    Okay! Starting to get things figured out with mirroring my main site with my micro.blog site. Feeling much more comfortable with MB now.

    Christmas Market Fail

    My wife and I decided to take our Grand-daughter to the “Christkindle” German Christmas Market in Lawrenceville, GA this past weekend. Now, as a general rule I’m not terribly fond of these kinds of events because of the crowds and …

    Saw a podcast on the BBC.com website this morning entitled “The Death of Reading”. I wonder if they recognize the irony …

    Sixty Seven Trips Around the Sun

    It’s hard to believe, but in a few days, I will celebrate sixty-seven trips around the sun. I have now lived longer than both of my parents and several of my uncles. Given a family history of deaths at younger ages for the men, I’m just …

    Yay! Making much progress in figuring out this whole ‘Fediverse’ thing and using micro.blog. Now my question is whether to mirror my main blog at iamcuri.us to my MB blog, or use MB just for these short posts keeping my long-form work on …

    Okay. I am now officially frustrated. I have spent three full days trying to get my external Hugo site to load into my micro.blog site without success. No errors, just nothing showing up. It seemed like a good idea and shouldn’t be this …

    Everyone knows that phones are a distraction for drivers. Laws don’t work as people simply ignore them. The simple solution, in my view, is to require phone manufacturers to program phones to turn off all services except GPS when the phone …

    Testing Out Microblog

    I ran across an interesting site a few days ago and have spent the last couple of days testing it out. It’s called micro.blog. What intrigued me about it was that it allows both long-form writing as well as short, Twitter-like messages. One of …

    Remember when you were a kid and got a new pair of Keds? You just knew you could run faster and jump higher than you could before!

    Which Linux Distro Should a New User Use?

    This is part 4 of an ongoing series on moving away from Windows and onto Linux. In this post we’ll take a look at what I consider the best Linux operating system for the average user.

    You’ve made the decision to move to Linux. Now comes …

    I am in absolute awe of folks that can create intricate designs for 3D printing in CAD programs. I’m trying to learn but, man, is it a challenge!
