Featured Images

By Splinter on June 19, 2020

PAX – In my ultimate authority and without consultation, I have made a change to the website such that all posts will now have a default featured image. Continuing the theme of autocracy, the default image for all posts will be an original B&W photo of old glory. Having an image for every post helps with the overall fit and finish on the website but additionally, I just like having one. Adding a featured image to a post is straightforward. In the right gutter of every post there is a Featured image section. This is the same sidebar where you…

Movie Review: Extraction as an embodiment of F3 values

By Bodo's on April 28, 2020

This weekend I watched the new Netflix-produced film Extraction, starring Chris Hemsworth. It has gotten a lot of good press, and I’m always up for a great action movie.
