Washington DC
I have lived in the nations capital for over a year and a half and I feel like I have not really taken advantage of anything that there is to do here. Yes I went to a few clubs, yeah I went to few fancy restaurants, and I have been to one museum. It’s sad but I have done more exploration of washington DC in Fallout 3 (A video game about post apocalyptic Washington DC ) Than I have in real life!
With only months left here before I am shipped off to rural North Carolina I think that now will be the best opportunity to truly explore all that there is to do here in Washington DC, and whats more blog about it.
So starting this week, possibly even tomorrow I am going to explore every nook and cranny of Washington DC that I can get my hands on. I look forward to this experience and invite everyone to share this journey with me right here on my blog!
Thank you for reading! Share your thoughts with me on bluesky, mastodon, or via email.

Oh Hey, It’s Not Just Me
My whole life I’ve felt like I have great eyesight (and I still do). But lately I’ve been noticing what feels like…some slippage. Nothing big. Just this feeling in the morning like, as my brain and body wake up, my vision needs to as well. The strange nove...

A really well-produced 27-minute video from Super Splash Wave about 8-bit and 16-bit pixel art: What I liked about the video is that it doesn’t just revel in nostalgia, but goes deeper into some techniques and trends and details in the videogame graphics o...
