Since I talked about not doing it, it only seems right to bring it up again now that it’s been done. Yes, we’ve made the switch to WordPress 5, but no, we’re not using the new editor. I haven’t heard anything more about progress on the accessibility front, but what I have heard are several …

Morespace
Poor Myspace hasn’t had a whole lot going for it for quite a while, and now, thanks to what may or may not be an oopsie, it has even less. Myspace, the once mighty social network, has lost every single piece of content uploaded to its site before 2016, including millions of songs, photos and …

I was never as hooked on social media as a lot of people, but even I can tell you that the last few months of limiting my already limited exposure to everyone’s garbage opinions and constant stupid outrage even further has me starting to feel a bit better. I’m no less informed (you should see …

Generally speaking, 2018 was a pretty decent year for me. But you know who can’t say the same? Facebook. THE 21 (AND COUNTING) BIGGEST FACEBOOK SCANDALS OF 2018 “Of 2018.” Not of all time I again remind you, “of 2018. Jesus Murphy on a stack of lawsuits, that’s no good at all. December 2018: Another …

Bell’s Everything Tracking Is Back And Very Slightly Less Creepy
It appears Bell is taking another crack at the tracking every customer’s every move thing that went so well a few years ago.

More Old school Blogging Vs. Social Media Talk
Here is Dan Cohen, a fellow with many more credentials than I, saying basically what I said about getting away from social media and focusing more on the blog, but in fancier words. It was fun for a while. I met many people through Twitter who became and remain important collaborators and friends. But the salad …
