The Overwatch League is in its first season! I caught the first Saturday’s matches, although I was a bit late for the first game. My team, the LA Gladiators, had its match last, so no worries there.

First up: London Spitfire versus Philadelphia Fusion   Largest progress indicator I’ve ever seen 🙂 Yes, that’s a pro Junkrat Highlights between…

It’s tough to get up when one has had a tough time sleeping due to a cold. That’s me this morning. Here is a rule to remember in future, when anything tempts you to feel bitter: not ‘This is misfortune’, but ‘To bear this worthily is good fortune.’ – Marcus Aurelius Today’s the first day of the first season of the new Overwatch League. I’ll be trying to watch as much of it as I can online, and…

When I was a kid, watching TV programs meant watching what was on at a particular time and you had to know when your favorite shows were on and be ready to watch at that time, or have it recorded to tape (those antique things), or you’d miss out on that day or week. I remember some channels had bad reception in our area too. I lived through the fall of the corner video stores (RIP Blockbuster and…

That feeling when you need a specific site login and don’t have it handy.

Intending to transcribe them into posts here and possibly practice some revision on them, I thought that might be an interesting exercise.…

Snow Ball Fight #Overwatch #Mei

https://videopress.com/embed/800W9GZ5?hd=0&autoPlay=0&permalink=0&loop=0 Just me having some fun in the snow, virtually. It’s 6 versus 6 elimination match where every character has a snowball gun that fires a single round before needing reloading-via patches of snow spread throughout the map. This is a fun seasonal mode in the game of Overwatch. It’s a fun break from even the quick-play matches…

Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor. – Truman Capote

#AtoZChallenge – Flaky

Heather Joan via Compfight I don’t know about you, but I find a flaky pie crust irresistible. I know this is the second F post for today, but I’m leaving it. … I’m participating in the #AtoZChallenge Challenge! Today’s letter is F. You can find out more about it here:

#AtoZChallenge – Fold

Jorge Jaramillo via Compfight I’ve been interested in the art of origami, or paper folding, for a very long time. I think it’s the way a simple piece of paper, or a few pieces, can be coaxed into making familiar shapes, or even just abstract shapes. The only limits seem to be the creator’s imagination and the limits of folding a piece of paper. Mostly for my own information, I’m looking into it a…
