Delightful Derreck

Any big plans for the weekend?

I plan to get some house stuff done! Building new shelving for our physical media collection, hanging some posters in the Retro Room, plus repairing my dad's old Dell Dimension 8250 Windows XP computer.

Why yes. I did purchase a wired, laser PS/2 computer mouse in 2026 for a Dell Dimensions 8250 Windows XP machine.

It's Groundhog Day... Again.

I love photography but don't get to it much these days. Luckily, an artist friend of mine asked for some hi-res photos of his work for posting online. It was a good excuse to see him and break out my old equipment.

I have seen nearly 100 Nicolas Cage movies! Next week, we're tackling our 93rd Nic Cage flick, The Surfer! Here's a sneak peek!

I am very tempted to order the Clicks Communicator phone. I miss my physical keyboard so much.

At my first Monster Jam! It's a great time!

Our first below freezing cook on the Traeger! 19lb bird, 300 degrees, 5 hours!

I. Am. Obsessed. #wsqk #thesquawk

Me wearing my black glasses and a hellfire beanie.

My Google home playing the WSQK station.

So, I am increasingly falling down the 80s rabbit hole. Loving the new WSQK station. Considering ditching my wardrobe for 80s styled clothing. #hellfireclub #strangerthings #80s

Me sitting on the ground, facing away from the camera. I am wearing a blue shirt and a grey Dunder Mifflin hat on backwards. I'm holding a camera up to my face. In front of me off to the left, out of focus, is a silver Toyota MR-S convertible with the top down.

Yesterday, I got back behind the camera and did a little car photoshoot with a couple friends. We each own a JDM and thought it would be fun to get some photos of them together. Here's a behind the scenes shot of me at work.

My new high score screen on Tetrix DX via my black Analog Pocket. It shows a score of 6574496 on Level 30 with 2399 lines.

I broke my Tetris record today. It was previously 5.7 million and now I cracked 6.5! Played via Tetrix DX cartridge on my Analog Pocket.

Personally, I'm stoked about this new show! My kiddo is going to love it. It's similar in style to other shows for her age bracket. I'm not going to stop watching other Star Trek with her but now she'll have one made specifically for her.

EXACTLY!

There are 3 kinds of internet:
Small internet - I can do this on my phone
Medium internet - I need a bigger screen like a tablet
Big internet - I need a full screen and keyboard, probably also a mouse

Go Birds!
