Skkra recommends… Yahoo Pickem!
Looking to do a football pickem league with your friends? I really like Yahoo’s pickem. It’s not super complex, but it has everything you need. Pick against the spread, or pick the games straight. Drop the lowest week for everyone at the end, or let each week stand. Play through the regular season only, or…

Skkra recommends… weight watchers!
I love Weight Watchers. If you want to slim down, you’ll love it, too. Thanks to a good 2 years that featured a sedentary lifestyle and excessive consumption of junk food – a nonstop parade of (delicious, delicioussss) Kettle Chips and other assorted snacks – I put on 30 pounds. While Mac from Always Sunny…

Skkra rants on… rain.
Fucking rain, man. When it’s cold out, rain is just absolutely miserable. You can’t even get to your car without that cold, sticky, uncomfortable feeling. If you need to walk a few steps, even with an umbrella, your socks get wet. No matter how long you’re inside, you can’t shake that gross, damp feeling in…

Skkra recommends… BlueHost!
I figure that since I started 2023 by crapping all over HugeDomains for their stupid BS, I should give a shoutout to BlueHost, who hosts this website. I’ve used BlueHost for ages now, and their product is awesome. Straightforward interfaces for managing all of your domains, and fair prices. I should know – I’ve owned…

Skkra recommends… carpenter pencils!
You ever use these things? I don’t know what is about them, but I’ve always loved them. I’m not a carpenter, so I’ve never had an express need to use them, but my Pop Pop was a carpentry god, and he always had them laying around. Maybe I just love them because they remind me…

Skkra recommends… Last Action Hero!
I recently rewatched Last Action Hero, and man, what an underrated classic. It’s hard to believe that this was released way back in 1993. This movie felt really ahead of its time in terms of the way it was a parody of the action genre, while also being an absolutely awesome action movie. The fact…

Skkra recommends… Red Bull!
RED BULL. Have you ever had this shit? It’s the greatest beverage ever. Chock full of caffeine and plenty of delicious chemicals, it has been the battery for my life for years now. There are a ton of godlike flavors to choose from, but for me, Coconut Berry is the MVP. Does it really taste…

Skkra recommends… Z Squad 1981 by Obsidion!
The link to the song is here. Be a mensch and buy the album. It’s worth it. https://obsidion.bandcamp.com/track/z-squad-1981 Synthwave music has become one of my favorite genres over the several years, and this song is an awesome entry in the pantheon of kickass synthwave songs. The sounds perfectly capture the feel of an early 80s…

Skkra recommends… shutting up on LinkedIn!
“Met up with Billy from XYZ Industries for lunch today. What a privilege to meet such a forward-thinking visionary in the field of blahblahblah.” Christ, shut the hell up. No one cares about you, Billy, or your lunch meeting with Billy. I’m not sure why so many people feel the need to verbally fellate their…

Skkra recommends… TextPad!
Some people prefer Notepad++, but personally, I love TextPad. My only complaint off the top of my head is that Find is F5 instead of CONTROL+F? Not sure what the thought process was there, but whatever. The software is so damn good that I can overlook that minor annoyance. It loads files instantly, even insanely…
