Just Posting Something That Was In Draft… Again

broderic on August 30, 2017

The following should’ve been a Link of the Day at the end of July. It’s what I was going to post while drinking one of those lagers, but iPad Pro kind of sucks at blogger’s web interface. Plus I was also drunk at the time…

Link of the Day [7.28.17]

“This Tampa-style Lager is inspired by the traditional German-style Helles, which translates to “light colored.” Perfect for the Florida heat, it’s a beer that’s made for drinkin’ when it’s truly hotter than helles outside.”

Found this in my Notpad on Yahoo. I don’t know if I’ve posted this before. Anyone want to check?

I need to learn to cook. I saw Racheal Ray do this barbecued succotash which I have a few of the ingredients already in my cupboard. She’s one of my favorites. Thirty minute meals! She makes it look so easy that I can delude myself into thinking that I could make some of her recipes.

I also love watching Good Eats. Alton Brown is kind of a nerdy chef who treats cooking liking writing a program. He makes things so scientific that it makes me want to cook.

Actually, I rarely have the chance to cook. Keep stopping by mom’s. I need to learn to cook, so that when I get a girlfriend, I can cook for her.

UPDATE: Yes.

“Hunh, those guys are a bunch of fags!”

Need to publish this for the upcoming election. It’s another half-hearted draft. I don’t know where it was going, but enjoy!

Dave Neiwart sums up my problems with the consertive side of the political spectrum embodied by the modern Republican party.

The Union label

This is a post from around June 2005 which I never posted either because it is incomplete or I forgot. Or maybe I got bloggered and was unable to post but never came back to it. Anywhoo enjoy!

BoingBoing points out a Wired article about game coders wanting to support the voice actors in there quest for royalties from recording vocals for games only if they can get a slice of the profits too. I say fooey on them.

The main thing about the actors is that they have a union to back them up. They have the clout with many other unions to help them in on this. What does the game coder have?

Maybe if game coders would think about unionizing they may have some leverage to ask for royalties as well. But if they keep the “To each his own” philosophy then, screw ’em.

Now, I am not saying that they don’t deserve any royalties. As a programmer/software engineer myself I support getting paid. They do the most amazing work and don’t get credit for it. But what gets me is the libertarian like politics that pervade the software industry.
