welcome! – here’s our top picks for value (updated 3rd March, 2025)

  • Here’s a nice even dozen
    I just now figured out that WordPress automatically puts capitals in my post titles. Lame. I’d like to make posts with lowercase titles sometimes, I think. Well, we’ll see. In any case, here’s the final… Read more: Here’s a nice even dozen
  • I’m almost done working
    Its’ 5:02 pm, and I think I’ll call it quits soon., I got a lot done today, but not the kind of things that translate much into actual appearance. I mean, some things were very… Read more: I’m almost done working
  • Hoho! I’m losing It!
    Okay, so that was post number nine, not eleven. And this is ten, of course. And that is a picture of my great-grandfather’s gravestone. And the beautiful Crepe Myrtles that are flanking it. I couldn’t… Read more: Hoho! I’m losing It!
  • I guess This is Post #11?
    Well here’s where the rubber meets the road. Almost. I suppose to truly test the “latest posts” block, and my settings to it, I will need thirteen posts. Doable.
  • Ye Old Work
    I’ve been pretty much used to not doing handyman work now right from the start. I thought maybe it would be a weird transition, but that has not been the case. Amanda texted today, and… Read more: Ye Old Work
  • Forgetfulness is Plaguing Me
    I’ve found as I get older that I have to slow my mental processes considerably at times, just to avoid wasting time. I will often have to go back and fix my mistakes, such as… Read more: Forgetfulness is Plaguing Me
  • A Post About Old Stuff
    These urinals are located in the men’s room of the Glen Art theater in downtown Glen Ellyn, IL. I took a picture of them because you don’t often see urinals like this anymore. Now they’re… Read more: A Post About Old Stuff
  • Five Alive!
    I noticed that my text and images are kind of getting off the screen here. I’m not sure if it’s a setting on my laptop or in WordPress. In any case, it’s just another reminder… Read more: Five Alive!
  • Post Four! Woo!
    Okay, so here’s the deal: after I post this, it should go ahead and make another entry in the “latest posts” section of my front page. That would be groovy. So, I just spent some… Read more: Post Four! Woo!
  • Okay, One Last Post for Today
    I wonder how these posts will look? I hope they display in grid fashion with the featured image looking professional and stuff. I want to have twelve laptops on my home page, arranged in a… Read more: Okay, One Last Post for Today
  • Post Numero Dos
    Oh yeah, I know Espanol alrighty. This post is going to be about laptops and why you should buy one. I have to stay on top of this site or things will get old and… Read more: Post Numero Dos
  • Here’s a Brand-New Dadgum Post!
    This is my first post on BLT to get an idea of how things are going to behave and such. I am simply going to review and rate a laptop in each post, complete with… Read more: Here’s a Brand-New Dadgum Post!

I’m going to give an introduction to the site here: mission, philosophy, principles, and so forth.

What the heck is going on here? I can’t select a paragraph block, but i can just start writing and poof! It appears? Weird. Anyway, I thought it might be nice to have more text here.

And here’s the last paragraph block. Maybe some tips about shopping, or about vendors, or something along those lines. I also might go ahead and nix this column and the one above it if it makes the front page seems too clunky and/or distract from the user experience, that is, to compare and shop for laptops! Woo!
