Continuing a series of short playlists started about seven years ago. Back then a solo venture, now as a sequence of tracks discussed within a close circle, actively brainstorming the next selection while the music plays. Void of strict...
It was Michael's birthday the other day (happy belated birthday!). Inspired by their birthday wish, today's blog post is about an obscure game that is very dear to me: Heretic II. Heretic II is a "wicked 3D action fantasy" that came out...
“But to politicks and literature there must be an end.” Leave it to Dr. Johnson to remind us of the vanity of our wishes. Human striving often comes to little or nothing. Above he writes of a poet whose posthumous place in English...
Candy Mercer and Denise Carver do not have magic.You will not see them using any spells or a witch’s mark on them, nor do they have an ancient bloodline to call their own, let alone a familiar. To my knowledge, Denise can't even do a...
Every week, I share something I learned in the previous seven days. I usually find these while I'm putting my weekly newsletter together but somehow, they don't quite fit! This week I learned that the worlds third smallest country has...
A group of us from college work our asses to the bone every year on our tailgates. Football is huge in America, and it's even huger in Texas. And once you start talking about University of Texas football, it's just ridiculous. I'm not a...

Film and TV props, especially older ones, fascinate me. Once, when looking at some from Red Dwarf, I commented that they were more basic than I'd expected. The builders agreed, but pointed out that they were on screen for a fraction of a...
On occasion, I will think of an actor who nailed their role as a superhero or villain but just didn't have the best material to work with. They're great, but everything else around them is just not at the same level. From past to more...
Earlier this week, I met a woman who I clicked with perfectly. She is funny. She is beautiful. She is smart. We share interests and passions. My conversations with her are frictionless in a way they rarely are with people I've just met....
Happy Saturday, everyone! Here on Global Nerdy, Saturday means that it’s time for another “picdump”: the weekly assortment of amusing or interesting pictures, comics, and memes I found over the past week. Share and enjoy! Screenshot...
I'm not fully sure if that's how the title should be since I've never done a post like this before, but fuck it. We'll do it live. I first saw Absurd Pirate's post a few days back, which then led me to Chloe's post. Similar to AP it made...
Hatch Chile season is finally here so keep an eye out for these beauties! And if you can't find any in your local markets you can always source them directly from New Mexico. See Where To Buy Hatch Chiles Online if you want to buy them...
Freedom Tower Abstract – New York, New York I’m proud to announce that Issue 86 of my photography magazine is hot off the digital presses (via email)! I’m doubling down on New York City with photos from my 2024 NYC trip, unpublished on...
