The Succulent Pseudo-Green House Experiment:
I have a patch of mixed succulents next to the steps out front that has been there for three years now – this is the third winter it’s survived. The first winter, most of it was killed off and I had to replace it. The second winter, I took samples of each type of succulent…

Artistic Rendering of the Death Star Trench Run With 80,000 Lego Bricks
This is a fine piece of work. I like the exterior cut out. Though I suspect that none of the personal would be gathered, eating chicken legs during an all-out attack from the Rebel Alliance. If they were, they probably regretted it in the afterlife. I also noticed at least one Easter Egg (Mickey Mouse)….

Prayer and Manifesting
I am not now and never have been a fan of Jim Carrey. His comedic performances are just not my type of humor. He was good in the Truman show, but that’s my only note for him. However, this is a very interesting statement. Especially if it’s how he’s lived his life, as he claims.

The Kind of a Song That Makes me Want to Pray Just to Thank God for Making a Universe Full of Beautiful Things
I have no idea where I heard this song originally, but I was hearing the rhythm to it in my head all day yesterday. I could hear the tones of the female vocals, but I just could not get what she was actually saying. Without something solid like that, I hadn’t a prayer of finding…

More Like Welcome to the Well-Maintained Park
Some cover band covered the entirety of the first Guns and Roses album in the style of 1950s “rock and roll”. It’s…. different. It’s not quite as kitschy version of “Welcome to the Jungle” the band was playing in the bar in the movie “Swingers”, but it’s definitely different. It’s a little less “Welcome to…

Trump is Going to Cancel the Minting of Pennies. Awesome!
I’ve thought we should get rid of pennies for like 30 years, but I never thought anyone would do it. And that was before I knew that it cost almost the cents to mint every penny. This article (and Trump’s statement simply says that the cost is “more than 2 cents” to mint a penny,…

Delaware’s Government Ruined by the Actions of a Single, Girl Boss, Activist, Judge
The consequences of a single questionable decision by a single judge is essentially going to ruin Delaware’s economy. I knew that a judge had blocked Elon Musk’s pay package from Tesla even though the share holders voted on it beforehand. It was blocked based on a law firm finding a shareholder with nine shares (out…

Luke Skywalker, Pinnacle Jedi-ness?
This is an interesting character sketch of Luke Skywalker. I haven’t really taken to much of the Star Wars material that has come out lately. I loved the movies as a child. Then there were some books. The original trilogy from Timothy Zahn – which was the origin of some fantastic characters like Grand Admiral…

Triumphant Return
The new Triumph Spitfires look pretty cool. I guess they’ve had 45 years to work on the design since they stopped making them so if it didn’t look good, it’d be pretty shameful. I’m not going to post any links or photos. They’re easy to find and I don’t want to pick an example.
