It's Always Tuesday in Philadelphia: About this site

http://alwaystuesdayinphilly.blogspot.com/p/about-this-site.html

It's Always Tuesday in Philadelphia. This site is basically my blog. The name comes from a mash up of the title of a popular TV show based in Philly combined with the tendency for folks in my various online circles of actively trolling on Tuesdays. Hope you enjoy it.

It's Always Tuesday in Philadelphia: September 2012

http://alwaystuesdayinphilly.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html

It's Always Tuesday in Philadelphia. Ugh, what a rough night.  As I was going to bed, I felt the beginning of a migraine coming on.  For a moment, I thought about getting up and taking some meds. What bothers me most in a lot of articles is the broad brush an author will write with when setting up their main point.  Its a natural tendency, one that Ive succumbed to previously. The Problem with Online Content Delivery. As TV moves from the airwaves (hey, I still have rabbit ears! Been playing with Watir.

It's Always Tuesday in Philadelphia: Playing with P Mode

http://alwaystuesdayinphilly.blogspot.com/2013/06/playing-with-p-mode.html

It's Always Tuesday in Philadelphia. Playing with P Mode. So I dabble in photography. I have a pretty nice dSLR and an extremely solid point and shoot along with my iPhone which can be handy and take a surprisingly good picture in a pinch. Anyway, my brother recently acquired the same dSLR that I have - the Nikon D5100. Love this camera. Great sensor. Lightweight. Lots of capabilities. Found a great link on Ken Rockwell's site regarding playing with Manual mode but in it he mentioned P Mode. It has a P M...

It's Always Tuesday in Philadelphia: December 2012

http://alwaystuesdayinphilly.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html

It's Always Tuesday in Philadelphia. So today I will watch Magnum P.I. Specifically, Season 7, Espisode 6: Death and Taxes. My brother was nice enough to tape it for me years ago. Deoxit is the bomb. I think this may be my current favorite product ever in the history of the universe.  I came across it while researching how to fix pots on old stereo receiver.

It's Always Tuesday in Philadelphia: November 2012

It's Always Tuesday in Philadelphia. Paying down the debt. Saw an interesting tweet today about paying down the deficit by getting rid of Alaska. We purchased Alaska from Russia for $7.2 million USD back in the 19th century. Surely it's appreciated. Of course if we focused on the gas and oil in Alaska (approximately 35 billion barrels of oil and 137 trillion cubic feet of natural gas according to this. Then the value jumps somewhat. Right now, a barrel of oil sells for @$84. Very cool Mac trick. I decide...

It's Always Tuesday in Philadelphia. A set on Flickr. Had some fun playing around with my new lens. Before there was Sheldon Cooper. There was David Byrne. The difference being, of course, is that while the actor playing Sheldon Cooper - Jim Parsons - may have some street cred because of the character he plays; David Byrne played basically himself observing a typical Texas town on the eve of its sesquicentennial in his movie True Stories.

It's Always Tuesday in Philadelphia: Watching a friend die

http://alwaystuesdayinphilly.blogspot.com/2013/03/watching-friend-die.html

It's Always Tuesday in Philadelphia. Watching a friend die. So I've been watching a friend die. Slowly. By alcohol. (graphic account follows). This really pains me as my biological father drank himself to death. I don't need this shit. The other night was the last straw. He had cut his finger and was bleeding all over the bar. I just wanted a beer after having gotten back from driving my daughters home. Rumor is he took a Xanie in the bathroom. I could care less as he was bleeding on me. Picture Window t...

It's Always Tuesday in Philadelphia: Jaws

http://alwaystuesdayinphilly.blogspot.com/2014/07/jaws.html

It's Always Tuesday in Philadelphia. My youngest, who is now nine, watched Jaws for the first time last night. A couple of years ago I had her older sister watch it. The youngest asked why she had to watch. It's obviously a scary movie. I told her there were two reasons. First, I want them to learn how to get past fear - the oldest swore she wouldn't get into the ocean again after watching the movie but was in the water the next day. The second reason is it's an awesome movie. Just terrific.

It's Always Tuesday in Philadelphia: Habemus Papam

http://alwaystuesdayinphilly.blogspot.com/2013/03/habemus-papam.html

It's Always Tuesday in Philadelphia. So the college of Cardinals selected an American and a Jesuit. I find this fascinating. I am thinking back to a story my dad used to tell about being in Germany and remarking about a piece of 'antique' furniture. The people pointed out that it wasn't considered an antique because it was only 200 years old. I have my own spirituality and I'll discuss it if somebody asks, but most don't care. But now I'm watching my former spiritual home being taken over by an intellect...
