Everyone enjoy your February 29th. For me, I’m looking forward to February 31st. Every four years I cancel March 1st (or March 2nd, in this case) and have a bit of a shindig. This year will be pretty low key, but if you like, please join me in giving February it’s long lost days and …

Adobe Acrobat != Useful Markup Tool
Today I relearned something I already knew, but learned two things that I desperately wanted: Adobe Acrobat is the worst editing tool in the whole world If you use any of the comment and markup functionality, then hit ctrl-e, you’ll get a nice set of controls that let you set your size, weight, & etc. …
Last Two Days in the GA Legislature
HB 1116 – Prohibition of Vasectomies. You heard me right. This is a protest bill. SB 468 – Bicycle Rules of the Road. This bill would remove the option for bicyclists to ride two abreast. I am not in favor of this bill. It is ostensibly for safety reasons, but it really is to demonstrate …

Artemis is our regal cat.
So I Made this Today
Recently, I participated in a Kickstarter campaign that delivered to me a paper-stock mecha game! It’s called Lost Reich and it’s by Fat Dragon Games.

I’ve you’ve been wondering why more cat pics aren’t appearing here, it’s because Apollo and Artemis think that someone with a camera means playtime, which means incessant moving around, which means it’s hard to get sharp pictures. So far, the only place I can get them to stand still long enough for image capture is …

Georgia House Bill 166 – Up for a Vote
Georgia House Bill 166 is up for a vote on Wednesday. This bill would remove the “experience path” for Professional Engineers to achieve licensure. I do not approve of this measure, for egalitarian reasons. There are no firm arguments to my knowledge, based on fact, that people who did not go to college cannot be …
Friday’s Legislative Update
HB 961 – Homeowner’s Solar Bill of Rights. I’m not sure how this differs from HB 686. HB 954 – Abortion Bill! Someone with more knowledge should read and interpret this. It’s confusing. HB 942 – Modernize the Code! This is a 21 page bill intended to “amend the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, so …
