I’ve had a new slab of glass and black plastic for just over a week now. While this wasn’t a planned purchase, I can’t say I’ve been unhappy with it.

I’ve given the Apple Magic Trackpad the ol' college try; used it exclusively for over a month with my iMac.

My Micro.blog account is now live. I’m looking forward to social media (hopefully) breaking free of the silos of Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.

Update, 4 May 2018: Thanks to Instagram enabling users to download their data, and Manton creating an Instagram Import feature in the Micro.blog Mac app, I am now importing all of my Instagram photos here.


Changes are afoot

If you follow this blog, you notice it doesn’t see a lot of updates of late. I have likely posted my last here at Tumblr.

If you reach this blog through the retrophis.ch domain, that is changing very soon, and this blog will revert to the Tumblr default of retrophisch.tumblr.com. Please update your bookmarks accordingly.

Why? Because I’ve come across a better use of the retrophis.ch domain, and that’s coming soon.

Earlier tonight, post-hockey game dinner at Chipotle. I made Mr. Super Smelly 4 Goals sit away from me and my dad.


Last game of the season, had to make sure to see this guy! Fun as always, @tweetgrubes !


The artist and his work.


Our artist’s “The Amazing Elephant” was selected to represent his school at the LISD Art Show.


What a glorious day for driving with the moon roof open on the way to a spring league hockey game!


It’s podcasting time again, and look what I got!
