Bret’s Celebration Of Life East Coast Edition
Just sitting here at 11:18pm after getting home from little brother’s Celebration of Life ceremony and listing to U2 (who he loved) having a beer, tearing up. It was nice to see his old friends and family friends who knew him. His best friend from childhood, Greg, spoke and and gave me a big hug.…

Finding The Right VPN Is Harder Than It Looks
Glad I went IVPN for my VPN of choice. Thanks to Ashville Charlie (on Mastodon) for the suggestion. I like that they don’t ask for an email and keep things as anonymous as possible. I was going to go with ExpressVPN but they are owned by an Israeli company that has ties to the IDF,…

Every Morning
Every morning I wake up and the first thing that pops into my head, most of the time very briefly, is: fuck Bret died. Sometimes I cry. Sometimes I just think about what a fantastic guy he was. Sometimes I think about the what ifs. I know the last one isn’t fair to do to…

WordPress 7.0 Is Out!
WordPress version 7.0 is out. Wow, I’ve been on WordPress for so long! These new features look great, even without real time collaboration. To be honest, I never really understood why RTC needed to be in WordPress when so many other tools have it. Google Docs has it so many companies will probably just use…

AI Websites All Look Alike
There’s always been a look to a WordPress Website. To those who are looking you can usually tell what site runs on WordPress and what site doesn’t. The trick for most web designers is to make your WordPress website not look “WordPressy.” Now we have another look. The AI-generated Website look. I see these sites…

Fun With NFC Cards
I’ve been messing around with NFC cards and trying to figure out if I should just self-roll my own virtual business card (like Popl.co and Dot). I’m a big business networker. I’ve been an entrepreneur for more than 18 years. (Yikes!) I do love a good business card, but I’m also intrigued, and have been…
