  • It should come as no surprise to anyone that has read my blog that I am fiercely anti-Trump.

    This is absolutely disgusting, and I will do whatever I can to support the people that Trump and his fascist cronies attack and threaten over the next four years or however long this occupation lasts.

  • “If Kehoe calls a special election . . .”? I would certainly hope it is a matter of when a special election will be held. Otherwise, the governor is going to have a lot of unhappy, unrepresented voters in the 95th District.

  • I haven’t changed my blogging platform in 20 years, but my patience is running thin. It might be time to resurrect my @RapidWeaver@indieapps.space site!

  • I spent a little time this evening looking for protests, rallies, events, etc. to try to stop Congress from doing its job tomorrow, but it seems like there’s nothing happening.

    Then I remembered that what happened four years ago was completely insane, unprecedented, abnormal, and in many cases, criminal.

    That’s who we’ve elected, and I still can’t believe it and will not forget or forgive.

  • It’s been a rough year for the Chicago Bears, but any win against the Packers is a good win. This is especially true when it hasn’t happened since 2018!

    We also got to see some promising signs from Caleb Williams in Green Bay which is a daunting place even for the most veteran of veterans. There is a lot of hope for the future!

  • Can we all agree that it is absolutely ridiculous that leaders in our country have to hold press conferences to remind people to not randomly shoot guns? Yet another example of why citizens should not be allowed to personally own guns outside of controlled and regulated environments like gun and hunting clubs.

  • We’re really going to miss leaders like Jon Tester in the Senate. We need serious people in our highest positions, and he, undoubtedly, is a serious person.

  • For all of you desperately waiting for Apple to bring smart cameras and smart doorbells to market, you’re going to be disappointed. Apple entering these markets makes very little sense especially if the reasoning is to get more people to use HomeKit instead of Amazon or Google. The obtainable market is just too small to invest enough capital in creating the best products in their respective categories.

    The more likely play, in my opinion, is that Apple will license their technologies like Face ID and Siri to vendors already in these markets. It is not much of a stretch to expect acquisitions of some top vendors like ecobee that already embraced HomeKit.

    The one thing we know for sure is that Apple will find a way to surprise and hopefully delight us with whatever they do.

    Apple’s new Home products will challenge a long-standing Apple rule, here’s why

  • Jimmy Carter was the first rock and roll president!

  • President and First Lady Carter provided glowing examples of how people who have been in any position of power should spend their post-power lives – in service of humanity. To me, this includes political and corporate leaders.

    Imagine the possibilities if all of those enriched by their positions contributed to society to the extent that the Carters contributed. What a wonderful world this would be.

    Thank you President and First Lady Carter.
