Periodically Updated Webtronically Enabled Personalized E-Diary : An attempt at humour, every week. Thursday, November 01, 2012. I had put away game making for few months. Not on purpose, my IDE (code editor) was always ready to boot up, taunting me with its colour coded goodness, hilarious refactoring (refactoring is when you rewrite bits of your code to be easier to read, and simpler) bugs, and hipsterish colour themes. This is the general rule of thumb I use. ( This. I get myself going again by breaki...

Periodically Updated Webtronically Enabled Personalized E-Diary : An attempt at humour, every week. Monday, April 28, 2014. Car maintenance was not a well-covered subject. I can still remember my dad showing me that when the oil was low, you just add another quart. It's quite alright, feel free to recoil visibly from the screen. It wasn't until I had my own car that I learned about things like timing belts and oil changes and all sorts of filters. So now, of course, I get regular oil changes. That whole ...

Periodically.org: Oregon Coast - Part 4 : Rides
http://theniteowl.blogspot.com/2014/09/oregon-coast-part-4-rides.html
Periodically Updated Webtronically Enabled Personalized E-Diary : An attempt at humour, every week. Saturday, September 06, 2014. Oregon Coast - Part 4 : Rides. There were bumper cars though. A ride I always preferred in my youth, favouring a ride in which I had some say in the matter notwithstanding the 22 year old 11th grader who seemed expert in all things mildly violent (a detail that was infuriating to kid-me, and not tragically sad to adult-me). Owl Jr was of the same opinion. In the other bumper c...

Periodically Updated Webtronically Enabled Personalized E-Diary : An attempt at humour, every week. Thursday, September 18, 2014. Oregon Coast - Part 5 : Ecola Park. Our last day there we went to Ecola State park, which while also sounding vaguely like a non-lethal intestinal bug was apparently the place we went last time to take our family photo. It's high up over the beach and quite pretty. Wheeling gulls and ocean-wind swept vistas and the like. The pictures were taken, with more squint than was desir...

Periodically Updated Webtronically Enabled Personalized E-Diary : An attempt at humour, every week. Sunday, February 17, 2013. One of the things we forget as we get older, is how terrifying childhood is. Or at the very least, reasonably uncomfortable. Case in point, lessons, about anything: swimming, reading, soccer, or in this case, ice skating. Links to this post. Saturday, February 09, 2013. Owl Jr. is still very much into Thomas the Tank Engine. Periodically he'll ask me to read him the toy c...It's ...

Periodically.org: Oregon Coast - Part 2 : Arrival
http://theniteowl.blogspot.com/2014/08/oregon-coast-part-2-arrival.html
Periodically Updated Webtronically Enabled Personalized E-Diary : An attempt at humour, every week. Sunday, August 10, 2014. Oregon Coast - Part 2 : Arrival. The tired local kids who must wither at the sight of more and more tourists invading their town. Rebelling against everything that kids rebel against every year, but set up against the blare of souvenir shops and saltwater taffy makes it particularly dismal. The house we rented was just right. Overpainted, far too many American flags, a sense of...

Periodically.org: Oregon Coast - Part 3 : Less Windy
http://theniteowl.blogspot.com/2014/08/oregon-coast-part-3-less-windy.html
Periodically Updated Webtronically Enabled Personalized E-Diary : An attempt at humour, every week. Sunday, August 24, 2014. Oregon Coast - Part 3 : Less Windy. Pacific Northwest Beaches aren't usually the type where all the men are in euro-speedos and all the women in two-pieces that fit with varying degrees of accuracy. It's more like a warmer version of what I think everyone thinks of New England. With better sand and more neutral accents. Invariably these off-seasonals are kids. My kids. View my comp...

Periodically.org: Why does this dog like walking around with limes so much?

Periodically Updated Webtronically Enabled Personalized E-Diary : An attempt at humour, every week. Sunday, July 13, 2014. Why does this dog like walking around with limes so much? It was the last thing his mother gave him before she was shot dead in broad daylight for standing up to El Jefe AND city hall. He was the runner-up to represent 7UP for their Hong Kong sub regional ad campaign 3 years in a row and just cant. Let it. Go. It reminds him of the last clown to ever tease him. He was raised in an ab...

Periodically Updated Webtronically Enabled Personalized E-Diary : An attempt at humour, every week. Tuesday, July 15, 2014. It's a little known fact, well, known only to parents, that parenthood consists of facing and planning for obscene horrors. Yes, there is all the schmaltzy stuff that gets posted on your Facebook wall or gets chain-mailed from your mother or aunt or whatever (eventually all coming from a devout but curiously bigoted church lady in Nebraska) , but there is that other thing. The kids ...

Periodically Updated Webtronically Enabled Personalized E-Diary : An attempt at humour, every week. Tuesday, December 10, 2013. Whidbey Island Part 1. And its through these activities that an alarmingly large number of families have bonded together. The men, by playing european board games about, amongst other things, power distribution in a large German city, battling monsters for control of Tokyo, and winning the favour of the marriagable princess in 16th century Normandy (we cast a wide net). We all m...
