The Pillars of the Earth

It has been a tough start to 2025. There has been dramatic change at both work and politically. Those two things combined with two illnesses I haven’t had much energy or motivation to do much outside of work except read. Therefore, I’m a bit behind on my reading notes having read three other books since…… Continue reading The Pillars of the Earth

Le politique aujourd’hui

I thought a French title was appropriate given that, somehow, our current President has inexplicably managed to alienate all of our allies. As much as I’d like to write this post in French, my level is only up to a 6th grader and that simply won’t do for a post about politics. Let’s begin with…… Continue reading Le politique aujourd’hui

Ohio Trip – Post Four

It is 10:00 AM on Wednesday, March 12th, 2025. I’m at Stauf’s again enjoying the last Grandview morning before I go back to the Bay.

It felt as though I was stepping back in time to Christmas when we were here…… Continue reading Journal Entry – Ohio

Journal Entry – On the Road

I’m sitting in Terminal A at Orlando Airport and have two hours before boarding. Travel is always such a surreal experience for me but as I’ve aged I’ve noticed there isn’t much excitement for it. I don’t look forward to packing, to the preparation and if for business, find I’m without emotion during the whole…… Continue reading Journal Entry – On the Road

Tech Transformation: Linux, Self Hosting and Shedding Subscriptions

Since the beginning of the year I’ve been going through the largest personal computer and technology transformation and learning experience since I first started using computers back in 1992. It has been like learning computers all over again with the simultaneous joy and frustration that comes with it. With AI, I’m able to greatly exceed…… Continue reading Tech Transformation: Linux, Self Hosting and Shedding Subscriptions
