Welcome! Find my YouTube channel HERE, and links to more chess stuff HERE. Most this website is unrelated to chess, has been around for a long time, and some parts of it might be out of date. But it’s mine and I like it.
Social media places where I can still be found semi-frequently:
New And Updated Pages
Parts of my website that I’ve updated recently:
| Killeen Weather : 2026 | Updated: 2026.08.02 |
I caught up through Aug 2026 — which was warmer than the recent average (which is warmer than the historical average). It was also very dry, with exactly zero inches of rain and zero days of precipitation.
| My Book Reviews | Updated: 2026.06.21 |
I’m still reading — I just finished The Great Bike Race by Geoffrey Nicholson (five stars!) and continue to link to all my Goodreads reviews.
| I Rode The 2026 ‘Stampede’ (Bike Ride) | Updated 2026.05.15 |
In this, my first blog entry in nearly four years, I summarize how I got into my latest hobby/interest: cycling, including my first official cycling event.
| We’re Number One! (In Almost Nothing Good) | Updated 2026.04.23 |
I first compiled this list 12 years ago, tired of hearing “the U.S. is the best country in the world” from a bunch of barely literate people who couldn’t name a fact about another country. The U.S. is indeed ranked first in many categories, but many of those categories aren’t good things. This year, I updated the list and source links with more current information.
| My Videos | Updated 2024.10.31 |
A list of all my YouTube videos (except the chess-related ones, which are now over here). Updated to include my latest Band-Maid reactions and product reviews.
