In a last 2024 spurt of Jim Groom #BlogOrDie spirit (hey, bava, where is THE post on that?) more of a small but interesting observation I had (gulp) a month or go on a visit to my doctor. I have to say as well how much I appreciate finding Dr B. While the Canada healthcare […]
Gotta love a spontaneous series of posts. This began with Bryan Alexander sharing his late 2024 podcast listening habits -kudos for both his non-diminishing blogs style and attributed reuse photos, sometimes mine. And this is not his first of this topic. This was picked up perhaps in the socials and chain blogged by Doug Belshaw […]
Be giving away everything I’ve tossed on to the web for not only free, but without really any requirements, I have mastered opposite of a knack for web entrepreneurship. I refuse to use that word that turns money into a verb than a longer noun. Here is my latest version of un-capitalistic strategies This is […]

I’ve got an associative trails journey to lay out here, all of which is made possible by the free, open web, the people who build onto it chunk by chunk, and the sheer joy of exploration. A highlight for me from last month’s OEGlobal 2024 Conference […]
Like a breath of fresh air comes the human created, not machine text extruded, words of Jay Hoffman’s post on The Free Web. That’s the thoughts of someone pounded out on keys, on an individual owned and managed web site, something I do not have to scrape through ads and pop overs to read. Fresh. […]
Punful titles for $200, Alec. What is the word to describe when something tastes really, really good? Savor the question. And get ready for more dusty old web era meandering.
