  • Our Thanksgiving prime rib was over-done. We’ve been a bit slow lately, and so I’ve had to take more vacation time. Or, sit at my desk and do nothing. We don’t get as much free company apparel as my last job. There, we got Carhartts, Nike quarter zips, Weatherproof jackets, coolers… that was pretty nice.

    Oh, and the main thing is the customers. I wish the program managers could do all the interacting with them so I would never have to talk to them.







  • Oh no, my PKCell!

    Kent Survival is another relaxing, casual camping channel. Not quite like Steve.

    Budget Builds kind of inspired me to fix up this Dell Precision 690 I rescued from the trash.

    Polymatt’s video on LGR’s laptop was positively incredible. So good. So impressive.

    Ever watch Brick Immortar? Mostly maritime tragedies, and much more dry than plainly difficult. But I kind of feel they are in the same sphere. I fall asleep to them sometimes.

    Man, Usagi Electric’s homebrew project is insane.

    I could go on and on. So few people I know are interested in this stuff.

    Big Old Boats? Hyce? How about Atomic Shrimp? I’m interested in other channels we might share.





  • Battlezone II had force shields. They used your vehicle’s weapon energy. The shields used energy, and also taking hits would drain your energy. You needed a ship with fast energy regen to make the most use out of them. One ship from the X-Mod mod, the Jade Falcon, could actually regenerate faster than the shields drained. So you could keep them on all the time, and still shoot some. It wasn’t invincible by any means, but that regen speed plus the fact that the radar ping twice as frequently made it my absolute favorite ship.
