It’s been a while since I got heated up about catfishing, the bizarre phenomena where apparently groups of poor folks in third world countries find a way to scam, lonely people via fake social media profiles using my photos (when they tire of using Alec) to round out their fake persona. It’s not because anything […]
At my November checkup my doctor did the same routines he has done 4 times a year for the last 5 years I’ve visited, but this time he came up with something new. “I hear a heart murmur.” Murmur? Is that like a heart having a speech impediment? I recalled listening to my Dr’s explanations […]
I’m getting ready for my February travel adventure, a month working with Antonio Vantaggiato at Universidad del Sagrado Corazón in San Juan, Puerto Rico. On thing I will be doing is co-teaching his course Nuevos Medios Digitales y Redes Sociales – INF 115. IN fact, I am doing my “assignment” since he runs a Feed […]

Ain’t the the first time I lost my head, likely not the last. DS106 is an infectious lovely parasite that for a few of us… well at least me, is something I cannot …
A cowboy made of snow showed up on my deck on January 6. He was not much of a smiler. Over the next 11 days, Ole Grumpy (as I called ) him, lost his clothes, then blew up in weight (from a later snow), but then started wasting away. By yesterday morning, he was gone. […]
It’s not the first time I lost my head, hopefully not the last. But DS106 is an infectious lovely parasite that for a few of us… well at least me, is something I cannot shake. Heck it got me buying a poncho on Amazon to play my part. I’ve had a blast doing up nine, […]
