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.
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…

I can’t explain it. I’m going back to hosting my own instance. It’ll be just for me and I’ll have complete control over the whole instance. Managing Masto.ai with Stux was fun and all, but the responsibility became too much as more and more people were complaining about spam and what not. I still wish…

The Block Theme (Twenty Twenty-Four)…
It’s a completely different way of thinking about WordPress and how to develop. I’m still on the fence about what I think about Gutenberg/Block Editing vs. Elementor, but for a simple site like this one. Guess what? It works! This is site is my testing ground.

Dropped Into Twitter
I dropped into Twitter/X during WordCamp US 2023, because most of what was going on was being documented over in Musk-ville. Much to my chagrined. I’ve now dropped in daily for a quick peek to see what’s going on. Still not spending to much time there. More people are moving to alternatives, which include Mastodon,…
