Well, well, well… I wonder what life is like for people who didn’t read fifty books this year. Hmm?What’s that?Oh yeah, I’ve done that. That, and more.Before December even started, no less. Mind you, slam-dunking a stack in November went a long way toward wrapping up my self-imposed challenge — see the bottom of this…
As of this writing, I have five active email addresses. That I can recall. There are quite possibly more I’m not remembering at the moment.That’s a lot. It’s entirely too many.The thing is, I didn’t mean for that to happen, the list just kind of naturally grew as things changed and came up.Now I’m trying…
It was a month of loading myself up with books — physical, ebooks and audiobooks — but ending up not getting to many of them for myriad reasons (although, okay, a lot of it was falling for a new comedy podcast). Here’s how it shook out: Read Things From the Flood – Simon Stålenhag Small…
Not quite keeping up with the pace I was hoping for, but perhaps that shouldn’t be too surprising, given a wife going back to teaching and a teen going back to school, so we’re all getting used to the new norm for the next nine months. While September does offer a chance at refocusing, it…
I’m testing out a new, very well reviewed email service. The first thing I wanted to do when I signed up for it was to see if people could actually see it, since with my current (problematic) email service, I’d seem to initially end up going into peoples’ spam folders more often than not. So…
Back in February, I found I couldn’t continue using my (then) current email service (let’s call it Service 1), because while it was excellent as far as performance, reliability, tech support, and the slick UI (user interface) went, the head of the Swiss-based company praised… well, look, I don’t want to get political… but let’s…
A few months back, I read that microplastics have been found to be in chewing gum. And not just the mass produced stuff, where one could reasonably expect that producers may cut corners on quality of ingredients to keep cranking out their offerings, but microplastics were found even in the likes of more natural brands…
So it’s a wrap. Looking back on the last 30 days, and in no particular order, here are my thoughts on my first crack at Blaugust: I can manage to write every dayThis is a big one. I managed to pull off a few years of doing something creative every day, before I totally dropped…
I’m pretty happy with the number of books I managed to get in this month, what with focusing on Blaugust as much as I did (typically taking an hour+ out of each day to post something, which could otherwise have been used for other things including reading), and with our pretty slammed schedule road-tripping out…
It’s been too long since I’ve posted any photos here on my site. I keep taking them — I take them all the time, whenever a moment pops up and I have the chance to capture it — but I often need to do a bit of tweaking before I’m happy with how the final…
