The Day The Earth Got Pushed

Delaying TDTESS, plus replacement titles for DM and my brush with COVID.

Blind Man's Non-Bluff

 AKA Why SG-1 is late (temporary blindness). Also my fear of dying in my sleep, how sick I got student teaching, problems with my cats, mistaking a train for Jesus, and why I may have spontane...

Vacation + Requests

After much cajoling I am giving in and taking a vacation Saturday afternoon to Monday night. Since the fall of Western Civilization has gotten in the way, I've rented a cabin on a lake for two nigh...

Big Trouble with Little China

I'm actually kind of proud of that title.

Things are in the default mode - nuts. They're doing an appraisal of my house on Monday, and seeing as how they need to be able to get through it fro...

Rewards Sent

If you did not receive a message with your reward for the month, let me know. There's a new system, and I know I botched up one aspect of it already.

Hiccup

Hi. I just wanted to drop you all a note. I've mentioned before about my two attacks that were false alarms, believed to be stress. After this past weekend, though, it's been suggested to me that s...

Restoration moves slowly

I get into a bit of why uploading the re-upload is moving far slower than planned, and why the politics of the moment is making it so. To lighten it up, I also tell a story of my inability to build...

Choas: Bonus round

I wasn't sure how to get this post started, everything sounded so glib.

My uncle who is in his mid 60s, had a sudden, unexplained deterioration. It's not related to COVID, though that is comp...

The certainty besides death

So, I don't know if you've heard, but the taxing of online goods has reached Patreon. Or it will come July. Fortunately for me, Patreon is handling all of the logistics of that on their end (bad en...

I guess I've no excuses left...

...on why I can't start working on reviewing this series.

May Q&A

I thought I'd at least drop this for all of you now. I should be getting you your rewards (both for the month and for the week) this weekend, likely tomorrow. So if you're interested in a few small...

Video Move SitRep

Today I fill you in on the Vimeo situation, the trials and tribulations of the algorithms, plus a little discussion of the COVID impact at Debris Ranch and a message for those who are struggling ri...

Not quite your April rewards

Sorry, was really hoping to get them to you today, but wasn't able to pull it off. The irony of the situation is that it looks like the COVID19 chaos has thrown Vimeo's staff off their game so that...

Plan 46 From Outer Space

(Note: I don't do April Fools Jokes)

Just wanted to update you on the plan.

A not-so-quick census puts the number of videos only on Vimeo as 862. As of yet, there ...

One Steadying Breath

Just a heads up that I've decided to take today as a breather. Tomorrow is the last day Vimeo will be hosting, so one way or another I'm going to have to commit to a strategy; I've spent some time ...

Just an update on the move

Just though I'd mention things are going to be harder with this than I thought. I optimistically thought that I could open additional Youtube channels for some of the reviews, to distribute things ...

Spider-man Preview

So I wasn't able to get you any of your rewards for this weekend, but I had come pretty close to finishing this before the Vimeo stuff anyway, so I thought I'd finish it and share it with you. It's...

Pending Shuffle

I thought I'd post this here to update you all. The upshot is that I'm altering the schedule and taking a little time off. Details follow:

As you know, I've found out that I have to leave vim...

Leaving Vimeo

So, here's the situation with Vimeo.

I got an email last week about how, in response to them losing money (despite headlines about how they have proven the non-advertising business...

Restoration Progress

The tl;dr of it is that I'm making headway and am hopeful to get back to what I'm supposed to be doing instead of wasting time on stuff that has already been done. That and a whole lot of griping. ...

Star Trek Update

I thought I'd take the opportunity to fill you in on how the Trek restoration process is going, since that franchise is tied so centrally to what I do.

I spent a fair amount of January workin...

The Millstone

I started this year with real optimism. I had a solid plan in place and it was working out, I've been hitting all my benchmarks without a problem, everything is positioned to make this the best yea...

Stuff slightly delayed, also, what happened

As usual, I can't tell you anything without a long, needlessly drawn out explanation. TLDR, the last thing I need is arriving today, I'm hopeful that I can get your Saturday rewards to you tomorrow...

Positivity

Happy Thanksgiving (early)! Here's info about how I can barely leave my sickbed, plus announcements on the officer level stuff coming next month, and (mostly) positive things to say about life.

Just a quick note about today's rewards

I hadn't anticipated today's problems with The Mind's Eye public release, which has set me back about two hours, not counting, to be honest, the blow to my personal morale. The following is what I ...

More Problems With CBS

Your rewards are going to be late, thanks to CBS.

Backing Up, Schedule Changes, and Self-Pity

tl;dl The working order is going to be: Gravity Falls 9-12, X-Files Nisei and 731, The Guyver, Gravity Falls 13-20. Unmentioned in the audio, but Short Treks Ep 3: How To Make Beach Life Dull will ...

Tech Problem

I am always paranoid. Ever since the show started, I have had a fear that this will be the week when the Internet gets confused and replaces my new video with a Neo-Nazi rant over illegal images of...

Psychology, Katrina, Puppets, and Jackhammers

Just a taste of what is part of my average day.

Migration in Progress

There's some technical issue that I'm trying to work past, once that's finished i should be able to start updating the website and seeing your emails. I'm hoping the forum isn't broken. I can post ...
