Today the Best Dog Ever* turns eleven or as Lorne Green would calculate “that’s 80 for you and me” — depending on your calculation. I always went with human years * 7 plus 3. I math digress. Felix is older but not old. I adopted him in April 2016 from the Humane Society in Payson, […]
Apparently writers with orders of magnitude more readers than I are penning saga length whinging rage posts about how terrible technology is. Oh they keep moving the buttons on me! Teams Sucks. Google Search is junk. Technology is terrible. I don’t counter the disgust of bad software interfaces (oh reminds me I have a post […]
Getting rid of crap is very satisfying. Especially large piles of stuff that maybe once had value, but now just reeks with the stench of rotting, wet discard food. Pressing the dump lever was quite easy. In fact, after dumping, I went on, and forgot that I had done this. Done what? It was actually […]
I feel father comfortable swimming in HTML and writing the stuff by hand (I thought at one time everyone would learn to write HTML). It never tops being refreshing to learn one more trick. This started with a Mastodon post by Bracken Mosbacker: It reminded me that I have many times in the last few […]
Oh my, the Ai sauce is oozing from Google’s search, for which many are predicting the Fu of Google Search is gone. Yeah, it’s a mess, but frankly, I still have my fleet of hone bookmarklet gizmos and customized search engines that I still get effective use out of. Quite a few of the wrenches […]

Given most have left the technopastoral garden for the stream (Look our Mike Caulfield, incoming trackback pings from here), I’m given to wonder of how we swim there. Its a side venture to the old trope quote of giving fish vs teaching how to fish (I once spun in the fish nuggets effect, but that’s […]
One of the Mastodon new user bumps is getting your head around the extra layer of your name or handle being doubled with the place you call home, both a positive for appreciating federation but maybe a complexity in unraveling names and links. This also comes into play for those building tools, e.g. it gets […]
Images of text are not useful when all you can do is look at them. How can you get text out of something like this if you need a chunk of it to put to use? Go ahead, put your cursor there and try to grab a chunk. I have a current project where a […]
The internet is big enough I can nearly always find any answer when my software does not do what I want it to do. I know video guru Andy Rush my snicker but I use Apple’s iMovie for all my video editing. It’s been years, maybe a decade since I used Final Cut Pro (so […]
