Some people call it a “backlog”.

Keanu Reeves spent years trying to get away from the “himbo” typecasting of Ted “Theodore” Logan. He clearly didn’t want to revive that. But I think it would have made a much better film if he had.

Do I need them? No, I’ve gotten along without them for 20+ years. Would I try making ISO copies, if I had the means to transfer the data? Yes, because storage space is cheap.

If you find a 5.25 drive with a USB connector, please post the link.  I’ve looked in a lot of places and not found such a beast.

In the back of my closet, I found an old box full of 5.25 floppies. I thought I had an old drive laying around; but it must have gone by the wayside a couple moves ago. My old HTPC has an FDD connector on the motherboard, but finding a working 5.25 drive on a budget is well-nigh impossible. 

I am frequently unable to view the comments under slideshow articles. It’s like Kinja refuses to extend the page downward to allow the comments to become visible.

If you’re one of those people who loves them some annual Sega Footy Manager, then you’ve had a decent hockey game in Eastside Hockey Manager.

I want ports!

I will fire up Twitch and watch Morbius...

One of my home’s previous owners spent the money to run coax into every room. I took advantage of that, using a pair of MoCA modems to move my router from the entry point (under the stairs) to the living room. Wifi access was much improved; I can also use the wired ethernet ports now to support the HTPC and gaming PC.

That’s one O!

I also ordered the 64GB model, after (a) hearing that the SD card’s read speed was just fine, and (2) seeing everybody and their brother talking about how they were going to order the 512GB versions.  Got it a while ago, and I’m just flat-out loving it.

That’s a Chicago dog. My wife loves them.

Is there a shortage of electrons now? Does it have to be one game or the other? I’ve been sick this week and haven’t kept up on the news.

“Pivot to video” was the wool Zuckerberg pulled over Herb Spamfolder’s eyes.

They have horseradish mustard packets available in the restaurants. I cannot put into words how much horsey mustard enhances the flavor profile. Should work for the frozen burgers too.

Careful.  You put that much corruption out on a pitch, it’s liable to bring a cease-and-desist from the IOC.

I never thought THQ Nordic would stoop this low. 

The toupee helps a lot too.

I was certain this article was going to be about him wondering whether Arya and Sansa ever got the hobbits to Mordor.
