I’m moving the blog

Posted on December 15, 2025December 15, 2025 by Michael Hodges

I haven’t been (consistently) active on this blog in a while, but maybe that’ll change in time as I grow tired of social media. I’m thinking about moving the blog though and separating the Freemasonry posts to another domain of mine. I likely going to move the personal blog to a subfolder like michaelhodges.com/blog or…

Grilling on an Intel i9 Processor

Posted on February 24, 2024February 24, 2024 by Michael Hodges

I’m not sure who made this (or the song name used in it, which Shazam can’t seem to identify) but it’s both hilarious and cool! My old MacBook Pro and iMac both had an i9 processor, and the MBP’s fans would always be on, sounding like a jet engine. The iMac was a reliable furnace…

Rambo: Last Blood

Posted on May 25, 2020 by Michael Hodges

So I came across Rambo: Last Blood freely available on Amazon Prime and figured what the hell.. oof… first two thirds of the movie was absolute trash. 😫Last one third of it though kind of somewhat redeemed itself for some entertainment, and the nostalgiac montage at the end was a nice touch.
