I’ve seen so many of these clocks at antique stores, estate sales and such with with IBM plaques on them with someone’s name. Apparently IBM used to gift these to employees for 25 years of service or something to that effect. Given the cost

When I was in highschool I started writing a game in Qbasic. Along the way, I wanted it to have a console (like Quake) where you could enter commands and modify the game as you were running it. This lead me to create a scripting engine in Q

I don’t know if it was just me but I had bad luck with my holy pandas from them. I build 3 different boards using them and they all started having issues within a few months of use. Double bboounce, and keys nt htting. This was several year

I consume a probably unhealthy amount of YouTube and have for years now. I’ve had Premium since the beginning (still only paying $7.99 a month). At least there’s studies that show directed consumption that I do when I manually search and fi

Not really fair to compare the two geographic regions. Nobody wants to live on the streets in Dallas or Houston. It’s way too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. That said, living in Dallas I have seen the odd tent city pop up und

When growing up watching Americas Funniest Home Videos my brother and I would run to the kitchen phone to press 1, 2, or 3 to ‘vote’ for our favorite finalist.

I have slight nerve issues that make precise double tap gestures difficult. One of the reasons I switched to an iPhone is the accessibility features are quite good and let me work around the issues I have more easily. Given how many older p

All the PHP jobs I saw while job searching required Laravel experience. Despite having 19 years experience with PHP and other frameworks, I was out of the running for those jobs.

I like long videos, too, but I could see this being useful to let it summarize a video beforehand so I can see if it's worth spending the time to watch it myself. Could also be good if you have a long video and you want the text transc

I bought a 2011 4runner last year and one thing I really like about it is the lack of a big infotainment touch screen. Lots of physical buttons.

At least where I have worked, the attitude is your PTO is yours and you can use it for whatever you want, no questions asked. How can an employer be mad for an employee using the PTO they were given? It's Personal time off. -- edit,

I just watched Planetes last weekend. I'd started it many times but never finished it. Once the main story arc with the main character gets rolling, it gets really good. I wish more anime shows would be a one season and done affair, in

First time I used Debian was 2005 when it was the easiest option I could find to install Linux on a Sun Sparc Station LX with netboot. Still my favorite and my go-to Distro.

Reminds me of some Lotus Notes folklore. Apparently they used to use timestamps with a resolution of 1 second as unique IDs for things. When there was a collision, they would just add 1 second. Eventually, you'd end up with items being

My first Nintendo device since the original NES was in 2015 when I bought a 'New' Nintendo 3DS XL. It was getting long in the tooth by then, but I had a lot of fun with it and still mess with it from time to time (the eShop closin

Hate to say it, but this fits me a lot right now (sans the family part). I really need to skill-up and start looking for a new gig.

I played the original Deus Ex back when it was new, also DX:HR and DX:MD. Of the two new ones, I find myself going back to replay DX:MD more. To me the biggest problem with MD was it's third act sort of fizzles out, but I enjoy the res

I remember how my blood would run cold when you could hear the drive making that distinctive noise when it's re-reading the same sector over and over again because it's not reading right.
