I'm a web (mostly #WordPress) developer who tries as much as possible to focus on #a11y. I work in #HigherEd.

I'm a dad of 3 grown kids and a grandfather to 2 beautiful girls.

I enjoy retro video games, but I'm not obsessive about them.

I love TV and movies, and spend a lot of time watching something. I absolutely love music.

I enjoy playing trivia, sometimes as many as 3 or 4 nights a week.

I'm a Christian, but not that kind of "Christian".

I'm a lefty, bleeding heart liberal.

There is a family of foxes living on our neighbor's property. They wander all over the area, playing in various people's yards.

While they're super cute and it's adorable to watch them play, I'm not super excited about them being so close by when our cat likes to roam around outside.

Are you absolutely kidding me? #Pinter (a homebrew beer system, kind of like SodaStream for beer) now has an exclusive #IronMaiden package with a Trooper-branded machine and an Iron Maiden "British Beer".

I am so tempted, but I honestly think it would end up getting about as much use as our SodaStream, which definitely does not make it worth the money.

We did it again! Somehow, we were able to pull off a last minute trivia victory last night at 50/50 to win our 4th game in a row. We did end up facing off against another team in a double-tiebreaker to get there, though.

Tonight, I'll be guest-hosting trivia at Winchester Brew Works. It's "Game of Thrones" themed, so come out, test your knowledge, and laugh at how badly I mess up some of the pronunciations of people, places and things related to the show.

Trivia starts at 6:30.

Well, this is exciting, and, sadly, not unexpected. #taxes2024

After we finished trivia tonight and sat down at the bar, I looked across and saw this piece of artwork. Apparently the guy who created it didn't actually even realize he'd created art out of his used paper towel, but he definitely did.

We (and by, "we", I actually mean our 2 friends, we were just there to watch them get all the answers) won Star Wars Trivia last night at Winchester Brew Works.

It's a beautiful evening tonight (actually could be a little cooler, but still nice), so we are roasting hot dogs outside over the fire with the grandkids for dinner tonight.

We finally have our first billing cycle where we generated more power from #solar than we consumed from the grid. Our electric bill this month is $6. I could get used to this.

For all this talk about AI replacing people, it is still incredibly stupid at times.

I posted on Facebook about trivia happening tonight at 7 pm, and facebook's AI suggested I create an event for tomorrow at 5 pm.
