I love my governor!

Brave Sir Robin ran away.

Bravely ran away away.

When danger reared it's ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled.

Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about
And gallantly he chickened out.

Swiftly taking to his feet,
He beat a very brave retreat.

Bravest of the braaaave, Sir Robin!

It's great that Kristi Noem is out at DHS, but Markwayne Mullin is also dumb as a rock.

If Trump wants Zelenskyy’s help against drones, I think JD Vance to have to fly to Kiev, and sit in the Ukrainian equivalent of the Oval Office and say, “Thank you.”

Watching Airwolf, from 1984

Raskin tears Kristi Noem a new one: "Apparently when your blankie was left on one of the govt jets and not transported to the new one, your special govt employee, Corey Lewandowski, chivalrously stepped forward to fight the pilot -- mid air!"

OMG. Lauren Boebert is such an ignorant, foolish idiot. She is the Dunning-Kruger effect personified.

What’s plug-in solar? Colorado legislators promote a bill to help eager consumers find out. Colorado is joining dozens of states clearing the way for portable, affordable plug-in solar panels for the home.

I know someone out in the Pacific Northwest who has one of these systems. They love it. Could be coming soon to a state near you .... What’s plug-in solar? Colorado legislators promote a bill to help eager consumers find out.  coloradosun.com/2026/02/26/p...

One sad sign of getting older is when you feel the need to make your mouse pointer larger so you can see it easier...

The State of Distraction Trump's desperation goes deeper.

"He’s hoping tonight will be the greatest show he’s ever put on, and the only audience in his mind are his base. This will be a love letter to them. This will be a grand romantic gesture to MAGA. Please don’t abandon me."

Finished building a new PC for a friend of mine.

Even if Elmo wasn't a fascist, a white supremacist, and the worst of the oligarchs (by far), nobody would want one of these fugly Cybertrucks.

Not even a stripped-down "affordable" model.

Not to mention that anyone who has or wants a CT knows exactly what Elmo stands for...

YouTube video by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Why Everyone's Talking About Stephen Colbert, CBS, The FCC And James Talarico

If you have been following the clumsy — no, pathetic — attempt by CBS lawyers to collaborate with the FCC in reviving the pointless "equal time" rule, using Stephen Colbert and his show as their playground... then watch him explain it from his POV.

Fascinating. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQIl...

You can already see some of the impact in the consumer PC market, with the huge increase in RAM and NAND storage prices.

Micro Center Denver was pretty empty last Saturday, with a lot of semi-desperate salespeople. I was approached ten times to see if "I needed help"...

Wharfdale Lintons

Doing a test hookup of the new Wharfdale Lintons out in the garage.

A Yamaha R-N1000A is going to drive them. They will be in the living room, once a new TV stand shows up next week.

Unboxed a pair of Wharfdale Lintons that were bundled with matching speaker stands.

I can't wait to get them hooked up!

What a bunch of clowns in the Trump regime!

This is what you get when you choose inexperienced, unqualified toadies and sycophants as Cabinet members, who then bring in their own political people to run day-to-day operations.

Massie: "Here is an email that was sent by the victims' lawyers to the DOJ. It was a list of names not to release. What did the DOJ do with this email? They released it! Literally the worst thing you could do the survivors you did."

Selling vintage CD players on eBay is a losing proposition.

All a buyer has to do is claim something is wrong with it (with no evidence) and I will end up having to give them a full refund.

Too bad, so sad...

What is really sad is how triggered MAGA is about the Bad Bunny halftime show (which was an awesome performance).

i just saw someone say "Kid Rock makes music for the people who have tattoos of their kids but not custody" and hol up i need a minute

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Some RATM for a Friday night, with a guest appearance from my Dachshund, Chorizo.

Chorizo is not impressed...

Andouille (aka Andie) is recharging in the sun.

I'm on my 3rd EV. I think V2G from EVs is a great idea, but most utility companies in the U.S. are dragging their feet about it (along with many car manufacturers).

Using EV and house batteries for virtual power plants is what we want. Its more common in Europe.

The technical problem with that idea is that many police and sheriff departments have digital, encrypted communications systems now (and have had them for a while).

The old school "police scanners" from TV and movies don't work for that anymore.

Apoquel really helped our miniature dachshund with that problem (and overall itching). It is a little pricey but made a big difference.

We still use Nose Butter in the winter too.
