When #ChicagoGameday prep puts your pouch to the test.
Somehow I didn’t think to try cramming virtually all of my ephemera into this little organizer that came with my Mission Workshop backpack until now. We’ll see how it holds up in the field.

Random peeve of the day: if someone is only able to explain an idea by using a metaphor or simile, then my takeaway is that they don’t truly understand the idea they’re trying to convey.
It’s sorta like the scene in that ’90s gem, Reality Bites, where Winona Ryder is trying to get a job as a journalist, and the woman interviewing her asks a single question: “Define irony.” As soon as Ryder starts her response with, “Well, irony is like when…” the woman bids her good day. (Later, Ethan Hawke is able to effortlessly rattle off the dictionary definition of irony, a sign that his character is wasting considerable talents.)
Caveat: I get that this is my own peeve and that people best express themselves in different ways. I have just encountered this a few times in my career, and it annoys me almost as much — but not quite — as upspeak.
Liberated from a private share. I love how much of what we assumed about history is being proven wrong lately.
How the heck did a giant like Robert Bloch manage to write such a godawful TOS episode as “Catspaw”?
And that dang wig again!
I want the whole world to know that Paolo Greco is loved. We stand beside you in the face of bullies, be strong, if you can – we’re always here for you.
Shares and +1’s matter here folks, let you voices be heard.

This is why they need to keep me away from my son’s LEGOs.
I just finished the ST:TOS episode “The Changeling.” This makes two episodes now — this and “A Taste Of Armageddon” — where Kirk manages to convince a computer to destroy itself just by pointing out faulty logic.
Did TOS invent this trope?
I’ve just hit season 2 of my Star Trek TOS rewatch, and I’m finding the forced insertion of Chekov and his Beatles-via-Davy-Jones wig extremely jarring.
