Machine Shop Tools

by Jeff Hester · Feb 8, 2021

This is not my typical post. My father-in-law passed recently, leaving a veritable treasure trove of metalworking and woodworking machines, tools and accessories collected over decades. He had some great machinery, all meticulously cared for. And it’s all for sale. I’m listing it here to help my wife and her family figure out what the […]

10 Albums That Made an Impact

10 Albums That Made an Impact

by Jeff Hester · May 2, 2020

You’ve seen the challenge. It goes like this: The rules: In no particular order, choose 10 albums, one per day, which made an impact (at some point in your life) on you. Post cover, no explanation, and nominate someone each day to do the challenge. My friend Jason tagged me, and the result is this […]

Putting BigBlueBall into the WayBackMachine

Putting BigBlueBall into the WayBackMachine

by Jeff Hester · Mar 16, 2020

In my last post, I talked a bit about the history of BigBlueBall.com. For shits and grins, I popped into the WayBackMachine to travel back through time and see what the site looked like “back when.” Some of the captures on the WayBackMachine are missing a few bits and pieces — some CSS here and […]

Project: Revival

by Jeff Hester · Mar 7, 2020

Decades ago (back in the late 90’s) I was looking for a domain name to use for a portfolio website. Of course, even in the late 90s, many of the “good” names were already registered. I ended up going with BigBlueBall.com, as it reminded me of the descriptions of planet Earth as seen from outer […]

20,501 Days Down, 14,152 Days to Go

20,501 Days Down, 14,152 Days to Go

by Jeff Hester · May 16, 2018

We tend to think of our lives in terms of the number of trips we’ve made around the sun. By that count, I’m on my 57th trip as I write this. Although time seems to fly by faster as we grow older, years are still rather abstract. The years of a way of sneaking up […]

Running Half Marathons (for People Who Hate Running)

Running Half Marathons (for People Who Hate Running)

by Jeff Hester · May 1, 2018

I ran my first half marathon as a teenager back in Indiana. It was sponsored by the local McDonalds, who fed us something they claimed were pancakes. Apparently in the 1970s, we didn’t get that carb-loading 30 minutes before race time wasn’t very effective. I don’t remember my time, but it took me a couple […]

Countdown to Mount Shasta

Countdown to Mount Shasta

by Jeff Hester · Apr 10, 2018

I like to set big goals. That’s partly the reason I originally created the Six-Pack of Peaks Challenge. Creating a goal, and developing a plan to achieve that goal helps keep me focused on the things that matter to me. This year, one of my big goals is to climb Mount Shasta. At 14,179 feet above […]
