This is the sort of thing you do for fun?

Posted on November 13, 2024 by baudattitude

So, I’m fortunate enough to be married to a colossal nerd.  While we aren’t 100% into the same things, there’s definitely a crossover between our respective interests, and it means we can understand each other even in the instances where … Continue reading →

Nerd Purge 2024

Posted on November 10, 2024 by baudattitude

It’s been a year.  But not all in a bad way! I was laid off at the end of September… but it was the kind of layoff where you get a huge severance package and where “getting back to work” … Continue reading →

Sofa: So good.

Posted on August 15, 2024 by baudattitude

For a while now, my wife has been suggesting I try out an app called Sofa, which is a …collection management app? Maybe that’s not the right term.  The author calls it a “downtime organizer”, and it’s a tool to … Continue reading →

I played some more Fire Emblem

Posted on August 14, 2024 by baudattitude

I think that title is read as “Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia” but I guess it’s possible that “Echoes” goes at the end.  If I had the box it might be more clear, but I bought it off the … Continue reading →

OK, so.  This is really just a post I’m putting up so I can find it later when I’ve forgotten how to do something.  But sometimes these might be useful to people who aren’t me!  I hope, anyway. Today’s post … Continue reading →
