Review: Who Censored Roger Rabbit?
Who Censored Roger Rabbit? by Gary K. Wolf My rating: 3 of 5 stars This book is completely different from the movie it inspired, the movie I’ve loved since I was a kid and have found layers to appreciate as an adult. It isn’t bad, it’s just wholly different. I’ve written in some reviews on…

Digikam 4.x and Baloo
Back when I was looking into doing all my photography on Linux I saw that whenever I would add a tag to a bunch of photos that it would crash Digikam. I filed a bug and was told it was a problem with Baloo that would be fixed in Digikam 5. I wanted my photos…

SuperMario now has 3/4 of its possible RAM
While it’s generally not needed for a general purpose Linux computer, when editing large RAW files it helps to have lots of RAM. But the biggest reason I upgrade the RAM on SuperMario was that Crashplan requires about 1GB of RAM per 1TB being backed up. With me moving everything but gaming over to SuperMario,…

Pacific Northwest Trip Part 2
This year happened to contain one of the driest summers the Pacific Northwest had seen. There were lots of fire raging, some intentionally set and some caused by nature. On the way to the Bachelor Party caving trip, I saw this immense plume of smoke from a fire. I’d been to lots of caverns before,…

Pacific Northwest Trip Part 1
A while ago I went to the Pacific Northwest for Dave’s wedding. I finally am getting caught up with my photos from back then. It was a fun trip because we’d lived in Oregon for a few years when I was a kid so I was able to revisit some fun areas. First up was…

Upgraded Windows 7 to Windows 10
After waiting for a bit, turned out that the only real issue with Windows 10 is that you shouldn’t do Express Install unless you want Microsoft spying on everything. Also, now that I’m doing photography on Linux (another post about that at some point), the only thing I had to lose was the ability to…

My favorite concert shirt and one of my favorite old shirts has gained too many holes to continue wearing. Here’s the memorial:

Strawberry Picking
Scarlett had a good time picking apples, so Danielle thought it’d be neat to take Scarlett strawberry picking. I was pretty surprised at how many people were there. When we arrived, they gave us a box to fill with strawberries. Scarlett was quite excited about carrying the box over to the fields. Unsurprisingly, it…

June 2015 Video Game Report
The Witcher (3 hours): Finally had some time to get back to The Witcher. It definitely isn’t the type of game where you want to have long gaps between playthroughs. But there isn’t much I can do about it. Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (30 minutes): Scarlett just asked me if we could play Sonic. So…
