This must be Thursday. I never could get the hang of Thursdays. Douglas Adams Sorry for the radio silence for the past little bit. Life has been keeping me busy, but in all honestly mostly I’ve just been a little burned out and tired. Not “burnt to ash”…

It’s my birthday. I’ve always felt uneasy about my birthday for a variety of reasons – it feels like a lot of my life’s bigger emotional upheavals have happened within a few weeks of the day. After a while, I actually started planning to take myself on…

AI gets talked about a lot these days. Like everyone else, I have Opinions™. I don’t want this to turn into a blog about AI, so I’m going to do my best to roll my thoughts up here. What are we talking about? The term AI is thrown around a lot, but is…

I have never heard as many people avoiding upgrading to the new macOS, this late into the release cycle (we’re up to 26.2), as I have with this release. Between the new UI being an accessibility nightmare and just actively weird, plus it all seeming to be…

Sorry for the radio silence the past little bit. Even though I recognized I was going into a fallow period, I was still trying to get something out at least once a month, and I totally missed November. It’s not just the writing – I’m behind on my RSS feeds…

Jay Springett has a nice piece over on his site called “Just Like Stuff“, and I appreciated the comment about not arguing with people about anything on the internet: I’ve had a hard rule for almost twenty years, related to, but separate from, not posting…
