  • I rarely have free time at work. I like what I do so it doesn’t feel like a soul sucking grind, I just finish something and start working on the next thing.

    I’ll troubleshoot or enhance my home lab when I take a break. Be productive around the house like laundry or empty dishwasher, let the dogs out, organize digital files or mail/bills. How very “over 40” of me, right?




  • I bought a Trayvax Contour about 6-8 years ago, I’m not even sure but it’s been a while. It’s still perfect and I use it every day. I bought a second one five years ago maybe and gave it as a gift. That person still uses theirs too every day.

    It satisfies all my wallet requirements and I Never have that “itch” to see what could be better. It’s invisible in my life in the best way.

    The Contour is sourced and Made in the USA and comes backed by the Trayvax 65-Year Heirloom Warranty

    I am going to build some bird houses, bat houses and I’ve seen this thing people Build fake ponds in 5 gallon buckets and put the mosquito pucks in them. Change it out every few weeeks but it’s a fake habitat for mosquitoes and it may reduce. Not sure. I’ll try some of this next year.

    My back yard is up against a wood line. Tons of mosquitoes, almost unbearable so I buy a big zapper so I can sit outside. Then that first year I start noticing lightning bugs, so the zapper is off. I have to watch them through a window but we have lots of them.

    It’s just sad I can’t sit outside to enjoy them.


  • I didn’t hate this episode, but I feel like it’s more Dr Who than trek maybe? Like each week it’s something that’s not about Star Trek almost? Hard to describe.

    When was Pike last, acting like a captain. Are they even in space? Ten episodes only and so far not a lot has happened in space, or overall plot outside of character relationships.

    I’m not a writer or a critic but I’d like to see the captain be a captain. I think if this had been a tng episode, the orions would be a smaller part of it and the main focus would be the competence porn of solving the problem. Instead the problems are always hand-waved away, it’s talked about but it’s not the characters journey of solving it. That part just happens. The Orion plot almost became the A plot.








  • Cinematography is excellent, acting is great and it has some heavy hitters on screen. The story, well, it had to be your type of movie. I’m not a critic. The movie didn’t land for me and my opinion formed pretty early because the topic wasn’t something I was interested in.

    None of the characters grow. There’s no exploration of the outside world beyond the characters. It’s very character driven in every aspect. You only see what the characters can see. IMO, every character has significant flaws and weren’t likeable. It can be one or the other but not both.

    I enjoyed the film for its good aspects but i won’t be doing a rewatch.


  • I thought it was really engaging even for a longer movie.

    I honestly thought though that the whole school shooting part didn’t have much that couldn’t have been cut. There’s 100 reasons why clones would be a thing other than school shootings. It was too on the nose and cutting would drop 20-25 minutes from the movie and not lose anything from the main point or story.

    If I sold someone this as a comedy, I don’t think I’d be doing a good job. It’s funny but has some serious topics it dives pretty heavily into and some people will be caught off guard like I was.
