Hello to both readers out there! Welcome to the newest revision of ChewyKolchuk.com. There are some cool features with this theme that is currently in place, and while I’m still working out a few bugs, I’ll leave it up as is so you can give me feedback if you want to.

Notice that there is a Lead Article, as well as Featured Articles below it. Those will be the most recent Lead and Featured Articles in chronological order, but know that not all posts will be Lead or Featured, so if you just want to see most recent posts, then click the Recent Post tab above this window. This Lead Article window is supposed to have an image attached to it, but I haven’t used the specific code that makes it all work, so I’m working on getting it up and in place

Well, here’s how that works.  For a long time now, I’ve been pretty lax on posting to the site, and recent history hasn’t shown any different.  However, let’s review the tape from last week, shall we?
Firstly, we’ve had some cold-ish weather recently, and one night, when there was a good temperature inversion and it was [...]

Here is my brain dump from the last little while:

Buckethead is an interesting fellow.  He releases something silly like 5-10 albums a year.  Granted, they [...]

Hey there crimestoppers!
I was eating a schnitzel sandwich last Thursday when I heard a firecracker go off, or maybe it was the ice cracking under my feet.  Funny thing is, I wasn’t hiking on a glacier, nor was I playing with explosives.  No, I was eating my dinner.  So when I heard the noise, my [...]

Guess what? It’s Mastodon!

Okay, so I got one element working. That’s the “featured content” feature, which features a given post by allowing you to upload a large, custom image that suits the aforementioned featured content.
Gonna try some others in here to see how/when they affect each other. See you in a bit.

Yep…haven’t posted in 2 months. Finally got The Email from Dudeman saying, “You suck, post or die!” And since I was bored with the old layout, I decided to change it up again. The next few posts are going to be tests of the Standard Operating Procedure of this new layout.
There you [...]

Here’s another test. Getting images into posts from iPhone.

This post is a hybrid.  I posted the photo successfully from the phone, but now I’m editing it from the computer.  I like to have the images be centered, so if you see a photo image that is aligned to the left, then assume it’s from the [...]

My brother and I went hiking around the Mendenhall Glacier last Thursday.  Here are some photos from that.  Some of them (maybe most of them) aren’t all that spectacular, but they are all icons from my youth, since I spent most days each summer riding my bike around there.  Anyway, please to enjoy…

We went disc golfing  a couple days ago.  I’d been golfing in Seattle before, but I’d never been to an 18-hole course, just the 9-hole ones.  Or, ONE.  You know how normal golf courses are nice and manicured, with beautiful views and all that?  Yeah…this is Alaska, folks, there will be none of that pansy [...]
