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

I’ve been a computer nerd since 1993. These are my stories in dealing with computers through the years.
Home Internet – T-Mobile versus Comcast
I finally pulled the trigger disconnecting Comcast and giving T-Mobile home internet a try. Comcast has been getting on my nerves for years with their overpriced service and the dance we must do by calling in to try and keep the price from rising too much year over year. They also put data caps and…… Continue reading Home Internet – T-Mobile versus Comcast
Lapham’s Quarterly – Technology
For the past two years I’ve not been very good about reading my Lapham’s Quarterly in a timely manner. With kids free time is at a premium and any reading time that does appear is often devoted to books on my reading list. I am trying to more time for this periodical for the same…… Continue reading Lapham’s Quarterly – Technology

I just spent two hours on it and even yelled out in delight when I heard the printer begin printing from my Mac. I yelled so loud…… Continue reading Mac Big Sur and Canon Printer MX340 Solved
Journal Entry – Computer Stories
It is 6:37 AM on Saturday June 12th, 2021. I’m writing on my new MacBook Pro. Well, it isn’t exactly new, it is from 2013 and was my wife’s MacBook. She’s such a lucky girl she got a brand new MacBook and I’m taking her hand-me-down. It is ironic because I’m the computer/internet nerd in…… Continue reading Journal Entry – Computer Stories
