Email is the devil
Just sayin’… People disbelieve me when I say I deal with a lot of email. Glancing over at my email box, the number on Mail was just too funny to resist. … Continue reading →

Grinding: Diablo 3, Knitting, Writing… LIFE
Problem: Not Enough Noro means I have to use a fill-in yarn SOLVED: On November 3rd, I finished my Stained Glass Sweater, a project I’d been working on in small pieces since August 18th. Problem: About two weeks ago (late in the actual season), I discovered that the Diablo 3 season had something I wanted. A Disembodied Hand pet. SOLVED: Sunday night,I got my Disembodied … Continue reading →
Poisoned Apple: After the Love Is Gone
I loved Apple computers for a long time. Frankly, I still love the two I have: A late 2013 iMac, and an even older MacBook Pro. But Apple has definitely been embracing the Dark Side since Steve Jobs died, and its walled garden, along with its pressure to push users into the Apple store and to make getting software from … Continue reading →
Two Sticks and Some String, and a Cat: Building Becca’s Noro Sweater
In May, my daughter Becky bought me Noro yarn for Mother’s Day. Gorgeous stuff, pure wool, the kind of yarn where you open the bag, shove your face against the yarn, inhale, and sigh with happiness. But it had to sit there for a while, because… Well, LIFE first, and then with yarn, you have to get to know it … Continue reading →
Fung, Keto, Before and After Pics
Just a couple of pictures of me, one taken in June of 2007, when I was 46, and one taken of me today, at 57. I’m in about the same pose, and wearing the same sweater, which I knitted back in 2007. The sweater is in the picture because this is the ONLY picture I have of me back then, … Continue reading →
Fung Fasting Report #5: The Breakthrough Month
This was the month in which I broke through my 3-days fasting block. Went four days easily and comfortably on just water, coffee, and a daily multivitamin, and I think I could have done five, but we had a roast that needed to be cooked and eaten before it went bad. I fasted yesterday just because I felt like it, … Continue reading →
No Man’s Sky: They Nailed It!
In spite of everything (and there’s a lot of “everything” going on right now), I took the entire day off yesterday to play a video game. Not just any video game, though. The one for which I went out and bought a Playstation several years ago, and the one for which I dug out my X-Box and bought a NEW … Continue reading →
The demons that drive writers
There are folks who want to write books. Then there are those of us who write because drinking kills your liver (and killed most of our relatives) and therapy is too fucking expensive. You think I jest (and to a certain extent, I do). But there is something that drives people to turn themselves inside out, to rip every event … Continue reading →
The Fung Fasting Report #4: More success
After the “Failed to drink enough water, felt like crap” fast last month, this month I decided to skip any extended fasting. I have held to: ONE ketogenic meal a day, NO snacks. We had a family holiday in the month over at my inlaws’ place (combined birthday and Father’s Day) so there one day of eating utterly NON-keto food. … Continue reading →
