(I recommend you skip reading this if you do not want to read about electronics.)I have “prezzies.” Presents, I mean. A new computer, and a new Apple TV. The Apple TV is how I watch movies and sho...

I'm going to guess that yes, there will be a State of the Union speech made before both houses of Congress, because I don't think that's the fight the Democrats want to have. They will stand aside and...

Just staying inside today. I refuse to shovel snow right now. I've been updating a large website database. I should be writing articles, but feel a little too lethargic for it yet. My house is crying ...

Preparing for a possible storm here. Tomorrow around noon some snow will be falling but they can’t guess really how much. Possibly 5-8 inches. Then rain on top of that, and then snow again on top of...

Chrome can be goofy sometimes. On all the other site pages the avatars are round, except for this one, which is now 3/4 of a pie. Not that important, really. On Safari it looked to be fixed, with ful...

The voting machines in my area have some drawbacks, other than the huge one: that there is no paper backup of the votes in PA. The machine was a little confusing to use, because you cast all your vote...

I’ve been binge-watching the final season of House of Cards on Netflix, and it’s a crazy, unreal season solving the mystery of what happened to Frank Underwood. Robin Wright’s cool mask of a fac...
