I enjoy books, making things, cats, silliness, weird electronics, and vacuum tubes. I'm some flavor of queer, but I'm never quite sure exactly what.

I had a 1973 Buick LeSabre Custom, it was huge. It had previously been owned by a drunk driver, so it was amazingly beat up, but still solid. When I signalled a lane change, people got out of the way. When they restriped the lot for compact cars only, I could take 8 spaces if I parked it just so.

I'm amused, I used to use Blackberry then Sidekick. I didn't go for the Apple ecosystem because I liked a mechanical keyboard, so I went to various sliders, then back to Blackberry. Now I'm looking at modifying a Clicks combination phone case and keyboard.

I remember when I saw the first teaser trailer, showing a woman screaming on a movie screen, then the camera would pan around, and there was the Addams Family in the back row, then they snapped their fingers twice. Ran like 20 seconds but I knew what it portended!

I did seriously try it, but it ended up not really working. I was hoping for scented candles that recreated the smell of working on old electronics. Alas, it didn't seem to work. Granted, I did dilute the wax some.
