On This Day

Should you dig back through my archives, please keep in mind that the further in the past a post was published, the more likely it is that the information has become outdated or my beliefs have changed. I sincerely believe that learning, growing, examining, and often changing beliefs is an integral part of being a responsible human being. My personal journey socially and politically has been ever leftwards, and there are many posts in the archives that I would not write the same way today, if at all. Thanks for understanding!

    • Have a couple hours to kill this Saturday before the evening revelries? Join my DJ alter-ego for Spüki Tünes with DJ Wüdi on Halloween Afternün! 1 p.m. (Pacific time) on my Twitch channel. Old classics, newer goofiness, and some stuff I just thought would fit in.
    • Difficult Listening Hour 2020.10.27 Week thirty-one of my unplanned, unrehearsed, seat-of-the-pants goofing around.

    • Don’t dream it…be it! #rhps #rockyhorrorpictureshow
    • Rather pleasantly surprised that my insurance company offers AD&D insurance. That’ll be handy if I decide to do a dungeon crawl! 😄 #adnd #advanceddungeonsanddragons #dungeonsanddragons #dnd #idontknowwhatthatactuallymeans
    • Happy to see these #culturenotcostume posters by @cwudiversity get put up on campus. A little bummed they just showed up today, Oct. 28th, when many costumes will have been made/purchased already, and on a Friday, when my building is nearly deserted. Much better than nothing at all, though!
    • Tumblr encouraged me to “take a spooky selfie” today, and this was the overlay it provided. I guess I’m spooky now? This is silly. (302/366)

    • OpinionOutpost Apology Last June, I got a comment on my site that as far as I could tell was comment spam advertising a site called Opinion Outpost. Not being a fan of that style of advertising, I posted about it. Yesterday, I actually got an apology from the person who originally left the comment that started it all.
    • More family photos A couple of months ago, Prairie and I drove down to join my parents at my brother's house in Corvallis, OR for a weekend. Dad's just uploaded his pictures of the trip, and two in particular caught my eye.

    • Prognostication You know, back in 2000 a Republican friend of mine warned me that if I voted for Al Gore and he won, the stock market would tank, we'd lose millions of jobs, and our military would be totally overstretched.
    • 2004’s Scariest Halloween Costumes On my way back to work from lunch I passed one of The Stranger's distribution boxes, paused a moment to check out this week's cover — and probably startled a couple of the people around me when I burst out laughing at the cover photo.
    • Wishlist: Bank transaction RSS feed Just something that popped into my head. I want a daily update from my bank via authenticated RSS feed. Are there any banks (especially in the Seattle area) that offer this as part of their online banking?

    • Thank you! Many thanks to all of you who've passed on words of encouragement. Here's some answers to a few of the questions that have been brought up over all this.

    • George Whatever the cause, the effect was an animal more purely and innately demonic than any other that I've ever run across, or would care to run across in the future.
