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. 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…

WordCamp Philly is a regional conference about all things WordPress. When I heard,…

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.…

I’m Not Heartless
I stand with Israel. But that doesn’t mean I like Netanyahu or what’s been going on with Palestinians. Do I wish there was a way to bring Hamas to justice without bombing the shit out of Gaza? YES!!!!!! But, Hamas NEEDS to be brought to justice and be eradicated. Hamas’ goal isn’t to just get…
