Well, what started out as simply desire to use my old Nokia RAZR to limit the influence of social media, tracking and all the invasive aspects of the internet has become one of privacy and reducing the influence of the internet in my life. As I mentioned previously, I wasn’t really enjoying the internet anymore. …… Continue reading State of the Internet – Third post

State of the Internet – Second Post
I’m excited about the internet again, but this time in limiting its invasive aspects instead of adding new. As I mentioned in my last post, I dug out my old Motorola RAZR phone and considered using it to stop the information collected about me. Unfortunately, it looks like it is charging but won’t turn on. …… Continue reading State of the Internet – Second Post

Privacy and the amount of information companies such as Facebook and Google have on their users has been brought to the forefront with the Cambridge Analytica debacle. This has been a catalyst for me to reevaluate how I use the internet and where I want to go from here. Frankly, I’m bored with the internet. …… Continue reading The Internet in 2018 – My Thoughts
Journal Entry – December 30th, 2017
It is 3:46 AM on December 30th, 2017. I woke up at 1:30 AM but couldn’t go back to sleep. I really didn’t want to get up so early and tried to go back to sleep but it wasn’t happening.

I noticed in December that his site was often down and remains so! This…… Continue reading del.icio.us bookmarks and internet stuff

The White House – Virtual Reality Tour
I just took the tour in VR and it is fantastic!!! I’ve decided that before I die I need to have a drink – nice scotch, elegant burbon, fancy wine, whatever – in the Red Room on a cold winter’s evening with a blazing fire in the fireplace. The President, myself and some other heads…… Continue reading The White House – Virtual Reality Tour
