Some things never change 😂

I was going through a directory of old photos and images a few nights ago when I couldn’t sleep, and I came across this ABSOLUTE GEM that I drew about Call of Duty: World at War way back in May 2009 😂😂😂
What’s crazy is that this is still a problem in multiplayer games 15 years later. While far less prevalent than it used to be, it still happens to me multiple times a night in Battlefield. It’s obviously not an easy problem to solve, but hopefully someday game devs will figure it out since it’s definitely one of the most frustrating things about FPS games.
I’m back baby, I’m back!

In the words of George Costanza, I’m back baby, I’m back!
After being unsure what I was going to do with the site for a while, I decided to go back to ClassicPress and resurrect and update a WordPress theme I built back in 2009 for my site when it lived at soupnazi.org.
I’ve also started playing Battlefield 5 again so maybe I’ll resume posting clips regularly again soon. Maybe the combination of that and having a fast and easy way to post will keep the site going this time. Or, maybe it won’t 🤷♂️

Horsing around at Multnomah Falls in April 2005
Ed. note: I originally wrote and published this 12 years ago in 2012. It’s now been 15 years since he passed and it still seems like just yesterday.
Three years ago tonight, at 8:30 PM Pacific Time, I was sitting on my couch playing Assassin’s Creed II. My twins were nearly 6 months old, and they were laying on the floor in front of the couch playing with some stuffed animals. Tiffany was at work. It was cold and rainy outside. My phone rang. The caller ID on my iPhone showed it was my brother, so I answered the way I usually do when he calls:
Hey! What’s up, man?
Getting back into it

I’ve started playing Battlefield 5 again lately. Here’s a quick 4-piece before getting shot in the back from tonight’s games.

HTML for People
October 10, 2024 • Posted in Links • Permalink
Blake Watson is out with a new project called HTML for People. It’s an online book that teaches anyone how to create a website. From the intro:
HTML isn’t only for people working in the tech field. It’s for anybody, the way documents are for anybody. HTML is just another type of document. A very special one—the one the web is built on.
This is an excellent resource and definitely worth checking it out, especially if you’ve ever wanted to build your own website but were unsure where to start.
AirPods 4 with Active Noise Canceling
September 28, 2024 • Posted in Tech
When Apple first announced AirPods 4, I couldn’t have clicked the pre-order button any faster than I did.
My AirPods Max — which I loved — were flaky as hell for the better part of 2 years (pretty much since AppleCare expired). They actually stopped working for about a year and then I threw them in the freezer for an hour and it brought them back to life, but that’s a different story and something that should be completely unnecessary for $549 headphones.
Moved to ClassicPress

Remember around a month ago when I said the site was back on WordPress and that I’ll probably get bored and switch again at some point? Well, that point was last night. I moved to ClassicPress.

The White Powder Winter Sports jumpsuit!
I’ve been trying to get this outfit forever, and I finally got it last night! The drop rate for it is insanely low—around 0.15%! 😳
After completing what felt like a million events in the Savage Divide, I finally hit the “Wasteland Lottery” and scored the outfit bundle that includes the White Powder Winter Sports jumpsuit!
The bundle also came with the Brotherhood of Steel jumpsuit and the Whitespring jumpsuit, both of which I had already bought from player vendors, along with a few other rare items. I’m so happy 😂
See you in the Wasteland!
