Plans For This Year

Unfortunately, it took me so long to find work that I cannot afford any major projects on the lot. Instead, I will clean up the place. I have some inexpensive ideas, which I will report.

Site Updates

I've added two films to the GRS Database.

Enjoy!

Site Updates

I've added three new films & one TV program to the GRS Database.

I also added two new quotes:

You'll do it because it must be done. You'll do it because nobody else can. And if you don't, millions will die. If you tell me that's not enough, I won't believe you. This is what has always set our people apart. A thousand years of sacrifice in our veins, and every generation must know its own suffering. I spit on the people who did this; and, of course, the price I have to pay. I'm making my peace with it. Now you make yours. Go into that water, because it must be done.
Boris Shcherbina in Chernobyl

Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth. Sooner or later that debt is paid.
Valery Legasov in Chernobyl

Enjoy!

Site Updates

I continue to upload changes that freshen the look of the Site. If you notice anything that doesn't clear up after doing a full refresh (usually CTRL+F5), then, please, let me know!

I've uploaded a new feature to the website. It's a three-dimensional globe with pins sticking out of it. To access it, click the spinning globe icon in the upper right of any page!

Each pin is a noteworthy photo that I've taken. You can spin the globe by holding the left mouse button and moving the mouse. Also, you can zoom in and out with the mouse wheel. If you click a pin, a photo should come up. After you've enjoyed the photo, you can click one of the two grey buttons underneath to search for one of the recommended keywords. Or, you can search for your own keyword by clicking the telescope icon.

Thanks for creating and sharing your awesome spinning globe module, Vasco!

Site Updates

I corrected the previous entry's date. Oops! Work continues to improve the styling and loading performance. I'm also updating the mobile pages for visitors using their telephones.

Site Updates

I'll be tweaking the format on the site. So if you notice a page that's messed up, and it doesn't clear up; please let me know.

Site Updates

I've added six new films & two TV programs to the GRS Database. And a new favorite!

Enjoy!

Site Updates

I've added seven new films to the GRS Database. And none have any infractions!

I also added a new quote:

You don't seem to hold majority rule in very high regard.
If something's wrong, it's wrong. Majority rule doesn't have anything to do with it.
Night of the Comet

Enjoy!

New Site Feature: Search

I've added a search feature! (The DuckDuckGo version only returned a fraction of what's on the site.) My search engine allows you to search through the blog--current year and back to 2013. It can also search the trip pages and quotes. Perhaps the ability to search all of the images and videos on the site will be the most popular? It searches filenames and not the actual image, so keep that in mind! Have fun! Here's a link to the Desktop Version . The mobile version is available at the top of the main page.

Let me know if you find any errors!

The Grand Tour

I've finally finished watching The Grand Tour. I enjoyed how the ending ties everything together. I still watch Top Gear regularly. I feel that it's a better show. Maybe Clarkson's friction with the BBC or the small budget brought out the trio's best? Or it could just be that the idea was fresh. Still, I enjoyed The Grand Tour. and recommend it.

Graph of GRS Entries by Year & Decade

I continue to work on the feature that I previously reported. It's slow going, but I am making consistent progress. Meanwhile, I created a plot of the GRS entries by year and decade. It worked out pretty well! See it here. I last reported the entries only by decade. Enjoy!

Happy New Year!

I wish you the best for this year!

Site Updates

I've added a new funny photo:

I'm currently working on a new feature that should connect the different parts of the website. While working on this feature, I had to log into the web server. I checked the site hits & visitor counts. I was astonished that the site receives about 300 unique visits every day, on average. I'm stunned. And these aren't page hits like when someone loads a photo from this site that's posted to a forum. The daily hit count is about 3,000. These figures are due to you. Thank you!!
