angelfire and tripod, gone
This is on the front of Lycos today:
To our users of Angelfire and Tripod. We apologize for the service interruptions. Unfortunately we will be shutting down in the next 30 days. Please move your hosting to another host as soon as possible.
...and probably won't be there next week since Angelfire and Tripod will be closed down on April 5, 2026. Or at least that's what the internet tells me.
It's funny how I found out about this.
rider back poker cards are amazing
A fond childhood memory I have from when I didn't have a care in the world is Saturday nights at my grandfather's house. Dad would drive me over there, he and grampy (that's what we called him) would play cards at the kitchen table, and I went into the living room and played Intellivision video games.
Sometimes I would watch dad and grampy play, but not all that often. My favorite part was watching dad shuffle the cards, because he was a master at it. He had big hands, could shuffle lightning quick and bridge a deck like nobody's business. His skill at doing this was most likely acquired when he served in the Navy. A faded memory tells me that's what he said when I asked how he became so good at it. I'm pretty sure he also said he was usually if not always chosen as the dealer whenever a game got together in the days he served because of his skill at handling cards.
Funny enough is that I never played a hand with dad. Do I regret that? Somewhat, but not really because I am no good at cards whatsoever.
What I do have is the cards dad would have played with, Bicycle Rider Back playing cards; they are amazing.
people are freaking out about walmart digital price tags
Making the rounds in the news right now is Walmart planning to implement digital price tags in their stores before the end of 2026.
What people seem to gloss over however is Kroger beat them to it. I saw them in person myself.
Am I freaked out about these tags?
we are closer to 2036 than 2015
If the movie Back To The Future were made today, Marty McFly would be traveling back in time to the year 1996.
I'm getting older. Does that bother me?
run.app spam is happening using google mail servers
I'm already at the point with my email where I block anything containing firebaseapp (Firebase is Google's mobile/web app dev platform), and now I've had to block another, which is anything in an email containing run.app, the official domain associated with Google Cloud Run.
Crap like this is received in email, and it's obviously spam:
Look at the headers, and you see this:
