  • Grief… This Shit Doesn’t Get Easier.

    I got a package from my parents containing some stuff of my late brothers. These are my thoughts.

  • HotType by Jeff Jarvis Is Out August 20th!

    I’m very excited for the newest book by Jeff Jarvis to come out on the 20th of August… HotType.

  • 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.…

  • Have I Finished Mourning Or Just Accepted It?

    My thoughts on Bret’s passing and how I’m in the acceptance stage.

  • 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,…

    Loss is a tough thing to deal with. Whether it be the loss of a pet or worse the loss of a family member. Even non-death losses are tough. One minute your fine, the next minute you’re a complete sobbing wreck. Mourning the loss is a natural thing. But that being said, it’s not easy.…

  • Bret

    My reflections on the sudden loss of his adventurous half-brother Bret, grappling with grief and searching for closure after his unexpected passing in a hiking accident.

  • 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…
