  • Lock Your Credit Reports

    Lock Your Credit Reports

    I meant to write this suggestion out when I was told by my wife that we should do this. Lock your credit reports so that people can’t f- with it. This is more important now than ever with DOGE and the Muskrats rummaging through the federal government. I still can’t believe that Musk has been…

  • Boycott American Companies, Just Know That I Am A Good American!

    Boycott American Companies, Just Know That I Am A Good American!

    I can’t let DJT and Musk define who I am. I am a true American. I don’t stand for what the current POTUS is doing and how a non-American is destroying our country. It’s shameful, horrible, reprehensible. I see the outpouring of support around the world for Ukraine and our “leader” cozying up to the…

  • Sharing Between Protocols

    Sharing Between Protocols

    So, I’ve wanted to figure out the best way to utilize both the AT-Protocol and the ActivityPub protocol and how they can talk to each other. There’s an app/service called Brid.gy on both ActivityPub (Mastodon/Fediverse) and on the AT-Protocol. What it does is nothing less than awesome. It creates accounts both ways so people on…

  • Blog Questions Challenge

    Blog Questions Challenge

    I was challenged by my good buddy Simon Cox to participate in the Blog Question Challenge. I accepted. Why Did You Start Blogging In The First Place? The Blog Question Challenge encourages bloggers to reflect on their experiences and share their insights. Good question. I’ve been blogging since the early days. But not really on…

  • My 2024 Recap

    My 2024 Recap

    So many people are doing 2024 recaps, so I figured I’d write one too. 2024 was a weird year. That’s even an understatement. At the beginning business was extremely slow. It rather sucked. Most of the business I had this year pushed off to the 2nd quarter or later. Thank goodness for ongoing maintenance and…

  • Happy Holidays!

    Happy Holidays!

    Happy Holidays everyone! It’s been a great holiday season so far here. Christmas Eve-Eve to Christmas Eve my wife, son, and I went on our annual trip to Hershey, PA to go to the Hershey Lodge for some swimming and some chocolate goodness. Now we’re in the in-between week. It’s still Hanukkah, but the kiddo…

  • Drones Over Doylestown!!!!

    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

    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?

    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

    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…
