Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Should I Tip In USD or Local Currency While In Mexico?

I’ve never done this before but my original post from March 2019 is displaying weirdly and I’m too lazy to dig into my blog’s plug-ins and undercarriage to fix it right now. So I’m just going to re-post the entire thing (with the slightly changed title that this really applies for tourists in Mexico in […]

Music Monday – “Sometimes you don’t say nothing ’cause you got nothing to say/And sometimes you tell it all ’cause no one’s listening anyway/And you don’t know for certain but you think you might be a bore Don’t wanna be nobody’s burden so you just hit the dance floor”

Hello World. My name is Jason. This is my blog. I don’t post to it very often anymore. But I sure like watching TikTok! “Hello? Is This Thing On?” – Chk Chk Chk

Friday Fun Link – CloudHiker

In the early days of the Internet, there was a tool called StumbleUpon where you could click a button and get taken to a random web site then click again and again. It was a great way to experience the full Internet in all its weird and wonderful glory. Now that “the Internet” has become […]

It’s The First Snow of the Year

One of my favourite traditions on this blog for my least favourite events (hopefully today’s snow won’t stay since we have plus temps in the forecast for the next week or more!)

ChatGPT Analyzes My Blog

Got my future overlord, ChatGPT, to do a bit of analysis of my blog posts in light of being an ENFP personality who has kept the blog up for ~20 years. Here’s what Nova Fox (the name we came up for ChatGPT last night – I’m having way too much fun with AI these days!)… […]

Music Monday – “We live in the shadows and we/Had the chance and threw it away/And it’s never going to be the same/’Cause the years are falling by like the rain/It’s never gonna be the same”

Well, after a couple months of minimal posting (hey, summer off like when I was a kid? Awesome!) and I’ve had some thoughts about how/if I want to keep this blog going as I sometimes struggle to come up with content (even lazy, zero-effort stuff) and/or find the time to post. At the same time, […]

Music Monday – “Now throw your hands up in the air/Wave them around like you just don’t care/If you wanna party, let me hear you yell/’Cause we got it goin’ on again (Yeah-yeah-eh!)”

Music Monday – “Will you recognize me?/Call my name or walk on by/Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling/Down, down, down, down”

Haven’t posted for a few weeks – busy at work, busy at home, camping holidays, some weird blog gremlins that make quick posts a bit harder than they used to be – but wanted to post to let my thousands dozens of readers know I’m still alive and more regular posting will likely resume…eventually. 😉 […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Welcome to Head Tale, The Blog

Let’s go *way* back to my very first blog post back in February 2006, nearly two months into my MLIS program and thinking “What can I possibly take up as a hobby that will help me procrastinate with assignments *and* be something I’m still doing twenty years later?!?”
