Many years ago I added a “Photoblog” category to this blog that has a scant two entries in it, both taken with the cellular phone I had at the time, the HTC Nexus One. The quality of these two pics is… questionable. Buried somewhere in this domain’s file structure are albums that once lived in … Continue reading

Running Musings
Some 10ish years ago, I remember seeing people’s posts about “ran my first 5K!” or similar and thinking “That doesn’t seem that hard…” considering at the time I had bought a proper road bike and could easily ride the 3.1 miles without too much effort. Well, I made the decision after I realized I wasn’t … Continue reading
Future Travel Plans?
While I’ve discussed considerations regarding travel, I have not talked about actual travel destinations. I’m going to mention a few in this post. First on the list is Tybee Island, Georgia. Tybee Island is a barrier island on Georgia’s coast which used to be a 5ish hour drive from where I used to live. The … Continue reading
Future Travel Considerations, Part 4
I’ve written three posts on this subject so far, each one discussing things specifically, and I’ve decided to revisit the subject today. First off regarding charging: I have been made aware of some different charging solutions that parts of the previous entries irrelevant. The push to USB-C for most new things is excellent progress, and … Continue reading
Forthcoming Travel
I’m making a one-day trip back to Atlanta this coming weekend, so this is a chance to apply what I’ve learned. I won’t be staying in a hotel on this trip, so I’m not going to worry about packing a laptop. I am, however, going to need to carry charging cables for multiple things. It … Continue reading
Future Travel Considerations, Part 2
I touched briefly on electronics in the last post. Okay, maybe not so briefly, but I think I should do a better job of surveying what I’d be carrying and what charging I would need. Current potential devices (as of Oct 2025): – Personal laptop (Acer Swift X) – while I believe this will charge … Continue reading
Future Travel Considerations
I wrote a post on Pocket Networks yesterday about solo travel considerations related to the project chronicled on that blog, and I mentioned that actual deepdive into the actual onebag travel bit would be on this blog, so here we go. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to attain true “onebag” status where all … Continue reading
Radios, Musing, and Adjusting
In about a month, I’ll have officially held an amateur radio license for 25 years. While the requirement to join the Quarter Century Wireless Association is to be in the 25th year since the date of your first licensing. Mine was in 1999, so I was eligible January 1. At that point, I was unsure … Continue reading
Post Olympics Retrospective
Well, the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad have drawn to a close: it has been wonderful to watch as it happened, and it’s been 28 years since it took place in my hometown of Atlanta, GA, where I was able to go to the Global Olympic Village at Centennial Olympic Park during the Games. That … Continue reading
The Journey of a Lifetime
Wednesday, March 20, 2024, was my last permanent day in my company’s primary office. Thursday, March 21, 2024, was the last time I slept in the bed I’d slept in for the majority of my life. Friday, March 22, 2024, was the last time I left the house I’d lived in for 32 years. It’s … Continue reading
