Here is a non-tech related fun fact about me. I’m not the best chef. I can make the basics but if you want something even remotely interesting, I’m going to put in a lot of effort for a very ok result. I’m not very good at looking at 5 ingredients and saying “oh I can … Continue reading “The Thing About AI…”

Short blog post but I wanted to post it. Green Day’s new record, “Saviors” is awesome. It has it’s political moments, but doesn’t quite reach “American Idiot”, “21st Century Breakdown”, or “Revolution Radio” levels but I’m fine with that. It hits where it needs to, to make an impact and it’s fun where it needs … Continue reading ““Saviors” is awesome!”

Starting Thursday, I’ll be on my longest work break in a couple of years. It’ll be 6 days off. That’s probably a different blog post for a different time.

When I was growing up, I had a really cool job. I was a team attendant* for the Cleveland Cavaliers. … Continue reading “How did I Operate?”

Last week I posted my list of default apps. One of the prompts was where you keep your contacts. I simply use the contacts app built into iOS and MacOS. However, I noted that I needed to clean it up. I’ve spent some time over in Android-Land and switched phones a handful of times and … Continue reading “Cleaning Up”

Inspired by Chris Coyier’s blog post, here are my default apps. There are a couple of differences between my work and personal environments. I’ll try to note those. 📨 Mail Client: Work: Outlook. Personal: iCloud/Gmail…both web clients…mostly Gmail. 📮 Mail Server: Work: Exchange…I guess? Personal: Apple/Google 📝 Notes: Work: OneNote. Personal: Notes app ✅ To-Do: Work: Microsoft To-Do.

I don’t watch a ton of Netflix these days but this month, Prometheus was added. It’s a prequel to the original Alien. It came out in 2012 when I was at Bowling Green and not catching many movies in theaters. So it got by me but I really like the Alien movies. My memory was … Continue reading “I don’t know, I liked Prometheus”

Interop is a project between the major web browser vendors to help create web standards between their products. I was’t building websites during the late 90s and early 2000s when there were major differences between browsers, but that doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate the effort to come together to help create a standard those of … Continue reading “Interop 2024 proposals that I like”

I’ve been working on a website for some time and while it is still very much in its beta stage, but it technically exists and can be used so…why not tell you about it.
