    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’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…

  • Sad Day Today

    Today is when a bunch of us are saying goodbye to a good friend and pillar of the community today, who died suddenly at the end of August. It’s fitting that it’s raining and yuck out today. He will be missed terribly not just by me but by the community as a whole. RIP dear…

    I Will Never Forget This Day In 2001

    I remember September 11, 2001 like it was yesterday. It was a beautiful cloudless day, like today. I was a sophomore at the University of Delaware. I remember thinking the whole event seemed like we were in a Tom Clancy novel. But we weren’t. It was reality — real life. I’m going to keep this…

    Remembering Reed

    Reed was a friend of mine. He was caring and always willing to lend a helping hand. He was very active in the Philly Tech/Photo community. The loss of Reed will be felt for years to come!
