Talkin ’bout that Geequinox 2023…..



For the tl;dr inclined:
Geequinox 2023 was awesome!!!


Two day event at the Forum, let’s tally up:

Pricing: $17 for the weekend. Very good price.

Vendors: Tons!!! Easy to walk around, wide space for walking.

Accessibility: Wide lanes for everyone. Easy to hear and see people. Vendor signs were clear to read with/without glasses in the light.

Swag bag: Pure awesome. Stylish, not cheap campy plastic looking. Prezzies were nifty and charming, esp the Geequinox logo decal.

Events: Nice easy to read paper schedules along with online for younger people that have difficulties with hard copies (teasing, sorry). Please keep this.

Bracelets: Love them! Bright colored, do not tear easy, you can do A LOT without damaging them.

Standouts:

CaperCon – Good to see ya rocking it with awesome swag too!!!

Vendor doing microstories on typewriter – Dude, that is an awesome angle. Took me a hot second to clue in. But damn, that was awesome.

Furries!!!!! You lit it up!

Air quality was awesome!

Lights at vendors booths was good. Able to see and read everything clearly.

Vibe: This was a very cool, relax-a-con feel.

Where to improve? – Have some official online teaser clips from vendors, guests, etc to spark it up. More Geequinox branding.

All in all, I’ll be back!

Tech-Let’s talk about Unsend, baby…

HEY KIDS!!!

Today’s tech lesson is actually a refresher for anyone and everyone that uses FB Messenger.

FB Messenger is still one of the ‘go to’ methods used today.

When it was split from the main FB app, it made it even more appealing for those that just wanted to cast off pics of cats and food recipes like DP (dessert porn). Gorgeous dishes, nice cakes, hot pies, and everything in-between.

But with this, people gained the god-mode of ‘unsend’.

Teams, email, all the cool kids have it these days.

Send off a racy photo of an Indy car to the wrong person, you can keelhaul it back. No foul, no damage, yea!

Or so the common misconception by the masses goes…

While you can pull back original message to hell, it will still exist in the locked screen notification or banner notifications. Ya know, those annoying pop-ups at 3am when someone drunk/stoned messages you? This is why you flip your phone facedown.

If it was critical, they would do the double call (call once, hang up, call back in under 15 minutes) and wake you up to save the world.

The other place messages are saved is email. Depending where you created your account, you may or may not still have these options to have all your chat mails you missed sent to your mailbox to wake up and review while you eat your cornflakes and beer.

(Breakfast of Champions!)

‘Unsend’ is a terribly misleading feature on any app or platform.

With FB crossed with Instagram and other services, tripping someone’s flood/threat warning settings just adds to the fun.

I recommend if someone sends you something by mistake, just delete and disregard it.

‘Nuff said. Class dismissed.

Destructive Thoughtz:

What’s better than an alarm clock? A kitten that knows when you’re supposed to be up for work.
Even after being fed at the correct time, she knows exactly when you should be up.
And the little devious mind of escalating ways to wake you up. From meowing and rubbing to the
dreaded ‘CANNONBALL’ right into your stomach. Tho usually the aim is off and hits you right in
the ‘nads (just like werewolves!)

Baseball pre-season kicks off this weekend plus films ramping up on HBO Max.
WandaVision has one episode left and is a severely underrated show. Most people tuned out
when they saw the first two episodes were in black & white. But many of us watching this
realized quite quickly what was going on. For me, it was a beautiful interpretation from the Marvel movies.
No spoilers for the show. But if you are looking for something meaty and unique, highly recommended.

Otherwise, still putting in screws and nuts into projects.

() HUMOUR! () (Not for virgin eyes…….)

I have a dyslexia fetish. It makes my spine stiff.

==========================
A family was driving behind a garbage truck when a dildo flies out and thumped against the windshield…

Embarrassed, and to spare her young son’s innocence, the mother turns around and says,
“Don’t worry, dear. That was just an insect.”

“Wow,” the boy replies. “I’m surprised it could get off the ground with a penis like that!”

==========================
First we lived in kingdoms run by Kings, then Empires run by Emperors Now we live in Countries…

==========================
A biker walks into a bar and sits down on a bar stool near the end of the bar.

He takes a look at the menu and it reads as follows:

Hamburger – 2.99

Cheeseburger – 3.99

Chicken Sandwich – 4.99

Hand Jobs – 19.99

The crusty old biker waves the bartender down, and up walks this tall, busty, beautiful redhead in her mid-twenties.

She smiles at the biker coyly, and he asks in a quiet voice “Are you the one who gives the hand jobs?”

The bartender blushes slightly and says “Yes, I am” with a sexy little smile.

The biker grins and says “Well wash your hands, because I want a cheeseburger.”

What’s the difference between a garbanzo bean and a chickpea?

I’ve never paid 300 bucks to have a garbanzo bean on my face.

Destructive Thoughtz:

What a week. But ah, we now go thru Chinese New Year, Valentine’s Day, and Heritage/President’s Day. Party weekend in the middle of winter which would be super cool if it wasn’t for that crazy new mutant strains B117, B1351, and P1 bka UK, South African and Brasil strains. But in all seriousness, all we can really do is the same we do for sex: Cover your holes with protection, wash often, get tested and discuss testing. Done. And never fck crazy. Nope. Stay your ass home and feel the romance in your pants to something romantic. Like the original ‘Iron Man’ or ‘Deadpool’ movies.

Cinemas and other places are opening up today locally. Scary on one hand. But on the other hand, it will get the economy going and people back to work. Still sad that all four of my favorite Starbucks have shut down. But who knows, maybe they’ll come back once things start flowing again. Nobody’s opening to max capacity, most at 25% save the cinemas which will be at 50% or 100 max per auditorium. Sure it’ll be cool for people to go out. But we have seen a lot more options come online for people that just want to shut the world out and enjoy life in a little bubble.

It’s not an island. It’s a bubble. Big difference. 🙂

HUMOR! (Not for virgin eyes!)

My wife beamed at me with pride and said, “Wow! I never thought our son would go that far!”

I said: “This trebuchet is amazing! Go get our daughter.”

You know, it’s not the length of the vector that counts… it’s how you apply the force.

At the Gym last week I found a tiny hole in one of my trainers. Just small enough to fit a finger in. However.. I was reported and now banned for life.

Never hit a man with glasses. Hit him with a baseball bat instead.
