Swift Playground
I went to WordCamp Cincinnati last weekend*, and while I was there overheard one of my co-workers talking about a “learn to code” program for iPad geared towards kids. Using Swift, the program has you write little bits of code to help an alien solve puzzles. It’s totally made for kids, and I’m totally hooked. More…

Complete with roaring “fire”
My friends (the ones with the cat) moved to New York state, and so their house here is for rent. That by itself is not interesting enough even for my newly lax blogging standards but when they sent me the posting for the rental property, I did a double take: When I viewed the listing…

Pumpkin all the things
Thanks Kroger. You’ve made it super easy to get my Pumkin fix.

Tech Support in the Wild
John and I went to see Thor: Raggnarok last night. The movie was awesome, but this post is not about that. It’s about this: the sweet chairs that many movie theaters have these days. We got to our seats and tried to recline, only to discover that both of our seats were broken. So much…

Where should I live next?
It’s starting to get cold in Ohio, which means I’m having my annual internal dialogue about why I continue to live here. I have a job where I can live anywhere, so why am I still living a place where frozen water will fall from the sky on the regular? Since I have recently committed…

Other People’s Children
I don’t have children of my own,* but I spend a fair amount of time with other people’s kids, and they fascinate me for a variety of reasons. One of which is their desire to be on camera. In retrospect, I don’t think this is a new thing. My sisters and I made audio recordings…

Adventures of Vent Cat: Part 1

Perfect is the Enemy of the Good
I do not intend to be such an infrequent blogger. I even have things to talk about. For example, there has been a cat living in my vent for 3 months. That is totally blog worthy. So why haven’t I told you about it? Because in my head it’s a huge long post with details…

Mystery Solved
Back when I had a job I had to drive to, I saw this place in North Dayton everyday. Maybe it’s the comic geek in me, but the name appealed to me and so I paid closer attention than you would expect considering it was just a random place I drove by everyday. I didn’t…

So close
Just an “e” away from fulfilling my life long dream of being Aes Sedai.

Gatlinburg TN
I went on Vacation. I took some photos. Pro-tip: If you go to Gatlinburg during the week you can get in all the awesome tourist cheese without dealing with hordes of other people and the hotel rooms are fairly cheap. You looked at all my random, uncaptioned photos! Your thank you gift is this video…
