| c-i-e celebrates its Pedroia Anniversary |
Today marks fifteen years since Triptych Cryptic launched into the blogosphere. Like a shambling zombie, cryptonaut-in-exile (now just a tych, I suppose) continues to lunge at your grey matter. Not to chomp; only to tickle.
As always, in case I don't say it enough, I appreciate more than is, strictly speaking, reasonable or healthy when you take a moment to argue, agree, or just set me straight when I go off-the-rails. It's a big internet and c-i-e is about as backwater a string of 1s and 0s as you'll find on it. That anyone stops by at all, is a mystery and delight. Thanks for that.
What am I up to off the internet these days? Let's time capsule a few tidbits:
- Reading Capital in the 21st Century by Thomas Piketty
- Last read (well, listened to the audiobook of) A Fighting Chance by Elizabeth Warren
- Watching iZombie (but not The Walking Dead), Arrow, The Flash, Archer, Doctor Who (of course), Gotham, and my that's a lot of comic book-inspired fare for a fella who was never all that much into comic books
- Recently attended Wizard's Raleigh Comic Con
- Recently promoted to the fancier-sounding-than-it-is title of Principal Systems Analyst at the day job
- Waiting to hear if youngest brother lands a promotion that'll move him to California soon
- Not discovering much in terms of new music or catching new movies lately, but want to see: Boyhood, John Wick, The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, Top Five, and Only Lovers Left Alive
