Back in the beginning of September, I signed up for gig apps. Not that I needed the extra money, but because I wanted something else to do to bring in some additional income. I’ve had an Uber Driver account since 2017 but I knew I didn’t want to drive people again. I absolutely hated it. […]

Recently I’ve been debating about upgrading from my M1 Pro MacBook Pro to the M3 Pro. First, Apple has made some big improvements in the Apple Silicon line. The biggest being switching from 5 nanometer manufacturing to 3 nanometer. That doesn’t sound like a big deal, but consider this. That “small” jump allows the chip

What is “greedflation? Well it’s inflation but with greed. Ever since CEOs started cracking the whip and demand butts in seats in shitty cubicles, “inflation” has been up. But it’s not inflation like the media will have you believe. Instead, it’s large companies that had two years of low revenue trying to make up for

Well this year I think I couldn’t have waited any longer to do my reflection on the year. This year was definitely an interesting year and it was better than the previous ones.

This is a rant post. If you’re offended by swearing or think Musk is a god, then skip this one. Look. I’m going to be frank. If you’re still on Twitter, or is it X? Who the fuck even knows anymore? You’re a fucking idiot and part of the goddamn problem. Of course, if you

If you’re looking for information on a topic, they’ll show you Wikipedia, YouTube, or some other major website than, say,

In tech, nothing ever really goes away. In the last 5 years, I have seen/used: I’m also probably forgetting a bit too. But these were all production systems. All of this was keeping businesses alive. In the non-business world, I’ve seen BBSs used as communication platforms as well as just being

I’m writing this post after needing to step away from a heated debate I was having earlier on Mastodon. I’m not going to repeat it all verbatim, but the gist was that new numbers are in. While user accounts have surged, thanks to Musk, a million or so have no activity – meaning either they
