We Survived A Huge Thanksgiving!
Well, I survived a 28 person 3 dog Thanksgiving. What’s more, it was my, now-11-year-old’s birthday too. We went to my wife’s parents house and even brought the 65lb Airedoodle with us!!!! Did I mention 2 other dogs were there too. The dogs had a great time as did the humans. Thanksgiving is always overwhelming…

BarCamp Philly 14 (2023) A Recap
Today was BarCamp Philly (the 14th edition). Once again it was held at the Penn’s Wharton School’s Jon Huntsman Hall. It’s a beautiful building and a great facility to have an event as big as BarCamp Philly. The fun thing about BarCamp is that none of the talks are scheduled before hand and the community…

Browser Bloat Doesn’t Help When Your Dell Has Crap For Components
I think I figured out the issue with my Dell and how my browsers keep locking up on me. Other than being a box with a bunch of subpar components, the browsers are bloated as f**k as well. Just restarting the browser helps. Sometimes a clean computer restart helps as well. With the speed of…

Five Years Since The Massacre At The Tree Of Life Synagogue
I remember where I was when I heard the horrible news. I was standing at the McNeill Science Center, at what was then called, the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia (it’s now St. Joseph’s), talking to a colleague at WordCamp Philly. WordCamp Philly is a regional conference about all things WordPress. When I heard,…

I Wish I Could Have Said This Was Planned.
I just realized, yes it wasn’t planned, that my main identity on social is now s3th.me. It’s my Mastodon server, my Threads username, and my Bluesky username. I’d like to say I planned it this way. But nope. Just kind of worked out! What social network are you all using now that T2/Pebble is gone…

Mastodon Has Been A Great Alternative To Twitter/X
In my opinion, except for going to a WordPress conference (WordCamp US) where everyone was using Twitter/X, Mastodon has been a great alternative. During the horrific events of October 7th in Israel through today, I’ve been able to keep up with everything that I’ve needed to in that region with relative ease. I’ve also been…

Israel Has The Right To Exist… So Does Palestine
Israel has the right to exist as does Palestine. But this war and overall lack of Peace is NEVER going end if extremist elements on both sides aren’t taken out of power. What Hamas did was beyond abhorrent and horrid in every way. Israel has the right to defend itself. But Israel shouldn’t go about…

It’s Not Getting Any Better
What’s going on in Israel and Palestine is out of control. Hamas needs to be taken out. But Israel doesn’t need to take out all of Gaza to do this. I’m hurting from what happened in Israel to the innocent Israelis. But I’m hurting for the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank who are…

It’s Time To Step Back And Take A Breath
It’s been a hell of a week. My heart aches for all the lost lives in Israel and in Gaza. How could something this coordinated by a terrorist group be carried out against a country with such a strong top-notch national security infrastructure. How could have Shin Bet or Mossad missed this? Something seems off.…
