I've been in network security in a past life. There's a balance between complexity (such as passwords) and irritation (like auto locking the desktop). Crank down too hard, and humans start thwarting your efforts. For instance, make the password parameters too tough, and your workers will write it on a sticky, or under their keyboard. … Continue reading Done Tom Turkey

Upping My Game
IPhones have great cameras these days. But I find that when I want to catch a good shot, I run into their limitations. For instance, if you zoom in, the resolution suffers. This is sort of a big deal, since when I try to take images of the dogs, or even birds around here, they … Continue reading Upping My Game
Boot Update
When I walk the dogs, or do any walking, in the cool air, I prefer boots. Matter of fact, I'll wear boots most of the year, except when it's hot. I had a pair of Irish Setter work boots that I loved, that they no longer make. These are 83603 work boots. I prefer the … Continue reading Boot Update
My Cross to Carry…

Not a Fan
There's a guy at my Church that does physical/occupational therapy that holds sessions every week as a ministry. Several of my friends (older ones) go to these. One, in particular, always wore the same type of Nikes I used to buy. As a testament to their declining quality, you could hear him coming from across … Continue reading Not a Fan
I Need Me a Towrolla
Lately, in my head is the idea to build a tow-rolla: Found on Puddin's Fab Shop, on the youtubes. https://youtu.be/aQpoBhPrIGw?si=8KTY5Rx51ox0Hmkq Damn those cars are tough. He's been pulling and pushing cars with it like a tractor. The ATF? Looking Ok. almost normal. Did you read that famous Craigslist ad? Let me tell you a story. … Continue reading I Need Me a Towrolla
Movie Plots
I read this post awhile ago about the seven basic movie plots, but didn't think about it until I'd seen a number of movies, all about the same thing. Once is nothing. Twice is interesting. Three times is a pattern. That's my rainman skill. I notice patterns. Turns out, I read it on Wilder's site. … Continue reading Movie Plots
Bible Study
I stumbled upon a cool bible study. Somewhere along the line, I got hooked into Dry Creek Wrangler school. Duane there has a great voice, and while working with horses is interesting, he'd do other vidyas where he'd take lessons from riding and apply them to life. Like this: https://youtu.be/7Aqw2NWNWro?si=BlmKWoRSMUH-3KKt He did a couple on … Continue reading Bible Study
Earworm
What makes you play Linkin Park over and over like a mental patient? https://youtu.be/tYjNupUBEP0?si=aJULElswTLdhlwst Telling me to goBut hands beg me to stayYour lips say that you loveYour eyes say that you hate There's truth in your lies, doubt in your faithWhat you build, you lay to wasteThere's truth in your lies, doubt in your … Continue reading Earworm
Daddy has a new pair of shoes
My daughter and son-in-law are hooked into some crazy auction sites. They pick up stuff, all sorts of stuff, stupidly cheap and resell it. Kind of a hobby. I was over the other day, and they gave me a pair of biking shoes. One of like eighty they picked up. Since I have mutant wide … Continue reading Daddy has a new pair of shoes
