A Barn Find

The product I support in my real job is OEM-d to two other manufacturers, and I create and maintain the training courses for them, as well as the original. For a modest fee, of course. Ever so often they ask for updates or changes. It's a living. A good one actually. So one of these … Continue reading A Barn Find →

Defensive Driving?

How about no driving? or can't drive worth a damn? Eric Peters has a great article on "Defensive Driving". But it's really about the lost art of driving properly. This hit a nerve with me, since I spent the lions share of my career travelling around. I've driven 20K-30K miles in some years. I was … Continue reading Defensive Driving? →

Apple Watch – Wrap

Back here, I reviewed an apple watch, series 1. Now that I have some time on it. I can elucidate on how it performs over time. Like those car reports where they drive the thing for a few years to say how it's been. What it's been is largely a waste of money. Let's start … Continue reading Apple Watch – Wrap →

Victorinox Chef’s knife.

I worked out in the field doing real work for nearly 30 years and I've run into two different types of trades dudes in that time. There are the guys that buy the cheapest tools they possibly can, with the reasoning that somebody's going to steal them so why bother spending any kind of dough. … Continue reading Victorinox Chef’s knife. →

Eurolux Percolator

I'm not a huge coffee drinker. Coffee and Alcohol do about the same thing to my guts. I'll go for some time with neither. Then, I'll start drinking coffee. I'll have a cup, then think all is well and I start drinking it every day. After a few weeks, my guts are sour and will … Continue reading Eurolux Percolator →

USB outlets

Every now an then you run across something that makes you think; "Holy shit! I didn't know they made these things!". You buy the thing and it turns out exactly like you thought. I had a problem. We rebuilt our kitchen, and the contractor thought "Hey, it'd be useful to have an outlet at the … Continue reading USB outlets →

Apple Watch, Series 1

I'm not an early adopter. It's not because I'm some sort of Luddite. I've seen my early adopter friends pay too much for new tech, only to have better and cheaper show up in a year or two. I had a friend that bought a Cd player when they first came out. Manual feed, one … Continue reading Apple Watch, Series 1 →

Keeping my hands busy in the cold…

It's cold outside, and I'm inside reprocessing video for e-learning lessons. This is what I do when I'm not traveling to cities to complain about. Creating the same training that I do live for web based delivery. Editing video to do this is insanely boring. More so in this case, Since I'm having to rework … Continue reading Keeping my hands busy in the cold… →
