  • Thanks to the wonders of the interwebs, I happened to be listening to WXRT earlier today even though I live in a radio wasteland here n St. Louis. The DJ (yeah, they actually still have those) played an incredible new song by Mavis Staples called Chicago. I am so excited to hear the rest of the album when it comes out in November!

    I had the privilege to see Mavis earlier this year, and make no mistake, she still has a lot to say with that voice! Do not miss the opportunity to see her perform live.

  • Vaccines work. They have saved lives and prevented illness for generations at this point.

    Knowing the president does seem to care about his family, this can all be solved very easily with a few questions asked every day until he gets rid of RFK Jr. once and for all:

    1. Are you vaccinated?
    2. Are your children vaccinated?
    3. Are your grand children vaccinated?
      • No? Have you ever pictured your grand children in an iron lung because they are suffering from Polio?
        • No? Let me show you this AI-generated image of one of your grand children in an iron lung.

    Problem solved.

  • It seems we’ve hit that time in history when cars update like smartphones.

  • If you’ve been holding off on that hiking trip in a national forest, now’s the time to stop waiting. That dream hike is not going to look the same after these goons get done destroying our forests.

  • I am so excited to see what my team is able to do with these new models in Azure. I am especially excited to see how the model router functionality benefits our solutions and ultimately our clients in both experience and in cost savings.

  • I have been putting iPadOS 26 through its paces, and there are some really nice advancements that will make the iPad even more powerful than it already is today.

    Any Mac (or Windows) user will appreciate the new menus at the top of the screen for the active app, and the ability to have multiple apps visible at once makes multi-tasking more useful. The ability to easily resize apps is also a great addition. I also like how iOS apps automatically open as windows instead of awkwardly filling the screen with a ton of empty space.

    That reminds me, Apple, please enhance the Sports app for iPad. It makes no sense that it is an iOS-only app at this point.

    If you have a non-essential, relatively recent iPad, give the iPadOS 26 Beta a try. I think you’ll like it!

  • My first favorite baseball player, and my favorite all-time Chicago Cubs player.

  • Let’s all remember that without public television, there would be no Wayne’s World. What a sad world this would be.
