I have now put up the release I made for modern Windows operating systems of the game GrizzlyGulch.
There's a document explaining how it works and all that kind of thing.
I've also chucked in a donate.TXT file with my PayPal link, this is completely free of course but even a couple of bucks would really help me out.

The announcement out of AwesomeCon has come.
Nathan Fillion and Crew Reunite for ‘Firefly’ Animated Series
https://www.thetvcave.com/post/firefly-animated-series-what-we-know
"Grab your brown coats and a very expensive bottle of Mudder’s Milk, because the impossible just happened. After two decades of "maybe next year" and enough fan petitions to paper the entire Verse, Nathan Fillion has finally stopped teasing us on Instagram and dropped the big one: a Firefly animated series is officially in advanced development."
The series takes place between the original TV series and Serenity, the film.

Friend left behind on twitter Battlefield
This post of yours really hit home.
I have an internet friend who was Left behind on twitter because he wasn't ready to move (WTF why)
I've been congratulating him on important anniversaries of his, through the internet for years like an Atomic Clock
It's the 4th or the 5th Year that I couldn't do it, because I refuse to re-open my Twitter accounts to see the battlefield, the horrific nukes of War, the destruction that Elon and his cohorts created.
I miss talking to him
He's a good man, a successful Bounty Hunter by Day, a great pappa at Night

Gemini just helped me solve a mystery that’s been plaguing me for years! 🛸
I’ve had this distinct, very early memory of a TV show I watched as a kid, but for ages, I couldn't find it. No search engine, database, or social media group could crack the code.
I finally decided to try a simple prompt with AI...
My dad's chemistry lab had an electromechanical adding machine that was very loud. He showed us how it worked. It could do long division, with gears flying and the carriage moving automatically back and forth - amazing.
One day we came in and decided to see what would happen if we were to divide by zero. The machine loudly churned away, as we got more and more terrified. It wouldn't stop.
Finally, dad came in yelling at us terrified kids, and pulled the plug to make it stop.
For those with #Nostalgia feelings I introduce you to a content creator doing a deep dive into the band that was their whole world.
Kids today are just ... rude.

Chat with young whipper-snapper on the No Man's Sky Discord
Feb. 16, 1978 -- forty eight years ago today -- the first public dial-up bulletin board system went online.
Wired: "1978: Ward Christensen and Randy Suess launch the first public dialup bulletin board system. The two unleash the kernel of what would eventually spawn the world wide web, countless online messaging systems..."
https://www.wired.com/2010/02/0216cbbs-first-bbs-bulletin-board/
I got my first modem in the summer of 1986, a Prometheus ProModem 1200A (modem on a card) for the Apple II. The first BBS I logged in to was OxGate, an RBBS/RCPM system the phone number of which I still can remember (my earliest BBS software -- firmware-based on that modem card -- had no phone book). I used BBSs avidly until sometime in 1994, when I subscribed to a local ISP's (Widomaker of Williamsburg, VA) dial-up modem-based PPP service that brought TCP/IP to my 486 PC with Windows 3.1. I could then browse the web from home, and that was basically the end of BBSing for me -- for the moment, anyway.
For those interested in experiencing this early form of online community, there are many BBSs online right now, accessible via telnet on systems old and new. I've enjoyed getting back into BBSing this way, especially when using vintage systems to login.
Most any computer can do it, today. Tips on how: https://bytecellar.com/bbsing

I checked to see if point and shoot cameras were still a thing so my photos never have a chance to touch the cloud.
Quality cameras phones killed that segment. An iPhone 7 takes better pictures than my 11 year old mid-tier Canon.
Gen Z has some fascination with "old" cameras so I could probably sell all mine and pick up a nice Canon Rebel.

I never thought I'd be nostalgic for the twentieth century, but increasingly the years 1945-2000 seem like a golden age. A literate & well-informed populace, alliances that kept the great powers from war, some of the greatest films & music ever made. We have lost so much.

Good morning. 🍁🍁🍁
29 December 2025
The earworm for today is Be My Baby by the Ronettes — whoa‑oh‑oh‑oh indeed.
When it comes to music, I’m pretty much rooted in the past. Mostly the ’60s and ’70s, with the occasional reach into the ’80s and ’90s. Music from the 21st century… not so much. Honestly, I’m not sure I could name a single tune from this century, though there might be one or two hiding somewhere in the back of my mind.
Modern music feels so visual now. People latch onto a song because they first saw it in some eye‑popping music video. Back in the day, it was just the radio waves. A song caught your ear, and if you liked it enough, you headed to the record store to buy a vinyl record — or in the ’70s, maybe an eight‑track tape. I had one of those eight‑track players flopping around under the dash of my 1950 Chevy truck.
Imagine being a musician then, selling yourself sight unseen over the radio with nothing but melody and lyrics. Those musicians were good. I’m not knocking contemporary music at all — I’m sure that fifty years from now, someone will be stuck in the 2020s the way I’m stuck in the ’60s.
I still remember the first “grown‑up” song that grabbed my attention. It was 1962, and I had just turned ten. My brother and I both got transistor radios for Christmas, and Sherry by the Four Seasons hooked me right away. Hmm… I wonder whatever happened to that old transistor radio.
“One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.” — Bob Marley
“Before MTV, you heard the song before you ever saw the face.” — Billy Joel
“All I had was a voice and a microphone.” — Aretha Franklin

Autumn Unfurled
"A dense cluster of autumn maple leaves fills the frame like a ceremonial tapestry. The leaves blaze in vibrant shades of red, orange, and golden yellow, each one a flame caught mid-flicker. Their edges are jagged and lobed, like open hands reaching outward, some curled slightly with age, others crisp and flat like pressed parchment.
Natural light spills across the foliage, illuminating the intricate vein patterns that run like rivers through each leaf — delicate tributaries etched in amber and rust. The colors are layered and overlapping, creating a mosaic of warmth and motion, as if the forest floor had risen to speak.
The background is a deep, velvety black, making the leaves appear to glow from within. This contrast sharpens the drama — the leaves do not merely rest, they radiate, suspended in a moment of seasonal transformation. There is no wind, no blur — only stillness and clarity, as if time paused to honor the shedding.
In the bottom right corner, a quiet signature reads “© Swede’s Photographs,” a respectful nod to the witness who captured this sovereign act of release." - Microsoft Copilot

Not last night, but the night before
24 robbers came knocking at the door.
I ran out, they ran in
I asked them what they wanted
And this is what they said:

Spanish dancers, touch the ground
Spanish dancers, get out of town!

his humorous vintage postcard features the comic-strip character Garfield, created by Jim Davis, in a classic late-1970s/early-1980s illustration style. Garfield sits slumped beside an airport baggage carousel, looking bored and frustrated while a sign points toward “COMPLAINTS.” The postcard plays on the familiar travel mishap of lost luggage, with the caption “Wish You Were Here… Wish My Luggage Were Here Too.” Licensed by United Feature Syndicate, the card reflects the era’s popularity of using well-known cartoon characters for travel and novelty postcards, often sold in airports, gift shops, and tourist destinations.

Week 2: #nostalgia music
in 2002, i started an electrical engineering program at uw madison and i was not having an easy time with it. before i left minnesota, a friend suggested that i get a hold of their friend that lived in madison. i was busy with school and work so it never worked out during the semester. i went back to minnesota to visit my parents for christmas and me and this guy (and a couple of other people) hung out drinking all night listening to black metal. ----btw, this is the guy who wore a cradle of filth "jesus is a cunt" shirt into a dennys at 8pm in suburban minneapolis ---- we started chatting via IM a lot after both getting back to madison, and he invited me over to hang out at his apartment with his ex-girlfriend on new years eve. we decided to watch full metal jacket ----what an odd choice ----and then he wanted to play me this song.
we had a very tumultuous and confusing relationship that lasted on and off for about a decade. i dont usually get hung up on someone for *that* long which was a first for me, and with this person i had a lot of firsts.
i couldn't listen to this song for a long time and now it's just a good song.
I know retro nostalgia follows a certain generational pattern; so it'll be a few more years before the early '00s are appreciated / imitated as a distinct era in fashion and pop culture.
Anyway here are the Black Eyed Peas and Christina Aguilera taking a moment to sum up 2003 for posterity.
