Pseudo Unboxing & Review Of 2017 12″ MacBook

Title 2: Or How I Got My (Almost) Pink On What is it you do, dear worst-reader? In other worst-words, what do you do between the hell-day that is modern western consumerism run-amok aka Xmas combined with the ending of yet another krappy (worst) year in a universe lead by the greatest land of free … Continue reading Pseudo Unboxing & Review Of 2017 12″ MacBook →

Prepping For In-between Years And New Remotes That Leave Us On Couch

Tonights playlist with first glass of wine after day full of basement cleaning... Hold a sec. That's right. That's how I roll between Xhrist's birth-death-day and the beginning of yet another worst-year: I clean, at the behest of my better-half, HER friggin' basement. And not just clean, don't you know. Indeed. Two car loads of … Continue reading Prepping For In-between Years And New Remotes That Leave Us On Couch →

Birthday In Pics

An almost moonlight river cruise... cruising by as I walk Beckett the killer pug. A few hours earlier, walking the same damn useless mut, I was wondering if a river port/harbour lost a buoy. Losing a buoy might not be such an oddity as the river's been rising like a monster in the last few … Continue reading Birthday In Pics →

That Last Bottle Of Wine Full Of Memories

Xmas Eve dinners are a big deal in worst-writer's house. A few people are invited and some of them actually come. Since the kids are all growed-up this is mostly an adult evening. Either that or the kids are with divorcee parents. Nomatter. To begin the occasion, a bottle of champagne is opened and most drink … Continue reading That Last Bottle Of Wine Full Of Memories →

How Much You Don’t Know Can Hurt You (Deep Inside) Forever

Disclaimer: This is not a pseudo-review of the movie The Butler and there is only one slight spoiler. My son asked me the other week if I had seen the movie The Butler. I told him I had not. When I asked if he'd seen it, to my surprise he said he had and then … Continue reading How Much You Don’t Know Can Hurt You (Deep Inside) Forever →

Learning How Good The Crunge Really Is And Other Songs

Potential sub- or alternative title: Oh how pleased I am with current status of (my) audio consumption and still being able to get it on at my age. Yesterday's evening conduit? It began with a glass of Weißburgunder and a few tunes from greatest-band-ever randomly discharged from my home network wifi to my 2015 MacBook … Continue reading Learning How Good The Crunge Really Is And Other Songs →

The Great Scam In Full Bloom. Thanks #Americant.

Does it matter that in all my travels, in all my years working for the man, in all those board rooms, sales pitches, project discussions, ex-wives, etc., I've never met a person that I look up to, admire or consider to be someone of talent or expertise. This, dear worst-reader, is the hell so many … Continue reading The Great Scam In Full Bloom. Thanks #Americant. →

Story Of Blue M&Ms, Dinner Perfect And Gin

Preparing dinner the other night I got into a worst-photo mode. Lord knows I'll never quite figure out how these camera-phone-computer-thingies work. But then again, with fresh blue M&Ms direct from NYC... I'm good. Nomatter. Rant on. -T PS The story of blue M&Ms is to come. Maybe.

Going Without Water?

https://youtu.be/pBsnWr6aeg0It's been a low-water year for the mighty Rhine River, dear worst-reader. FYI, the Rhine River has a special place in my heart. For most of my expat days in Germania, I have lived near the Rhine. Although I consider myself a water person--that is, landlocked places give me the creeps--the Rhine, even if it … Continue reading Going Without Water? →

Water Pool In Tesla X Spoiler

A photograph by worstwriter! While walking Beckett, the killer pug, yesterday and picking up a package from a DHL package station--and boy do I love those package stations on account they mean I don't have to have so many working poor fellows ringing my door bell all the time--I pass by a regional Tesla dealer. … Continue reading Water Pool In Tesla X Spoiler →

Die Flinte Ins Korn Werfen

Screenshot of an email I received. Tech stuff I hate. Where to begin? I hate the fact that any sort of decent to exaggerated information processing is eventually owned by the software that processes it. In other worst-words: I really hate the fact that if/when I create a document in, say, Microsoft Word or Apple … Continue reading Die Flinte Ins Korn Werfen →

Reading The Footbed

Authoritarian Shoes? Yes. Authoritarians? No...? First. I'm not selling anything. Seriously. Ok. Maybe I'm selling all–things-worst. Yeah. That's good enough. Second. I've always considered two parts of my body to be more important than other parts: teeth and feet. But don't get me wrong. I don't care if teeth are white and shinny. They just … Continue reading Reading The Footbed →

Pontification Galore (Or Maybe Not)

Dear Old Friend, Let me know more of the #Americant reality that is dictated by lust for fictionalised (regurgitated?) truth. I think this is also referred to as the/a mental distortion field. A common place, indeed, dear old friend. Of course. I could be wrong on account I actually liked Steve Jobs. You know, the … Continue reading Pontification Galore (Or Maybe Not) →

Fighting the Fight Against The Unfighters

NPR in EU 1NPR in EU 2LA Times in EUThe Unfighters Second choice title: Bourgeois technorati being, what else, bourgeois. Sometimes interesting conversations do come out of the über-upper middle class of my beloved & missed #Americant and its otherwise money-minded bourgeois technorati. And while I'm not quite off subject yet... Time to worst-write a … Continue reading Fighting the Fight Against The Unfighters →

New Shoes To Turkey Day

Walking the other day prior to cooking where I celebrate #Eurowastelanders slaughtering--as only they can--the indigenous peoples of the Americas way back when. And I do it unashamedly in the land of those same #Eurowastelanders. Does that mean I'm full gone-native now? Or should I just keep reminding them of what they've done? Silly questions, … Continue reading New Shoes To Turkey Day →

Correspondance: Getting My Head Unstuck

Re: and we talk about Americans... Dear Old Friend, Well, since you’re into the patriarchal + sadistic nature of rural and privileged white-people, I wouldn’t worry so much about Aussies and their sexual perversions. Twin females embracing what most western females have been doing all along—which in turn has lead to Trump being elected by … Continue reading Correspondance: Getting My Head Unstuck →

Correspondance: Money Laundering

Re: Canada Real Estate China Dear Old Friend, FYI, I can’t access the article you sent because 1) I use adblockers at the client level and 2) I use adblockers at the DNS level (pi-hole.net). But I was able to read the title of the article and the first few lines—which is all one needs … Continue reading Correspondance: Money Laundering →

Getting Some Tech On

Subtitle: How To Get Some Tech Freedom With SBC As previously mentioned here, I've been dabbling of-late in the world of SBC (Single Board Computing). Reason? I'm on a long and curvy path to weaning myself from/of Apple and its hellacious eco-system. In fact, I'm currently fiddling around with the idear of getting off the … Continue reading Getting Some Tech On →

Pseudo-Review #7- Charger GX At 6,000km, Winter Is Coming

Psuedo-Subtitle: The good, the bad, and not much to report. Here is a tag-link to all my e-bike posts. Let us begin, dear worst-rider, with the truth.

With that in mind, there is no need to … Continue reading Pseudo-Review #7- Charger GX At 6,000km, Winter Is Coming →

Pseudo Tech Test 1: RPi OMV NAS Is First Step To Freedom?

Would you believe, dear worst-reader, that I spent the last few weeks reading up on SBC's (single board computer) because... these little (miracle) devices are so silly-inexpensive AND extremely useful that I can just keep buying them in order to busy my early-retirement existence, I already have three of them in full use so why … Continue reading Pseudo Tech Test 1: RPi OMV NAS Is First Step To Freedom? →

Speeders Beware

I should consider myself lucky, I guess. I mean, if the Croatian police officer with the fine penmanship could read my mind about what I was thinking at the moment I received my first speeding ticket in this really, really, beautiful, picturesque country, I'd be in jail right now. But I kept my cool. I … Continue reading Speeders Beware →

Labin E-Bike Tour And Testing Limits

My better half surprised me with some R&R that includes e-biking. Since I'm staying at one of the higher elevations as my e-bike starting point, heed this: you're either going up or your going down any given surface when riding an e-bike in Labin, Croatia. Other than the backyard where you rest your machine, or the … Continue reading Labin E-Bike Tour And Testing Limits →

First Time In Croatia

Although there are lots of Das Volk out there that don't mind long car drives, I ain't one of them. So. On our way to Istria, Croatia, for a bit of R&R we stopped for two nights in Salzburg. Perhaps more on Salzburg later. Exhausted from the drive from Salzburg to Istria, we eventually found our … Continue reading First Time In Croatia →

Coat Hangers Or Knitting Needles

Watching/reading about the proceedings regarding scariest #SCOTUS appointment ever--that #Americants deserve? Also a few pics from #Eurowasteland that coincide with it all. (Actually I've since learned that, in Germany, women who died from botched abortions, did so because of knitting needles not coat hangers.) Rant on. T
