I now have an iPhone Xs
Another piece of levity to lessen the severity or annoyance of losing my car two nights ago. The main reason for going to where we were going, resulting in the accident was to pick up my new iPhone Xs…and … Continue reading

The records I’m setting just keep on coming! I achieved my second perfect month this year, third ever and longest yet because it was my first 31-day month. On to see if June is successful and I have my first … Continue reading
Five hundred days cumulative…finally

Today’s modern idiocy, Sunday 4/14/19 edition
I have yet to write about the cool go-karts at Pinballz Lake Creek but today I experienced one of the new wrinkles smart phones have given us. This one teenager was so busy futzing with the tunes on his phone … Continue reading

RIP Evelyn Berezin
Of all the people I’m writing about lately, Evelyn has had the greatest and most lasting impression or effect on me. She is credited with inventing Word Processing! Unless you didn’t know, my father got into Data Processing (an offshoot … Continue reading
RIP Paul Allen
Paul wasn’t as famous as Bill Gates or Steve Ballmer being the number three guy at Microsoft but he will always remain essential to the history of personal computing. He was also pretty savvy too. Paul left Microsoft in 1982 … Continue reading
Farewell AIM (America Online Instant Messenger)
Tomorrow we say goodbye to AIM. Twenty years of existence is a millennium given the turnover with technology these days. Until cell phones with SMS messaging became ubiquitous, AIM was the way to communicate with friends and family. Now it’s FaceBook…if … Continue reading
The new “alarm clock”
I recently won an iMac at work. Not a bad model at all. It would be nice to utilize the computer in some fashion beyond being an alarm clock but we just lack the space and time. So I cleared … Continue reading

If you haven’t heard by now, Netflix has renewed MST3K for another season since the Return was a success by their mysterious algorithms. Meanwhile, as a proud Kickstarter backer way back when (I chipped in enough to get the Blu-Rays), I had … Continue reading
