Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
On Friday, I sponsored a guest post by Carver Eastdoor. As I explained in the comments, Carver Eastdoor was the faerie name given to me by Teagan, when the name-choosing-chart rendered me Flora Stargazer. Of course, several times when I tried to type Eastdoor, it hit the page as “Eadstoor” due to my fat fingers.... Continue Reading →
Just a quick update on the “Like” button and it is mostly good news! I updated my still-open issue with the Like button on Tuesday. Thanks to all of you who added comments to my post on Monday. The WordPress engineer who received my email agreed that, even though he could not recreate the problem,... Continue Reading →
If you’ve been to the No Facilities bar before, you won’t be surprised to find a good fit between our two main characters and Linda G. Hill’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘critic(al).’ Use it any way you’d like. Have fun!” If we were having a...

We’ve established that I would rather drive the nine hours to Pittsburgh than fly, but I wouldn’t rule out being transported there when that becomes an option. Yes, I said “when” that becomes an option. I think the technology of Star Trek is only a few discoveries away. Impossible, you say? Well. Travel back in... Continue Reading →

I’ve been promising the voices in my head that they could have a crack at Linda G. Hill’s SoCS prompt. They were pretty mad at me when I co-opted the prompt for a bar conversation last week. I’m going to give today’s prompt to them, but I’m not sure where we’re heading. Your Friday prompt... Continue Reading →
I know from comments I’ve received on previous posts that I have some followers who are not fans of Apple. I’m not so much a fan of Apple, as I am a developer who has to work with Apple as we create iPhone/iPad Apps for our employees. I’m not trying to convince you to... Continue Reading →
I’m pretty sure there’s an actual thing called resource theory. Maybe resources. I’m sure someone has lots to say about the way people use resources, as individuals and as a civilization. It’s not my field of expertise. That, in case you’re interested, is information management…yeah, I thought so. I came here from a technical blog... Continue Reading →
