Stories from the Crisper Drawer

Filet's are Good but Bacon is King.

So this was an episode that had no structure, just to keep up the every Saturday recording but less political than usual.

Rotten Apples and Sour Grapes

So 20,000 plus National Guard in Washington DC For the Inauguration. Trump's second impeachment. Slowdown in Covid vaccines from Pfizer so they can retool their main plant in Europe. Signal going down for a few days as people think about how powerful a few technology companies are in this day and age.

DId Anyone Keep the Receipt for 2021?

So 2021 has started and it is not much better than 2020 so far. We have the Capitol building breached in the US by Trump supporters. More Covid lockdown time. Big tech going coming down on political actors they or their staff do not like. Who could have predicted this. So hopefully after January things can start coming around with the vaccine roll out and maybe a calming down of political heat.

About the shave of the 2020 mold from the cheese for 2021

So the year is almost over, and what a year it has been. Maybe one to not remember for the Covid and elections. At least the games were good for the most part.

When Two Potatoes Debate, We Learn Nothing.

So it is almost the election in the United States and boy what a year 2020 has been so far. Also Calgary is lowering the speed limit for surface streets to 40 km/h next year, and expanding the program to charge residents for street parking. Finally watched the Star Wars Episode 9 as well as Solo, and will give my thoughts on them. Playing some old games like Act of War and Act of Aggression as well as Luigi's Mansion 3.

Floods, Fights, Freedoms, and Further infections

So we have floods in China and more questions about the Three Gorges Damn, protests heating up again in various US cities. Infections are on the rise in the US as governments figure out what to do, lock-down again fully or try to find a way to operate society while minimizing risk by mandating masks.

From Rona to Riots and Back Again

OK so finally making the 3rd episode of the season and man is it overdue. Covid still fills the news mostly since March 15th but on May 25th Alberta started to re-open. Unfortunately George Floyd's death by the hands of Minneapolis police also happened on May 25th and I discuss ways to increase accountability and responsibility in the police forces around north america, though mostly for the US so hopefully this does not happen again without action against the bad actors. Social media erupted after George Floyd's death and I think people need to be realize to solve the problems of police brutality and we should not jump to silence or force speech to fit our individual world view. Finally some gaming talk from Command & Conquer remaster as well as Xenoblade Chronicles series.

Post Valentines Day Blue Blur

Saw Sonic the Hedgehog, and man it was worth the rework they did, sadly many 3d artists were laid off after their hard work redoing Sonic.  Almost done Eternal Darkness Sanity's Requiem on the Gamecube. Working with my brother in Airdrie was fun, learned some stuff about projecting on buildings. Slow start to the season but some job opportunities are on the horizon so stuff might change.
