    Happy Tuesday, Which Feels Like A Monday

    Happy Tuesday! For me it feels like a Monday, because yesterday was Yom Kippur. It was a great day of reflection and evaluating what I need to do in my life to make things work more smoothly. I also evaluated who I want to be as a person, a father, a husband, a business owner,…

  • Reflections – Yom Kippur 2023

    Reflections – Yom Kippur 2023

    This might be a new tradition on Yom Kippur. Journaling my thoughts about life, what I can do better, and anything else. I always have a hard time figuring out what to do on this holiday. I’ve struggled with my religious identity for a while. I’m a Jew. With a name like Seth Goldstein, it’s…

  • NFC/QR Business Cards. A Better Way Than Paper Cards

    NFC/QR Business Cards. A Better Way Than Paper Cards

    I’m a big fan of these new-fangled NFC/QR code business cards. Their are so many vendors out there, I’ve tried three. I first tried V1ce, to be honest the name doesn’t really help them. But it worked decent. But people were reluctant to download my card coming from a site called V1ce for obvious reasons.…

  • Catching up on the show Suits

    Catching up on the show Suits

    My take with almost the first season done. 1. Meghan Markle – besides being beautiful is a great actress2. The acting is really good3. The stories and the overarching story is really intriguing and not TOO stressful for my anxiety4. The characters are relatable5. If I saw Suits in the 90’s/00’s when I was in…

  • Thinking About The Open Web

    Thinking About The Open Web

    Apparently India assassinated a prominent Sikh Canadian activist on Canadian soil. Of course Canada is pissed. When Canadians went to Facebook to post about it, Facebook took their posts down because it went against Indian law. This is why we need decentralized social media. The centralized players have way too much power. With an open…

    Mullenweg Needs To Act Better

    Zack Katz, fellow WordPresser, wrote a great post in response to Automattic and WordPress Co-Founder Matt Mullenweg’s recent behavior. I don’t want to weigh in too much, nor do I want to rehash something that’s being rehashed everywhere. I do want to say is that Matt needs to watch what he says if he doesn’t…

    The Idea Of My Blog Being Federated On The Fediverse

    The idea of my blog being federated on the Fediverse and being able to have people follow the posts directly is really cool. I just wish I could figure out how to get the ActivityPub plug-in to work. Doh! 🥸

  • 22 Years Ago Today

    22 Years Ago Today

    I will never forget today 22 years ago. It was a beautiful day, not a cloud in the sky. I was a sophomore at the University of Delaware. I was living in the Gilbert residence hall. I had just arrived at the Russell dining hall which was next door. Getting my food I heard that…

  • Well That Was Predictable.

    Well That Was Predictable.

    Yesterday my alma mater, the University of Delaware, played Penn State in Happy Valley at PSU’s Beaver Stadium. It was the first time the two teams ever met. PSU is Division 1 and UD is Division 1 AA. So a subdivision. And regardless of how strong the Fighting Blue Hens’ roster seems this year, they…
