I wanted to mess around with an Alma Linux distro, but to get there, I need to pick up some tech along the way. I also want to blog about it, and as I drop links to the text, I want to construct my own outbound links. I looked into several top URL shortener plug-ins …
Yup – trying to make sure things work like I think they should. Hopefully this works, then I can delete it. Life will be good!
Background OK, I have seen the word “trope” used to label an archetype or derivative of an archetype in the media industry (“chill girl”, “misunderstood billionaire”, “femme fatale”, etc.). Maybe this whole post uses a word that doesn’t mean what I think it means (thank you Princess Bride), but let’s tee this up anyway. I …

Anyone who reads my material knows I am a walking variety magazine. I just love the force of creation, which is how I can pivot Math.random(360) degrees, several times a day. If you don’t know JavaScript, that’s just a number between 0 and 360. It began with a domain name I will wake up with …

She has reviewed all the documents, developed her presentation, and has all the talking points. How many of us have been there? I asked her how she felt, and it was “excited and intimidated.” That’s …
I have been writing a TON of content and there is so much going on, but none of it is fit for public consumption! At least, not yet. I’m currently focused on some quiet awesomeness, so let’s make that today’s theme. In a world filled with endless content and noise, it’s easy to overlook the …

It started with an odd capitalism vs co-op vlogger post There I was, on some social media outlet, thumbing through content. Can’t find it now. . . but there was this guy ranting on capitalism.

TLDR I read this article by Douglas Rushkoff, about the ultra-rich giving up on humanity. Maybe the subsequent book (“Survival of the Richest”) is truth, maybe fiction, maybe a bit of both. I get the notion of “preparedness” manifests differently for each of us, but this read inspired some contemplation on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion …
