Yes, I've combined the DVD's and blu-rays in this post because they are so similar. Obviously not in resolution but in the concept of putting a disc in a device and playing it to watch a show. I grew up with VHS. I'll have a post on those later but we used them up until the late 90's. In high school DVD became the...
Hey everyone. I've been seeing a chunk of posts about folks going back to physical and offline media these days so I thought I'd write up a few helpful posts on the matter. When I was in kindergarten I had one of those Fisher Price record players for kids. It was brown and tan and actually played records. They sold...
Hey everyone. I've been seeing a chunk of posts about folks going back to physical and offline media these days so I thought I'd write up a few helpful posts on the matter. I'm starting with cassettes because it's the latest one I jumped back into, mostly due to affordability. As a kid our cars had tape decks, and...
Today I set up the butane stove outside and cooked a pot of ramen noodles for the Noodl.ist social media stuff. I'm just waiting on the videos to migrate from my phone to icloud so I can pull them up on my laptop to edit into shorts and reels. Sometimes it takes a day or so. Tomorrow I'll edit it up and throw it out...
I go to the grocery store at least twice a week because we are a house of 6 people, 4 of which are adult level eaters. When I make food there are rarely leftovers. (Unless it was a failed experiment where I gave an online recipe the benefit of the doubt.) Anyway, I went to the store to get eggs and cheese to make...
My youngest son wanted to refresh his gaming youtube channel with a new name and logo. His current one is something he whipped up in canva a year ago. He used to change it often. I had made him a logo and such when he had his Tornado themed gaming channel but he and a buddy were running around with usernames...
The other day when I was watching Bugonia I noticed how intense the closeups were. Parts of their faces were in extreme focus, while everything else around them was blurry. This gave everything kind a dreamlike state flavor that worked for the show but I couldn't shake how awkward it was to watch the entire time....
A few days ago I got a set of Tarkir and Bloomburrow commander precons in. I broke them all down and listed the singles this weekend so I had over 60 orders to pull and fill today. Took 3 hours to sort and pack them. That's only about $200 worth of sales, minus shipping, minus fees. Womp womp. You can see why I'm...
I've tried. It's always bad. I've spent days letting dough proof in the fridge. I've used fancy 00 flour. The crust is always tough, dense, and limp. It ends up dehydrated more than baked. No light chewiness or dark crust. It stays light and just gets dryer the longer or hotter I make the oven. I've tried all the...
I finally watched a movie. I didn't care for it. lol. Actors were great. Ending was weak. Too easy to spoil so I won't go into detail as to why. [I put all the details as to why in my obsidian notes so nobody can get mad at me for being wrong.]
Setting up Obsidian for the first time. One of my buddies in my writing group said he uses it for taking notes all year and managing his poetry and writing projects so I figured I'd give it a try. It reminds me of Evernote and a few other task programs. I used to use Evernote back in 2009 for a while until they made...
If I'm drawing or making something I can easily put on music with words in it. I can throw on a movie or tv show in the background and get to work. When I'm driving I'll have podcasts going without issue. But if I'm writing... The words I hear on the TV or in the music will override the words I am trying to hear in...
