Christmas Decorating Update

It’s going really well. I opened a box labeled decorations and found a number of generic, non-Christmas decorations. Pretty great! 

I still haven’t opened all the boxes from my move in May. The reason is that I only take out what I need. If in May 2025 there are still sealed boxes, they can safely be thrown out. What’s inside wasn’t important enough to remember! 

I have a vast Christmas playlist but the best album on there has to be Swedish singer Tommy Körberg. So good. First listen of the season today!!






I Love these AI Videos

I love this use of AI way too much. I am not sure if this is a corrupted use of AI or one that doesn’t give credit to the right people, but it cracks me up every time.


I was using AI images quite a bit in my posts but I’ve just switched to Unsplash these days. It will be hard to give up the AI art. 


Somehow the sequences in these videos are predictable and unpredictable at once. Things morph into other things that make no sense with a very acceptable and predictable fluidity.


Gamestop has lost its mind

Gamestop what is wrong? Who hurt you? 

This classic duo was kn the sale rack for $38. I cant imagine why it is still available. Who wouldn't want the useless professor and the evil French archaeologist together on display, the true emblems of the Indiana Jones franchise. If this was 15 dollars i would have bought it though for sure. What a weird combo. 

This is not the philosopher but i wish it was. I learned since i took this photo that this is an anime character but still i wouldn't be off base for thinking there were some strange philosophy pop figures. I also found this in the bargain bin, big surprise! 

I remember when GameStop sold games and wasn't a pops clearinghouse but they must sell a lot of these things. 

Thanksgiving Time-Lapse

I am obsessed with making time-lapses of parties and other events. I don’t think about doing it other times for some reason. Here’s my most recent of Thanksgiving dinner!

I shot this on a GoPro 9 which died immediately after creating this last masterpiece. I think that a summer of being in the pool and the salt water for a month or two was too much even though I cleaned it with tap water every time. The touchscreen is what failed, but I got a replacement coming to me in a couple of weeks for $100 from the subscriber replacement service.

I also got a GoPro 13 coming via black Friday deals! I looked at a ton of vlogging cameras and in the end I just find the GoPro has everything I need and it’s small and it is easy to use. I am just not suited for a crazy vlog camera.
