Serendipitous Bits: January 2010

http://serendipitousbits.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html

Chance Thoughts on Life, Movies, and the World. Friday, January 1, 2010. The Last Ten Years. A decade has come to an end, and as long as we keep consistent, I suppose that the popular idea that decades end with the nine becoming a zero is hardly worth arguing about. Psychologically speaking it is much more powerful than the 1-10 chronology. The story of a person isolated on an island, and how he survives and returns to civilization. More than anything it inspires one to never give up. Under the Tuscan Sun.

Serendipitous Bits: Thoughts on The Hobbit (Part 1)

http://serendipitousbits.blogspot.com/2012/12/thoughts-on-hobbit-part-1.html

Chance Thoughts on Life, Movies, and the World. Monday, December 17, 2012. Thoughts on The Hobbit (Part 1). Having fond memories of the book, I went to see the latest Middle Earth theatrical installment. I have enjoyed the previous films, even if some of my favorite bits were relegated to the Extended editions where I would have liked them to have been longer. I liked this one too. Below this I'll be going into some spoilery observations on book vs movie, so come back later if you haven't seen it yet.

Serendipitous Bits: Tech support amusements

http://serendipitousbits.blogspot.com/2011/02/tech-support-amusements.html

Chance Thoughts on Life, Movies, and the World. Friday, February 25, 2011. As those who have read my profile know, I do tech support for a living. Over the years, I've done support via email on a couple of different contracts, and been quite amused by some of the submissions and responses. I was reminded of one of my favorites by some printer woes I noticed on Twitter. Here is his gem of a reply, edited only to remove the models and names:. The bastard will self-park and stop printing jobs on me no more!

Serendipitous Bits: May 2013

http://serendipitousbits.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html

Chance Thoughts on Life, Movies, and the World. Sunday, May 12, 2013. Grateful for her mother. And her mother's mother. And her grandmother's mother. Grateful to have spent time with them. Sad that only her mother is left. Sadness in the mirror. The chain stops here. Miracles are not to be had. In the land of opportunity. Tears fall like rain. As the salt filled hourglass drains away. No slow growth is coming. This pain is worse. No hands to hold. No kisses to place. Grateful for the aunts and sisters.
