Since I revamped my desktop last year, I’ve revised it more than a few times. Playing with graphics is kinda like music to me. It’s a creative outlet that takes my mind to a different place - a perfect distraction! Well. A few weeks back, I simplified my desktop and love it. I sp … | Continue reading
Something inside me makes me want to entertain. When I was 6 or 7-years old (a long, long time ago), I performed at a local movie theatre’s Saturday matinée. Lip-syncing Blue Suede Shoes to a group of Elvis movie fans, wigglin’ around like Elvis himself. I got a huge response fro … | Continue reading
I’ll go with the clear-headed stuttering old guy who takes his job seriously and cares about people over the only slightly younger narcissist who lies, cheats, and kinda sucked at the job, thank you. Just my opinion as another (slightly younger) old guy... | Continue reading

Smarts homes and digital assistants are great but one needs to stay a step ahead of ’em. Back when I got real sick a few months ago, I was bedridden at home for 8 days before finally deciding to go to the ER. I doubt I would have survived those days at home had it not been for my … | Continue reading
inspiration from way back If you know me, you know I love the blues - the simplicity and honesty of just telling it like it is, nothing complicated. You can feel the pain. Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel, Like I've been tied to the whippin' post. Tied to the whippin' post, tie … | Continue reading

It all started with John’s post, 2022 in Titles. I’ve always been a sucker for word clouds and the one John made is cool! Thankfully, he shared a link to the python command line word cloud generator he used. Not only do I appreciate him handing me a wonderful resource to use at t … | Continue reading

I’m just repeating something said in the past as a reminder to myself, hopefully inspiring. “The artist knowing his demise is imminent, reaches deep into his heart keenly aware that it’s still beating.” ✍️ ️ | Continue reading

In a recent post about my buddy John, I pointed out ‘something really special’ I found on his blog’s sidebar. Why was it special? It was fun and who doesn’t need a little fun these days! John often writes about Wordpress (and blogging in general). I have no doubt John was having … | Continue reading
Isn’t it ironic? The headline got my attention but seeing it juxtaposed with the intrusive promotion below kinda took me over the top. After batting down that first ad overlay, uncovering the largest banner ad I’d ever seen, I see this! I never read the article, thank you. Whatev … | Continue reading

John wrote about a cool new feature in iOS 16 which I really appreciated - it was the first I’ve heard about it. I had some fun playing with it on my iPhone. Could be an excellent creative tool and like John, I’m hoping it becomes part of iPadOS too. Thanks John! | Continue reading

From Amit: “I wish there was a technology that could capture the smell you are experiencing...” Cool idea and by the way, it’s how well you write that matters - keeps me coming back anyway. From Ray: “...think of total silence as an auditory experience of a different kind” when … | Continue reading
My buddy John is now back to school as a teacher in Scotland. His summer redux includes a wonderful video collage of summer photos - done quite well to music by Kevin MacLeod. Nice. Then I discovered something on the sidebar (gawd, I love when that happens) - John’s got another … | Continue reading

Just this morning, a nudge from a pinboard friend reminds me of a familiar netizen’s projects, particularly Status Cafe. I just gots to explore it again! Damn, this seems awfully familiar to me.

There’s more than the amazing collage that meets the eye. I’m still exploring the artist’s in depth details, a long list of links pertaining to all the slogans, memes, and images used in the installation. I wasn’t going to admit it but I did sing along with it too. In an era of … | Continue reading
Over the last month, I’ve been working on the resurrection of bulltown. It’s a new take on content from the bulltown archives, circa 1997-2004 inspired by so many sites I’ve encountered recently full of the retro style and spirit of the web of the late 1990s. I have a new appreci … | Continue reading
