Drones Over Doylestown!!!!
There have been reports of drones over New Jersey quite a bit lately. The NJ governor has declared a limited state of emergency grounding drones and the FBI is involved. The military says it’s not them. And a congress-critter is saying they’re from Iran. 😵💫 It’s been all over the news and my tech podcasts…

Post-Thanksgiving Capitalism Buying
I’m being pretty well behaved this post-Thanksgiving-Capitalism-Buying-Days time. I got a few needed things. But hardly anything that my ADHD wanted me to buy. Though, the season isn’t over and Cyber Monday is still coming! Argh! Wish me luck and wheel power! 😵💫😜🤣

Do You Pick Up Random Phone Calls?
Does anyone ever pick up random phone calls? I sure don’t. Because about 99% are spam. Heck most of the texts I get are spam too. So why would I pick up the phone and talk to a spammer if I could text with them. 🤣😵💫😒😎 Heck half the time I don’t pick up the…

Harper, A Grammar Checking Tool Was Purchased By Automattic
Okay the acquisition of Harper by Automattic (the parent company of WordPress.com) makes actual sense. Harper, a grammar checking tool, will hopefully be integrated into all of the Automattic and .org (here’s hoping) properties. Unlike some of the other acquisitions that Matt Mullenweg and Automattic have purchased (ie. Simplenote, Pocket Casts, and Tumbler) this makes…

You Know The Country Is Messed Up When You Can’t Tell What’s Satire And Reality
The Onion bought what’s left of Alex Jones’ Info Wars property. That’s great news. But what isn’t is Trump’s cabinet picks. They’re like something you’d read in the freaking onion. Ugh. And these people Trump picked aren’t just not qualified for the roles they are chose to fill, they have troubled pasts. Like AG-nominee Matt…

I’m Beside Myself Today
I’m beside myself today. I pretty much cleared my day of meetings and just did what work I could muster. I can’t believe that Trump won. But then again, what’s with the Democrats going to the center? Obama won because he spoke to progressive causes. Our two party system is a wreck. And I can’t…

Worried About Election Day 2024
I’m so nervous about Tuesday. The 5th of November in America might be a triumph or a disaster. God, I hope Kamala Harris & Tim Walz win. If not I’m scared from the future of our country. It’s not just Trump, it’s Vance, it’s the power they have to shape the future of the country…

Rest In Peace Sandy. I Love You
Today (10/30/2024) I found out that my pseudo-grandmother died. She was ~96 and lived a full and amazing life. She was my Grandpa’s sweetheart up until he died at age 80. She had three loves-of-her-life. Here first husband, Lloyd, Norman (My Grandpa), and Bob (who died a few years ago). I’ve always tried to stay…

Last Night I Saw The Aurora Borealis
I saw the Aurora Borealis from the front yard of my house last night in the northern suburbs of Philadelphia. It has happened before, but I missed it. I didn’t this time. It was faint by the naked-eye, but my iPhone camera caught it. Bucket list item checked off.

BarCamp Philly 2024
It’s not the same without my friend Reed Gustow, who passed at the end of August, but the show must go on. BarCamp Philly, which is happening today, has been going strong for 15 years. I love this unconference, because where else can you learn about knitting and AI at the same event. LOL I’ve…
