't up-sell me and my lolly blog from being free-tier to being (insert $-amount) … Continue reading Blog Migration H-Eeeee-Double-Toothpicks And Why I Left #AWS →

Of the few people I wish I could have met. Or. At 12 I learned the Bible story of Goliath v Comrade David

Due to broken family relations, I attended a few bible study classes in my early years. At the time, while sitting in the back of the class, I didn't think much of it. According to my mother, I had to go, I was paying my time. In later years recollection of those classes both haunts and … Continue reading Of the few people I wish I could have met. Or.

Saga Puke Of #Americant Dumbed Voices Continues, But I'll See The Film Anyway Eventually

Sometimes I (worst)wonder about the voice(s) that raised me. Obviously I didn't listen much to them, yet they somehow were able to embed in the depths of the 90% brain that's used so little. Have the 20+ yrs in #Eurowasteland brought about those distant voices? Has the trauma of expatriate-ism dis-embedded those voices? Not sure. … Continue reading Saga Puke Of #Americant Dumbed Voices Continues, But I'll See The Film Anyway Eventually →

A Grid Computer, A Deadline, German Girls Learning American-English

How easy one forgets or just plain misses his/her history. In today's world of fancy-pants super computers masquerading as dumb-downed smartphones there was a day a long, long, long time ago where humility reigned supreme--especially when it was Friday late afternoon and one takes on a deadline for 8am Monday. At least that's how I remember my entry … Continue reading A Grid Computer, A Deadline, German Girls Learning American-English →

Benefits Of Pressure Cooking, Long White Wrapping Tape Poetry, Subcontinent Blues

Bought a pressure cooker the other day. When it arrived and I unpacked it I realised quickly that lowered expectations would have served me better. But how low? This is not the continent, I remembered. Lower your expectations, my thoughts repeated. Sub and sub-par. One of the security guards who watches over our little gated … Continue reading Benefits Of Pressure Cooking, Long White Wrapping Tape Poetry, Subcontinent Blues →

Superficial Question Of The Day: What Should 7B People Do According to Mr. Jensen?

The question: What should 7 billion useless eating bottom feeder lemmings do if they are not achievers--but think they are (achievers)? Ah. The tried & true response to a grand issue stemming out of the sophomoric mindset of a pseudo (master)debater and an unbeknownst polymath (wannabe). The answer from she/he: It doesn’t really matter. But … Continue reading Superficial Question Of The Day: What Should 7B People Do According to Mr. Jensen? →

Pseudo Review Of Jura's Impressa J85 And Its Passage To India

Moka Pot (the only alternative to a high pressure machine for espresso) French Press (great for breakfast or afternoon quickie) Espresso (number one but also expensive) Instant (seriously, I … Continue reading Pseudo Review Of Jura's Impressa J85 And Its Passage To India →

Passage To India: First Night In New Home, Dreams Don't Come True, Or Did They Already?

Spent last night alone in our new über-Flat. My better-half is in Mumbai and she stuck me with the luggage and dog to take to our new home. No hard feelings though, the dog and I survived the ordeal in the treacherous heat! Yeah, Beckett, the killer pug, the three of us, have been living out … Continue reading Passage To India: First Night In New Home, Dreams Don't Come True, Or Did They Already? →

Yacht Fantasy, Retractable Keels And Why #Americant Is The Dream

Woke up hot and bothered this morn. While walking the dog a local informed me that he's never experienced temperatures like these in Bangelore at this time of year. As I worst-write this weather.com is saying it's ninety-nine degrees fahrenheit outside. It actually feels cooler now than a few hours ago because there was no … Continue reading Yacht Fantasy, Retractable Keels And Why #Americant Is The Dream →
