Funding is now non-funded
Back when I started this site, and mainly when I started editing and posting videos (and then podcasts), I had never really expected this hobby to turn a profit or really make much money at all. And over the years, my total earnings have come up to approximately $1 – not even enough for a…

Stable end to a long week

Of course, traffic is almost non-existent, so outages are not a big…

Initially, I had lots of plans for getting caught up on videos and podcasts, painting miniatures, gaming, and various other activities. I actually ended up barely touching the video content, only painting a fraction of…

New Year, new Internet
For many years, many more than I can recall, I have always had AT&T for my internet service provider. They have been a mostly reliable provider, with solid service, decent prices, and the top speeds in my area. However, they have slipped a bit recently in the speed category and pricing.
