My Weekend
Our power went out Saturday evening around 6:30 and didn’t come back on until around 8pm Sunday. Electric company told us it would be back on by 10pm Saturday, so we waited and made sure not to open the fridge. 10pm came and went. Ultimately, it was our fault we lost everything in the fridge, instead of rushing out to buy 10 bags of ice and coolers. The plus side is, the fridge was...

Comic Sans + Teachers = Danger
The first activity in my ed tech textbook is to make a flyer. The heading font is Comic Sans, one of the most ill-abused fonts in education ever. Do people not realize the wealth of beautiful fonts we now have available? And freely available at that. I shall follow the assignment guidelines, but also submit a more beautiful version. Comic Sans. Fuck.

She worked what jobs she could on a high school diploma, and my step-father (also with only a high school diploma) worked in the steel mills of Northern Indiana. A unionized position that saw many...

Scary
I have a roll of 35mm film from the 90s that I’ve yet to develop. I’m afraid of what might be on it. Assuming the film hasn’t been compromised and/or degraded in the last decade.
