  • Get more sleep, exercise on the regular and stop eating sugar.

    I still don’t get enough sleep, but I am at least getting more than I used to (~7hrs). I exercise regularly, but it isn’t as rigorous as some. Just doing something helps heaps. Cutting out sugar evened out my energy swings a bunch. I also lost a chunk of weight quickly when I did so.

    I am no healthologist, but doing the above (and maybe eating better if you are inclined) should get you to feeling better. Worth a shot, no?








  • Well, that rule has been mostly tongue in cheek as you are probably aware, but perhaps Usenet will once again become useful to more folks. I have never veered away from it since I discovered it in the late 90’s. I suppose that makes me a part of the ES group? I’m quite glad to have discovered it. You do now have to pay to use it, but the cost is mild and the tools are all modernized with plenty of web front-ends out there.

  • I remember an article not long ago about a songbird that “riffs” within its song. Something like a jazz musician might. I’m fuzzy on the details, but this was stated as a sign of intelligence. The theory is that neural density might be variable based on the species…or something. Basically even that a bird brain can be intelligent and capable of some level of free thinking. We all know about crows and their street smarts too.


  • The Castle - 1997 An Australian film. Very nice comedy. Wholesome and funny.

    Earth Abides - 2024 Two episodes into this post-apocalypse series. I dislike the lead as he is terribly plain and boring and the writing is contrived and poor. I am a sucker for the concept so I’ll plow onward.

    Silo - 2024 All caught up with this one. It’s a much more enjoyable experience with the aforementioned genre. Better everything.

    Landman - 2024 Current on this series. BBT is the draw on this one. Jon Hamm is good too, but it’s pretty thin after that. Taylor Sheridan must have too many irons in the fire as the effort seems meager. Nothing like the early Yellowstone episodes. Oh well. It’s kinda fun in a train wreck sort of way.
