ChatGPT Will Be an Incredible Productivity Tool
I’ve been working through a lot of technical details about how ChatGPT functions (which pulls data from OpenAI), and I’ve determined it is already a productivity tool, but will become, an incredible one. ChatGPT is a productivity tool that has the potential to revolutionize the way businesses and individuals communicate and collaborate. It is a…

A Quick History of Dark Mode
What is something that could save the battery on your phone, reduce eye strain, and have potential health benefits? Dark Mode of course. This article is a continuation of my short mini-series, On Darkness, which started with our exit from DST (Daylight Savings Time). Today we are taking a quick look at Dark Mode. Dark…

A Quick Review of the Readwise App
I read a lot more now than I did years ago. Still not as much as I would like, but enough to consider myself a reader. Apps to accompany reading-specific-communities have been pretty limited over the years to Goodreads, which was purchased by Amazon, and then forgotten. I’m still on there with a few other…

5 Reasons Why iA Writer is the Best Markdown Editor
There are many options when it comes to writing applications. In fact, there are so many options that finding a new writing/note app today has become noise in the background. Another next best app with that one feature I’ve been waiting for and at the same time never seems to be in development. Yet they…

A Review of the Scrimba Learn JavaScript Course
I just finished up the Learn JavaScript for Free course on Scrimba, taught by the CEO Per Harald Borgen, and the last thing he suggested in the course wasn’t to take another course, but to start writing about my learning experience. I’ve been blogging for almost 20 years so this was something I felt I…

Some Great Books on Technology
Every year I wish I had read more books. Once i get into a book I’m good, but when i finish it takes me forever to get back into that groove of the “next” book. I tend to bounce from book to book until I find that next one. That next one right now is…

Thoughts on Feedly, Inoreader, and RSS Readers
I love the RSS feed and think it’s one of the most powerful tools someone can use to filter and currate content on the web. It’s also one of the most undervalued and underused options. Unfortunately on March 13, 2013, Google announced they were discontinuing Google Reader, stating the product had a loyal but declining…

Fresh Fog with Micro.blog
What a great time to be on the internet right now. It feels like a time back in the day when really cool and exciting things were being created faster than you could figure out. In 2022 we’re on the cusp of another internet revolution. This time it’s a decentralized, web3, crypto baked in blockchain…

On Apple’s Tribute to Steve Jobs One Year Later
I remember landing in Amsterdam on October 5, 2011 after being in the air for almost 10 hours. I turned on my iPhone and AP news alerts started pinging my phone as happens when a “world event” takes place. I read through the Fox News, CNN, Sky News alerts and articles, and read through my…

Nothing Motivates Writing Like a New Theme Design
I know to non-bloggers, writing a blog post about blogging is a kin to photographers talking about equipment (which we love to do), but to the rest of the world, it’s… boring… that is unless you love photography, or in this case blogging. If you know WordPress, their mantra is Code is Poetry, and maybe…

Weekly Photo Challenge: Wrong
This was another very difficult topic this week from the Weekly Photo Challenge over at WordPress, and I decided to completely forgo the theological “wrong” since I covered one of those last week, and besides that topic is just too enormous to narrow down for this post. Since I’m such a huge fan of semiotics…

Weekly Photo Challenge: Inside, a MacBook 5,1
This post serves a few different purposes, like Day 239 of my Project 365, but once in a while I like to get something up there for the WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge, and since this week’s theme was inside, I thought this would make a great shot. I don’t spend all of my days inside…

Sophistication Through Simplicity
I didn’t just post a picture of a black square, this is actually my desktop. I love the clean, simple, and yet still very sophisticated… desktop, home screen, written code, verse, prose, lyric, file structure, office, room, company, house, life… etc (could be I like this so much because life in reality is actually very…

Quick Update on My Blog Design and Format
First of all, I’ll say right off, I’m not a big fan of blogging about blogging, but sometimes I do it just to organize things out in my own mind as well, that’s what this is then. I hear it all the time, if I get a better, newer, and more fresh looking design, I’ll…
