We've been watching SG-1. We're in season 7 now. It's staying steadily very good to excellent. There are more than a few mind possession or earth intrigue plots that we've endured but for the most part it's still about exploring other worlds/fighting the Goa'uld.

Amateur max Eclipse glasses over my phone. And a colander.

I remember getting off the long flight from Tokyo to Toronto, going into a Starbucks asking for a large coffee with cream and the "deer in the headlights" look I got from the employee behind the counter. It's like she was brainwashed.

Ukraine would never do something like this attack in Russia. Western support would crumble.

I recall meeting with a tech company in Kentucky and they were explaining that their sustainability efforts were handicapped by, at least at the time, Kentucky law which required that all electricity needed to be generated by coal fired electrical plants. That was maybe 20 years ago + or - I...

Our cat Chester is a pain in the ass trying to sneak (or run) out the door when I go out to the driveway. We keep a water sprayer there on the floor. He backs off when we spray in his direction but he keeps trying. We can't let our guard down. He can go in the enclosure but not roam around...

Oh, if it counts I was at a Canon dealer event at a trade show in Las Vegas in the late 1980's/early 1990s. Canon invited their dealers and some industry analysts and Canon hired Dolly Parton to play a set. Not really my thing but I guess I can say I saw Dolly Parton. I wonder what Canon paid...

In 1980 I saw The Kinks at Umass Amherst. Starting 1982 to 1995 I saw about 100 Grateful Dead Concerts Saw Warren Zevon at a bar in Amherst. He came out after midnight totally drunk I saw a few The Dead concerts in the early 2000s Then from 2019 to 2023 I saw 7 Dead and Company concerts...

The best business dinner I ever had not in Tokyo but north of London in a small city called Luton. Venison steak with some special dipping sauce.

The First one. Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone if you are in the US. Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone in the UK. Don't know about elsewhere.

When I saw it I thought it was a takeoff on Voldemort on the back of Prof. Quirrell's head. Voldemort was a bad guy. He's basically saying that he's possessed by a an extremely evil person.

I had originally gone remote around 2009 because my kids were so out of control that I needed to be home just in case. I grew to like it so much because of the flexibility and because I got an hour and a half of my life back. Besides, pre-pandemic, 90% of the people in my division of the...

I forgot to mention in my post above that though the first part of the pandemic, they were saying that back to office would start when case rates reached "Low" or green as the CDC rated counties at the time. But then as rates reached RED they didn't change course. Moving goal posts also made me...

I believe I posted this perhaps over a year ago but I recall when my then employer started making back to the office announcements in a company meeting they used this chart. I saw it and knew that it was nonsense. I told the HR manager as much. The CDC looked at all the research but the CDC did...

My daughter does a lot of Mansplaining on phone calls.

A timely question given this story on CNN today on US Navy Arleigh Burk-class guided-missile destroyer USS Gravely that had to resort to its last line of defense Phalanx Close-In Weapon System (CIWS) to shoot down a missile that got within a mile of the ship in the Red Sea...

It's all your fault that I just spent about an hour reading about Billy Mitchell and then surfed off to read about Hap Arnold. Of course it's stuff I'm familiar with anyway being a somewhat WWII buff.

We've been watching Stargate SG1. It's actually really good.

And as a result, the US spends twice as much for worse results.
