Friday Fun Link – This Is Mother Fucking Web Site

I remember learning the basics of HTML in 1997 and still joke that some of my first web design jobs were because I could “get a picture to show up on a web page.” Times have changed but I love this site as it brings back so many memories of the core web site design […]

Still Alive (But Still Taking A Blog Holiday)

We were camping for most of July in a place where Internet signal is pretty crappy (two bars max at all times and basically unusable on weekends when the park is full) plus life has been busy with a variety of things: * Buying a new vehicle/selling our old van * Inlaws downsizing their home […]

First Lines of My First Blog Post of Every Month of 2023

January – Probably still goes to Heaven? February – Why is Covid denial so dangerous? March – The resort we were just at was almost all the way to Tulum (which is two hours south of Cancun.) April – A different form of sun dog in a photo my son sent while walking our dog […]

Sunset (or Sunrise?)

My last post was August 21 when I said I was going to try to get back to (roughly) daily blog posts after a summer of holidays and other distractions. Then I promptly didn’t post again for nearly two more weeks until today. Lots I could write, lots of navel-gazing about why I (still) have […]

Music Monday – “It’s been too long since we took the time/No-one’s to blame/I know time flies so quickly”

Not a lot of blogging this summer due to holidays and other things occupying my mind.  But time to start over with trying to do (mostly) daily posts (he says posting a Music Monday post on Tuesday morning!) 😉 “(Just Like) Starting Over” – John Lennon

I’m Still Alive!

No, Shea didn’t finally get tired of being married to me and drown me. We’ve been camping for much of July (in a campground that has really crappy LTE service that, on balance, I find to be a good thing – though Sasha managing to sneak the password for the $80/month wifi the neighbours pay […]

First Lines of My First Blog Post of Every Month of 2022

January – “If I was taking bets on who wouldn’t make it to midnight, it’d be Shea or I before these two! ?” February – “I always had this sneaking suspicion that my memories of massively high snowbanks as a kid was influenced by the fact that I was, well, a kid, at the time and […]

Friday Fun Link – ChatGPT Is An Exponential Leap for Artificial Intelligence

The new artificial intelligence service, ChatGPT, has taken the Internet by storm and with good reason – this is incredibly realistic (mostly), fast, free artificial intelligence that has potential to revolutionalize the world in numerous ways improving exponentially from similar earlier services. (Of course, as someone pointed out on Reddit, “everyone thought Excel would revolutionize […]

Gone Camping (Part Deux)

Posts will likely be sporadic to non-existent for the next couple weeks. (Sunset walks, on the other hand, will be plentiful!)

First Lines From My First Blog Post of Every Month of 2021

January – “I recently heard about this site that lets you write letters to yourself at some point in the future.” February – “Shea and I are hooked on “Yellowstone” right now and a big part of that is realising how many songs on the soundtrack are already part of the “Camping Faves” playlist we […]
