In the old days, even before 64tacos.com, there was a site called Got Goat? Got Goat is the sister site and kindred spirit of 64tacos. Sure, It hasnt been updated in nearly 2 decades. Yeah, most of the internet things on it arent things anymore. But its beautiful is its outdated brashness and this site owes its existence to that weird, .tripod hosted monstrosity.
Thanks to the stimulus moneys, I decided to stimulate the economy with a new computer purchase. My current desktop is about 9 years old, which is a dinosaur in computer terms. I found a nice pre-build on NewEgg with one of those fancy RTX 3070 graphics cards that you can't get anywhere. Yesterday, it was supposed to arrive by UPS. Since it's expensive, I…

Back in the early days we attempted to make Flash cartoons. This is where the Taco Trio came from. (Yeah, we invented the poop emoji. Youre welcome!) This is probably my favorite of the dozen or so episodes we made. https://youtu.be/ciMELg--Z0w
A couple of days ago, I received an announcement from LastPass that they are changing their free tier password manager to only allow mobile devices OR computers, but not both... unless you pay... $36/year. But they are being generous and giving a discount, so the first year is only $27. I've used LastPass for awhile, because it makes dealing with passwords much more convenient.…
I just spent the the last 5 minutes in my car, in my garage, fuming. I just spent the last 5 minutes sitting in my car, in my garage, stuffing my face with a large fry and small shamrock shake. I just spent the last 5 minutes in my car, in my garage, listening to Crawling Back to You by Tom Petty. On my…
The site used to feature an "advice column" where people could write in and get advice from hall of fame running back O.J. Simpson. It was at the turn of the century so the murder trial was still fresh in everyones minds. This weeks Throwback Thursday revives that bit. This post originally appeared in October of 2002. Proper Procedures Dear OJ, I have been…
