Confessional: I Ran My Subaru Out of Oil (And It Didn’t Blow Up!)
Now, let me address something here quickly – some of the additives out there *can absolutely destroy your engine* from the acidic by-products generated by the break-down of the additives, including the one I have, and after this, will again, use.Read MoreConfessional: I Ran My Subaru Out of Oil (And It Didn’t Blow Up!)
Reacher- Season 3
My only niggle I have with this season is his predilection to straight-up merc criminals without a second thought. I think he forgets this isn’t war, and the streets and warehouses aren’t battlefields.Read MoreReacher- Season 3

The Color of Money (1986), Fathers, & Rock Bottom
What I didn’t know and learned from these various folks was that these cues are some of the highest-value collectors items amongst the pool-playing elite, identifying them as something more than I ever realized; something special, beautiful – not to be played with, but belonging on a wall, displayed with the fine china and any other generational family heirlooms to be appreciated by looking through glass and not touching.Read MoreThe Color of Money (1986), Fathers, & Rock Bottom
Carry-On (2024)
In cinema, a tight edit of a movie should only give you scenes that inform the motives, advances the plot; all killer, no filler. In a good movie, they’ll show, not tell, and allow you to connect the dots. While there are definitely points of expositions for the sake of advancing the plot, this one has some particularly clever moments I, merrily, didn’t see coming. Made my heart grow three sizes this… morning… that a film like this would trust the audience and give us moments of surprise plot points that were earned.Read MoreCarry-On (2024)
Big Wang™ Shakedown Results
In repeating those exact same scenarios, this time the rears stayed planted, and I wasn’t even close to the limit, the limit being where the tires lose traction and begin to slide. Testing at velocities +30MPH than previous attempts proved stable.Read MoreBig Wang™ Shakedown Results
I (Apparently) Can’t Drive 55
That’s the other part: it’s always ‘Yes sir,’ ‘No sir,’ and ‘I’m sorry, sir.’ I tender deference to the officer in every situation. If I’m carrying a firearm, I keep my hands on the wheel, and tell them where it is, and ask how they would like to proceed.Read MoreI (Apparently) Can’t Drive 55
Pantheon
If you’ve seen the Black Mirror episodes ‘San Junipero,’ think that, coupled with ‘Be Right Back,’ add in some body horror ala ‘The Matrix,’ ‘Ghost In The Machine,’ and add in some serious industrial espionage undertones, and the hubris of what the tech industry will do to be cutting edge. Imagine if Steve Jobs was trying to achieve the same idea I had, but *physically* transferred, and Tim Cook was willing to do whatever, and I mean *whatever* was necessary to make that happen.Read MorePantheon
