Real Life

Today, I’m gonna talk about something pretty cool I got into recently – Maasai tribal masks. You know, those vibrant, eye-catching things from East Africa. I’ve always been fascinated by African art, and I finally decided to dive deep into these masks. Let me tell you, it’s been quite a journey. So, first off, I started digging around to find out what these masks are all about. I learned that the Maasai people, mainly chilling in Kenya and northern Tanzania, use these masks in all sorts of ceremonies. I read…

Alright, let’s dive into this. I’ve been messing around with this whole “ukiyo-e woman” thing, and I gotta say, it’s pretty wild. For those who don’t know, ukiyo-e is this old-school Japanese art style – think woodblock prints and paintings – that was big during the Edo period. It’s got this really distinct look, and it often shows scenes from everyday life, famous stories, or, you know, pretty ladies. So, I started by just looking at a bunch of these prints online. I was trying to get a feel for…

Hey everyone, it’s your old buddy back again with another hands-on project to share. Today, we’re diving into the world of Norse mythology, but not in the usual bookish way. I got my hands dirty trying to mess around with Norse statues. Getting Started First off, I needed to get a feel for what these statues are all about. I read up on the primary sources like the Prose Edda and Poetic Edda, which are basically the go-to texts for Norse mythology. These were put together in the 13th century…

Okay, let’s talk about this V. S. Alexander thing. I had this project, and I was like, “How do I figure out who’s gonna win this election?” So, I started digging around the web, looking for information about this race in Virginia’s 7th Congressional District. First, I was checking out some polls. You know, those things where they ask people who they’re gonna vote for? I found a bunch, but they were all saying different stuff. Some said this guy Eugene Vindman, a Democrat, was ahead. Others were saying Derrick…

Alright, let’s talk about Napoleon and his slick use of propaganda. This guy, he wasn’t just a military genius, he was a master of public relations way before that was even a thing. I got sucked into this rabbit hole a while back, and let me tell you, it’s fascinating stuff. So, I started digging into how Napoleon controlled his image. It wasn’t just about winning battles, although that definitely helped. This dude was using everything he could get his hands on to make himself look good. I mean, everything….

Hey everyone, it’s your boy here, back at it again with another wild experiment! Today, we’re diving deep into something pretty messed up – ancient Greek punishments. I’ve always been a bit of a history nerd, and the more I read about this stuff, the more I was like, “I gotta try to understand this better.” So, here’s how I went about it. First off, I spent a good chunk of time just reading. I mean, I really dug into old texts, online articles, and anything I could get my…

Today I want to talk about something that’s been on my mind lately: the world of elite auction companies. I’ve been digging into this for a while now, and I’ve learned a lot that I think is worth sharing. It all started when I got curious about how high-value items get sold. You know, things like fine art, rare collectibles, and even real estate. I mean, how do these things find their way to the right buyers? So, I began to look into it. The first thing I did was…

Today, I wanted to dive into something a bit different from my usual tech stuff – quotes from Eva Peron. You know, Evita, the former First Lady of Argentina. I got curious about her after watching a documentary, and I thought, why not share this little exploration with you all? So, I started by just Googling “Eva Peron quotes.” I know, real basic, but hey, it’s a start. I landed on a few websites, nothing fancy, just your typical quote collections. They had the usual stuff like, “I demanded more…

Okay, so, I’ve been digging into this thing called Oracle Analytics Server, or OAS for short. It’s kind of a big deal if you’re into data and all that jazz. Basically, it is the on-premises version of Oracle Analytics Cloud. It is like a bridge between the old-school OBIEE and the fancy cloud stuff. I heard it is pretty much packed with all the cloud features, even some AI magic. First off, I got my hands on it by getting it installed on our local servers. I will be honest….

Alright, today I wanna talk about my recent experience with Richard the Lionheart in Evony. I’ve been playing this game for a while now, and I’ve gotta say, figuring out the best way to use each general can be a real head-scratcher. So, I got my hands on Richard the Lionheart. First thing I did was check out his stats. When you max out his specialties, this guy gets a solid 50% siege buff. Pretty impressive, right? I saw that he’s ranked 9th in siege defense and 7th in siege…
