I have a Qi charging phone holder in my car. It’s wonderful to be able to just put the phone on it and not have to plug it in.

I have one for my desk at work too, but found myself just plugging it in anyway because a cable charges faster and more efficiently. With a Qi charger there’s waste heat.

I’m a pro-case type.…

Can You Keep A Secret?

Isn’t that nice.

Same here. I used to get so frustrated with self-help / meditation type stuff where you’re supposed to visualize something. I have an active imagination, but in a normal mental state (such as what I’m in when I am trying to picture something and get into a more relaxed or weird state) I just can’t see images without…

I’m an introvert. I’m also shy, socially anxious in fact. I am uncomfortable with small talk and even random greetings from people I don’t know. But I try to be polite — in terms of not being selfish and aggressive and dominant — in social settings and driving and even walking. I tend to be quiet, unless I’m really…

I got a rock.

You’re lucky with the delays then. Flying Delta from St. Louis to Bangor with two stops, we were delayed three times for a total of ten hours. In every case, it was technical problems with the aircraft. (One of the planes had a dead APU, and the pilot refused to fly it because a metal tube with no air conditioning in…

I like Spidey as a character, but honestly I don’t see him as a connector.

I really wonder what the public knows and thinks about SHIELD post-Sokovia. Between Winter Soldier and Ultron, SHIELD was considered a rogue organization, everybody thought Coulson was dead (except Fury and Hill, who kept his resurrection secret…

These are pretty great earbuds. I have a pair at work and ordered a second from iTechDeals through Woot two weeks ago. It took them 7 days to even have any shipping info, and another 6 days for it to be tracked at their local DHL facility. No idea when it’ll actually arrive. I’ve been so spoiled by Amazon Prime...

This map brings back memories. The game studio I used to work for did the occasional LAN game. I think we played the original version of this map approximately one time, and I haven’t played CS in any form since.

We got a lot more mileage out of HL1 deathmatch, StarCraft, Diablo 2, Rogue Spear, and TF2.

This is reminding me to replace the downstairs bathroom fan. It makes a horrible grinding noise and doesn’t move air. I’m pretty much stuck with the existing ductwork though I assume, since it’s between floors.

Band name!

and those stupid ear gauges too.

The quadcopters I have require considerable practice and skill. They don’t hold themselves stationary at all, just sort-of-level-ish.
