I’ve been full on the Get Federated train, and have been most happy with having this WordPress blog going beyond just auto posting posts to the Mastodon but blogging about being a fully fediverse resident entity (if you will) via the ActivityPub plugin. It’s challenging as the expectation for most folks (including me and services […]
So many posts in my head still not written, and as usual I pile up the list and attend to the newest arrow in my thought quiver.And I loathe writing something the first days of January that reeks of New Years vows- sure enough this is in the Already Been Blogged Department (hereto after referred […]
I will take the castigation for my ongoing use of Google Chrome as a web browser in 2026, mainly because of all the work flows and systems I have come to use over the years. One of these, maybe the most precious, is the one that distracts me from tasks. That;s right, because when most […]
It took 9 years but yesterday’s wrap of 2025 clocked a perfect year of my flickr Daily Photo habit (the 18th spin of the game). Put a stake in the ground, I’ve got a 365/365, this year I hit 1.000, well worth a year end snow roll with Felix. It was worth the effort to dust […]
Why not? Almost the last day of the year, the temperatures close to 0º? It was high time to rev up the CogDogDrone and take a fly around. My lack of practice shows, every flight is re-remembering the controls. I get a cameo as does the abandoned Chrysler Le Baron in the back field. No […]
This year marks my 55th year living with Type 1 diabetes (I can think of at least one interested reader on this topic). It’s always something to address every several times a day, I am lucky to have gotten this far, always offering thanks to Drs Banting and Best. The “technology” of diabetes care when […]
This is the time of year for bloggers to be doing their year end deep reflection recaps, tallying up the numbers of posts, comments, and meticulously charting their data trends for how many eyeballs glanced at their pages. Or its making a list of the “best”posts from the year or how many books, films, music […]
I’ve been pretty happy with my discovery of using archive.today as a means to jump and read stuff hidden behind subscription and paywalls even niftier with my bookmarklet tool. Knowing that its likely to be ripped down, I accepted it was to maybe be shortlived as Publishers have to bucks and the muscle, as reported […]
As Forrest Gump never said, “Momma told me life is like a box of yams…” Nope that does not work, just the morning brain on free association. For those not reading ariound here before, my love of taking and sharing photos is not centered in making money or getting anything from my photos, and this […]
I’m so podcast old I can remember having to explain what they were. While I have future posts about podcast making, always always the gate to the craft is by listening and learning from other podcasters. My listening is nearly always while in the vehicle for doing errands in town (I cant remember te last […]
