quote [ It's been five years and in that time I haven't really been on the website . . . I just checked it a couple times to see if it was even still online. ]
Hi all. I don't know who's still around from "back in the day", but I resurrected this silly program to tell you about a not-so-silly tragedy that has befallen one of the old Sensible Erection members.

quote [ My largest side project over the last year has been the Genesynth - an open-source hardware synthesizer inspired by the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive. It started with a crazy idea and amazingly ended up with a functional, incredible sounding synthesizer. ]
Cool DIY project. Love the irony of playing Zelda tunes on it.

quote [ 3DSen VR (formerly known as 3DNesVR) is an emulator tool that runs Nintendo Entertainment System games in VR, letting you play the '80s and '90s classic titles that made the console a world-wide phenomenon. ]
I thought it looked gimmicky at first, but after watching some videos and seeing the work they put into the details of each game, this is making me want to buy a VR headset.

quote [ Ugh, that was a terrible, terrible Superintendent Chalmers [impression]. ]
I'm not murdered!
In this volume I talk about the asshole roommate and what resulted from alerting the landlord to the problem, George Gurdjieff and being "woke", Area 51 and conspiracy theories, and how to balance speaking my mind on the podcast while protecting the community that inspires it.

quote [ If someone does fall on one and it’s pointed in the wrong direction, serious injury can occur. It seems to me these metal straw should not be used with any form of lid that holds them in place. It seems the main problem here is if the lid hadn’t been in place the straw would have moved away. ]
The IRONy of this is killing me.

quote [ Goofy likely has a dead wife. Yes, that Goofy: Disney’s accident-prone cartoon dog. This may require a bit of an explanation for those of you who don’t have an encyclopedic knowledge of classic and ’90s-era cartoons. ]
JWWargo loves this stuff.

quote [ A major congressional subcommittee will hold a hearing on marijuana policy next week, Marijuana Moment has learned. Though few details about the meeting are currently available, the House Judiciary Crime, Terrorism and Homeland Security Subcommittee is expected to discuss various legislative proposals to allow states to set their own cannabis policies without fear of federal intervention. ]
I've been going back and forth on taking my doctor up on their offer to give me a medical referral for my chronic pain. I'm not real keen on putting myself into a grey area between states rights and federal law. I truly hope there is some real progress made in having this discussion.

quote [ There are no moose in America, said the French count to Thomas Jefferson. They don't exist there. Americans see a reindeer and just call it a new name, saying it's bigger. But the only thing that's big here is your American imagination. Jefferson was incensed. You are an ignoramus, he said tactfully. Then he promised to deliver an American moose to Paris. Here's what happened next. ]
The stuff they don't teach you in History class. Was surprised to learn from the article how young most of the founders were.
