    If I can play all of my CDs backwards... I just doubled my music collection!

      Would you end up summoning Satan by playing them backwards, though?  Not sure you want to risk it...

      On the other hand, Nathan and Satan sounds like a somewhat cool band name.

    If you cut out enough letters from today's episode of Artie the Atari, you can spell "Garfield":

    In a tragic COVID-19-related turn of events, my barber of 15 years... moved to Utah.

    Okay... it's not all that tragic, relatively speaking. Besides, he's been planning it for years. But now I have to get a new barber.

    Although my hair looks so bad right now, I could have the neighbor kid cut it with a weed-whacker and it would only improve it.

    In the midst of everything that's going on, one of our students at the college where I work still managed to find a moment of creativity and optimism, and got to share it with the world: https://blog.calarts.edu/2020/04/02/character-animation-students-graphic-essay-published-in-the-washington-post/

     

    This is what art is for. This is why I do my job.

      My parents' anniversary is coming up.  I had their local grocery store send my dad 6 quarts of fancy ice cream and four-packs of Frostie, Sprecher's, Money Bag (never tried it), and Sioux City Root Beer.  I am jealous of his receipt of my gift this coming weekend :)

    It's brush fire season again in Southern California. Most other places in the U.S. just call it "fall".

      Evacuations are in Porter Ranch. The fires closer to Santa Clarita are isolated hot spots. The wind has died down, and is blowing away from us. I-5 is open, and it wouldn't be if the fire was threatening to jump it.

      I'm in Santa Monica, and I've been able to smell the smoke from the fires for the last two hours. This is with all of my windows closed.

    It's interesting how Spam has come to be known as a word describing something universally detestable and destined only to be discarded. And then people began using it for junk email too.

      Bacon SPAM is pretty good, as is the low-sodium version. Regular SPAM is too salty for my tastes, usually.

    It's raining, and the ceiling is leaking again. On the plus side, the rain has quieted down the bees that have taken up residence in my bathroom ceiling. #apartmentliving

    A gathering place for programmers and a resource for information about developing for the AtariVox.

      I've had one for a VERY long time, for use with the 8-bit Atari computers.  Long before they were being used on the 2600.  Never did much with it, but I'll check out the club.

    Just like Space: 1999. But 21 years later. And not on the moon.

      A few others have transportation tubes, like Logan's Run, and I think Buck Rogers, too

    3. Nathan Strum

      True - but Logan's Run and Buck Rogers still take place in "the future". So we shouldn't have already seen those yet. ;)

      I watched it.  My feelings are much the same as yours.  As long as you don't take it seriously and view it as a spoof of Star Wars, it has a few laughs.

      Glad to hear you got your second shot!  Yeah, from what I've heard of the Moderna vaccine, the second shot tends to knock people out the day after.  Not looking forward to that!  First shot was fine, just minor pain at the injection site. 

    3. Nathan Strum

      Nathan Strum

      Mine was Pfizer. I've heard Moderna kicks harder, but it really depends on the individual.

      Congrats on your full vaccination! My second Pfizer shot is April 12th and I can't wait. Other than a little soreness in my arm, I had no issues with the first shot.
