R.I.P. Windows 7. The best Windows OS that Microsoft ever made. I don't care what anyone says. Screw Windows 8 & 10. 

Happy Win7 Death Day! Got a big ol' blue screen at boot up saying horrible things will happen if I don't upgrade. Funny enough...there's a windows update happening. Is M$ gonna murder my old PC? I get my new one in a week, M$!

Do you fear your cat?

Can anyone lend me two eighty-pound rats? I want to rid my house of cats.

In a perfect world, Tucker Corporation would have succeeded. I would have been born in 1930 and lived a long successful life as one of their star techs. The Tucker 48 would've been the launching pad to further trend-setting engineering marvels.

Happy 40th Anniversary to "Star Trek: The Motion Picture," released in the US on December 7th, 1979.

What's your Top 3 Anime (in no particular order)?

Me:   Cowboy Bebop, Death Note, FLCL (first series only).

For me, NES is the only system that feels dated, or not as special as once before. The games aren't as fun, a lot seem babyish, or my taste has changed.

Dorian on tour: Next stop Nova Scotia.

Drinks on me. Got >10% raise this morning from my current employer after giving notice yesterday that I accepted another job. It's been a stressful process and looking forward to a few cold ones after work tonight.

Buy, obey, do not question authority, watch TV, no independent thought, consume, stay asleep, submit, honor apathy . . .

replaced the 6507 on the heavy sixer that wasn't working, fixed it.

I don't know what to have for dinner.  We've gone through the rotation so many times. I just can't think of something new.

My dog wouldn't eat a piece of bologna I offered her as a treat, turned up her nose, until I dredged it in the leftover sauce from a can of Chef Boyardee Beef Raviolis I made for my disabled BIL who lives with us.  I chopped it up in the pan and let it soak up that awesome sauce.  She devoured the bologna.  Chef Boiardi was a real chef from Italy who immigrated to the USA in 1915 and opened his own restaurant.  His customers loved his sauce so much that he started bottling it for sale for them to take home.  I've only tried the ravioli, but they also make spaghetti and meatballs and also just the sauce alone.

BIL loves it.  I shake a little romano and parmesan cheese on top to kick it up a notch.  Small salad to go with it. 

Looking forward to a week of vintage Doom & Doom II. Then the beginnings of purging Apple II stuff.

Retogaming with real hardware? Hard. The gap to interfacing the controllers and video to the typical at home stuff is ever-widening.

Going to Red Lobster for dinner this evening. I might order something expensive.

I want an Asteroids TV show with this as its theme song:

I was watching the local news, and they cut to a field reporter for a story and he wasn't ready or something. So he said "oh God damn it" in an angry voice I guess not thinking he was live. He's a veteran reporter too -- even has the 1950's style hat. If I were a reporter, I'd assume every mic is live and not curse. It's like you assume a gun is loaded even when it's not and you don't point it at anyone.

Intel is failing and can't get smaller than 14nm. AMD, Apple, Samsung, TSMC are all at 10nm and almost at 7 already!

Epiphany of the day - Game of Thrones is an unashamed rip-off of Dragonriders of Pern.
