This is a step-by-step instruction on how to fix WordPress' White Screen of Death, without the need of a Business Account.
World Wildlife WordPress of Jacksonville
I’ve never seen so many birds and insects in one place, it’s pretty crazy. I’ve already seen two different snakes and plenty of bugs (some of which I could care less). So, enjoy all the wildlife that I’ve seen around Jacksonville.
Mpls: October 6, 2025
Rocktober! Here are some shows in Minneapolis/St Paul on October 6, 2025. • Hazlett at First Avenue (Oct 6, 2025) • MICO at Fine Line (Oct 6, 2025) • Runnner at 7th St Entry (Oct 6, 2025)
Weekend Gamer: ROG Xbox Ally X price confirmed
We’re about a month away from the launch of the ROG Xbox Ally X, and we still don’t know the actual price. Rumors and UK prices suggests the device will be anywhere from $700 to $800… although I personally thought it would probably be a $1,000 based on the trends I was seeing.
Hefty Hi-Rise 32-qt bins are perfect for Graded Comics
These Hefty Hi-Rise 32-qt bins are perfect for Graded Comics. I’m somewhat starting a Slab collection, so I’m interested in a storage solution. I bought two of these Hefty bins from Walmart today ($9 each).
The Next Generation PC Handheld
This Techtober we will be seeing the battle of the PC Handhelds. On one corner is the much-anticipated ROG Xbox Ally X and the other corner is the underdog Legion Go 2. Both will be using the next generation AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme Processor on the high-end models. If you were looking for the next level performance, you have to get the Z2 Extreme chip, because the lower-end model’s performance is comparable to last year’s Z1 Extreme.

Amazon Prime Day 2025
Amazon Prime Day is here. The event will run through July 11. I ask you to not buy anything on those dates, because Amazon will mess up on your orders (wrong items, wrong location, missing deliveries)… it’s almost not worth it for the savings. I’ve experienced these problems first hand. Oh, also, I should also add to the note that the delivery time takes much longer. Normally you get your products in one or two days, but on Prime Day (this also applies to Black Friday), it may take up to a week! It’s incredibly frustrating, so again, I urge you wait two weeks after July 11, if you plan on buying anything on Amazon.
Prime Time: Housewarming
With Amazon Prime Day coming up on July 8 to 11, I want to remind people to not get anything on those dates. It’s from firsthand experience, but due to the influx of orders, Amazon will often screw something up on your orders or deliveries. I’ve had wrong items or mis-delivered items… and they only happen around Prime Day.
Weekend Gamer: The Future of Xbox
Ahead of the ROG Xbox Ally X, set for Holiday 2025, Xbox has updated their Xbox PC App to give you a preview of what to expect for the future of Xbox. Xbox is heavily betting their future on Game Pass and branding the Xbox name on other company’s hardware (for example Asus’ ROG Ally and Meta’s Quest VR).
Weekend Gamer: Fallout at Five Below
The first time I heard about Five Below, it was in Minnesota, about ten years, and I just couldn’t believe how everything in the store was $5 or under. I probably spent so much money at that store, buying everything from iPhone cables to hardcover books to action figures. In the beginning, when everything was new (and cheap), it was pretty exciting.
Weekend Gamer: Fallout Pip-Boy
As a diehard Fallout fan, I have been collecting official Fallout merchandises for years and years. When the Amazon television series was announced in 2024, it was the best thing that could have happened for Fallout collectors. It meant that, for the first time in a long time, we got a ton of official Fallout merchandises, thanks to Amazon’s strong licensing department.
Weekend Gamer: Xbox VR
Without warning, Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition was suddenly available for sale today (June 24, 2025). This is an Xbox Edition of the standalone virtual reality headset Meta Quest 3S, which came out last October.
Weekend Gamer: Summer of Gaming 2025
As the resident Weekend Gamer, I am obligated to mention the craziness of this week in Summer Gaming! Traditionally, since most kids are outside during the summer, game sales are poor… so the gaming industry would announce games in the summer for games to be on sale this holiday or year end.
The Last of Us Season 2 was terrible
I’ve already written two articles on The Last of Us Season 2, because I was very excited about seeing Joel and Ellie again after a strong first season. I was so excited for season 2, that I started playing the video game on PC.
Misfit Corner Comics at Beach Boulevard Flea Market
By now you all know my sad tale of losing about half my comic book collection when I moved to Jacksonville. I have sworn to never buy anything again… but you all knew that wasn’t going to last. I just have to be smart about what goes into my collection and what I can live without. One thing that I know I can’t get back into is collecting toys. Toys takes up so much space, valuable space that I don’t have.
Weekend Gamer: Update (May 2025)
As for the gaming, I finally got around to putting together my Galaga Arcade1Up. I’ve had this thing in the original box for more than a year, because I knew eventually, I had to move to Jacksonville, and it was just easier to leave things in its compact state. When I put it together, I soon realized I did not bring my Pac-Man and Street Fighter II console controllers… so instead of putting the Galaga side art, I prefer the bright yellowness of the Pac-Man side.
Spectra 6
The next generation of e-ink is here, and it is called Spectra 6.
The original Spectra had only three pigments (red, black, white), but over the years, they evolved to Spectra 6, featuring six colors: red, yellow, blue, white, black, and green… and through those combinations can produce about 60,000 colors.
The age of the $80 video games
The age of the $80 video games is here. It was first announced by Nintendo with its pricing for Mario Kart World.
Weekend Gamer: Oblivion Remastered Deluxe
This is just an update on the new The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered game that was released last week (April 22, 2025). The Remastered is doing really well, as the developer Bethesda announced that they have over 4 million players playing the game.
Weekend Gamer: Oblivion Remastered
Bethesda and Xbox shadow dropped the new The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered yesterday (April 22, 2025). Prior to the release, there were a few leaks, showcasing the new Oblivion vs the original from 2006.
Weekend Gamer: The Last of Us Part II
With the new season of The Last of Us airing on HBO a few weeks ago, I’ve decided to finally get around to playing The Last of Us Part II video game, thanks to the game finally being available on PC (release date Apr 3, 2025).
Weekend Gamer: Nintendo Switch 2
Everybody knew the Nintendo Switch 2 was coming… after all, it’s been eight years since the original Switch launched and in the last few years, the original Switch just could not play any modern games. Technically those games do run, but at ‘potato speed’ as the kids call it. I bought a few games that just sucked on the Switch that I gave up on that system when I got the Steam Deck (which was then replaced by the ROG Ally).
Weekend Gamer: Play Anywhere
I’ve been a big fan of Xbox Play Anywhere (XPA) program for a few years now, and was happy to hear from the Game Developers Conference (GDC) in California, that Xbox announced over 1,000 titles (they’re also counting the future titles South of Midnight and Doom: The Dark Ages) are now Xbox Play Anywhere.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows: The Controversy
The best-selling video game franchise, having sold more than 230 million games worldwide, is back with Assassin’s Creed Shadows. This is the fourteenth major Assassin’s Creed game and the setting is in Japan!
