Well, here's another week gone. Been a busy few for me and that's good because work usually starts slowing for me quite a bit toward this end of the season. I've managed to put some money aside to budget a new GPU for the recent releases. I plan on waiting for AMD to show us all what RDNA 2 is all about before I actually pull the trigger, but I think I'll end up staying with AMD anyway because I have a Freesync monitor and even though Gsync is supposed to work with Freesync now it's still kind of a crap shoot whether your panel is compatible. And let's face it, I'm not into spending another $300 plus on a new monitor once I get a new GPU. Read more

Hey check it out. It's another WRUP. Read more

I missed last week. Sorry about that. I'm not sure there was much to talk about aside from more wildfire stuff. This weekend though we have some launches to briefly check out. Read more

The entire state of CA is under a heavy layer of smoke. It's like fog here because of the Creek Fire, which is now nearing 190,000 acres; but it's slowing. The valleys are blanketed from various complex fires that are now over 400,000 acres each and it's not just CA. We're getting smoke from Oregon as well. Read more

Well, the fires are lessening locally and so is the smoke that's been hanging in the air for the last couple of weeks. It's nice to be able to get some outdoor workouts in and not feel like I've just been in the smoking section of an airplane back in the 80's. Yeah that was a thing. Read more

Hey everyone, good morning from my seat here while I sip coffee with a look of derision aimed at 505 Games. Let's talk a little about that free-not-free upgrade for Control that's taking place very soon. And take a quick look at the postal service removing mailboxes from streets. Read more

Hey everyone, I'm back but still dealing with remnants of this irritating cold. I've been paying some attention to the new generation AMD GPU rumors and I figured I'd talk a little about that before we see what folks are playing around here. Read more

Well. I'm sick. Not terribly sick, not with COVID. I have a stupid cold and it sucks. I had to cancel work yesterday and I may have to do the same today out of caution. Even though it's not COVID I don't want to bring some sickness to anyone else. No matter how minor. So I figured I'd come drop this WRUP off before I start making calls. Read more
