Friday Fun Link – The Jeopardy Archive

Music Monday – “Oh help me Jesus/Come through this storm/I had to lose her/To do her harm”

Shea and I are now onto “Peaky Blinders” for our latest must-watch TV series (what’s the opposite of binging where you watch one or two episodes a night, slowly, over time?) and part of the appeal is a kick-ass soundtrack… “Down By The Water” – PJ Harvey

Friday Fun Link – Second

Reddit has long released some unique site or game or feature, often tied to group psychology, on April Fool’s Day. This year was no exception as they released “Second” which is a seemingly simple game where you vote for one of three pictures (maybe three different popular video games or celebrities or products or even, […]

Throwback Thursday – MacBook Pro (November 2012)

  I’m not 100% sure but I think this is a picture of the box when I bought my last laptop, a MacBook Pro, sometime in 2012? I’ve had a few maintenance things over the years – I think I replaced the hard drive, added memory going from 4 to 8GB, bought a new power […]
