I've been doing some flying via X-Plane 11 lately, but I had an opportunity to check out MS Flight Simulator 2020 recently. While MSFS has better graphics, hands down, I was able to use some free add-ons to get really close in X-Plane. X-Plane has better physics, and supports multi-monitor (and multi-PC) setups out of the box. Both simulators automatically keep pilot logbooks for you, but overall, I definitely still prefer X-Plane.

Honest Trailer for one of my favorite movies.

One drawback of HTMLy is the lack of a native comments engine. I thought about hacking together a simple system, but decided to install Disqus instead, as there is support already in the code. Not that I'm likely to get a ton of comments these days, but I can't stand a blog without the ability to comment at all ;)

A podcast on the Dodleston messages.

I just got back from seeing Resident Evil: Welcome to Racoon City, and all I've really got to say is wow! Loved every moment of it, and how much closer to the game franchise it is than the previous iteration of the movie franchise. Lovers of the movies might not care for it unless they also enjoyed the games. Lovers of the games will probably enjoy it more than the previous movies.

While looking up more information on The Dodleston Messages, I ran across this. How have I spend almost my entire life in small-town Ohio and never heard of The Circleville Letters before?

I am subscribed to a number of retro-computer channels on Youtube, and one of them introduced me to The Dodleston Messages. Enjoy!

Trying something new for the site to see how it works. Old posts can be found at http://blog.nitemarecafe.com
