Don’t EVER Buy A Consumer-Grade Dell Laptop
During the pandemic I needed a laptop. They were hard to find. So even though I knew that Dell’s consumer-grade laptops had issues I ordered one. Man, this was a mistake! Luckily I got a 4 year extended warrenty with it, because I’ve used it. Four bad RAM chips, one bad SSD. It’s been truely…

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!!!!

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.

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…
