For the screen share and video/voice in general I like Google Meet. One game I'm in uses Zoom - it uses Discord for sharing documents, posting NPC pictures for posterity, and other things. Have used the die roller integration in Discord before not now thow, and I think we tried doing video...

Family genealogy work - always had a bit of an interest, really went into it hard a bit over five years ago when I opened an account that let me easily put everything on line. Scout things with the offspring - was involved myself until I was finishing undergrad, started again when the little...

In the US we have "504 Plans and IEPs" as part of federal regulations for students who have been diagnosed with ADHD or other things that really prevent the work from being done, so that in theory the teachers would know and have to accommodate. --- Now if only they could make sure all parents...

The Rex Stout biography works better in small batches, so still going through it. Reread Josephine Tey's "The Franchise Affair". I think It is truly outstanding (especially in terms of the quality of writing and the insights the various characters have). Started "An Expert in Murder" by...

I'm a big fan of setting up primary/secondary school for kids to learn and not just grade/bean count them into submission (Our local district sets the minimum percent a student can earn at the end of each quarter as a 50% so that the grades essentially work like GPA for the course over the span...

In spite of having read Watchmen a billion times, I had missed the Outer limits relationship... https://www.comicsbeat.com/did-watchmen-steal-from-the-outer-limits-or-from-jack-kirby/ The article gives a lot of places preceding the Outer Limits too. "Sometimes I think the people of this...

This is hard for me to argue with. NIce list!

Finished most of the latest John Sandford Lucas & Virgil novel on the flight out and killed it off in the hotel (holy F, the author is 81!?) and got a few more chapters in the Rex Stout biography done on the first leg of the flight back.

Our regular places for the last decade or so have been brewpubs or restaurants with good bars. There are three places in our current happy hour rotation - all that brew their own stuff. (One that might sneak back in some day doesn't). I'm travelling for work this weekend, and this is my...

Away from my usual haunts - at St. Joseph's Brewery and Public House on Indianapolis. The last keg of Hefe ran out right before I got there, but the Dark Angel Black Lager was very good and the St. Nick Baltic Porter was solid. They also had pimento cheese and jalapenos somewhere on the menu...
