Truth can be stranger than fiction, no?

We have an interim place to live!

Best advice? That would be an old Estonian proverb…

Daily writing promptWhat's the best piece of advice you've ever received?View all responses I know that I have had some harsh things to say about my father, Rein Neem.

My Chromebook is well-travelled (in the USA)…

However, it won’t properly log onto guest networks at Holiday Inn nor Hilton properties. Here in Dayton Ohio, I had a CAT5 cable provided by the kitchenette. No joy. My guest credentials are denied. Unfortunately, I disagree with HowToGeek’s assessment (link). https://www.howtogeek.com/659499/traveling-bring-a-chromebook-theyre-encrypted/ My opinion: Leave your Chromebook at home.

47 dollars US to access the Shedd Aquarium?! No thanks.

I love my aquariums, I cannot justify $47 US each… just to walk around the general aquarium itself. And the admission changes based on demand. So this is the minimum, … Continue reading 47 dollars US to access the Shedd Aquarium?! No thanks.

I’d like to share a few of my favourite content providers (from YouTube and Patreon)…

https://youtu.be/8UpsbyHL3GI?si=YGrMwScOIJVogTFq This narrator's Patreon account can be found here (link). For a measly $1USD/story, I get a whole metric f&&k-ton of additional content. The narrator's voice (or at least his recording gear) makes him sound an awful lot like a British actor who co-stared in one of my favourite remakes of Sherlock Holmes stories... and … Continue reading I’d like to share a few of my favourite content providers (from YouTube and Patreon)…
