Sunday night again. The weekend was good, but too short as usual. Feeling a little melancholy, though. Another tragic shooting in Jacksonville today 🙁 . I saw a tweet (and not the first reference to such) from a native of the UK frowning upon America’s lack of gun control and similar, compared to that in […]

Greetings all… Long work week, but the good thing is one more day left, until a two-day break from it all. So, as those who have been keeping up know, I have eight more days until this FB/Instagram/Reddit/etc social media break OFFICIALLY ends. One major thing I have learned up to now is that it […]

The D3100 debuted 18 years ago as a 14.2-megapixel DX format DSLR Nikon F-mount […]

Another workday Monday has come and gone. It was productive, tedious but productive. This morning, the usual diatribe occurred between me and my brother in podcasting/tech/photographer/music, DarrenKeith regarding our social media use, or lack thereof. The discussion was briefly about plans of usage when returning back to FB and IG after this break is over. […]

Greetings readers… Eighteen days in of disengagement from Facebook and Instagram. I’m starting to think about, increasingly, my reasons (and associated ROI) for returning to Facebook. I’ve not had the desire to even check it at all, so there is where I am right now. There are two groups I am an active admin in, […]

Greetings all…. Some of you know I’ve been participating in the #100DaysOfCode campaign from some of the previous posts on this blog. I’m learning to code in Python, and though this is the third attempt over the last few years, this campaign, as well as a totally different outlook than before, has allowed me to […]

Greetings all… After a solid two weeks of no Facebook and Instagram, I’m starting to see it’s not really jsut the avoidance of using the two, but more so this: Tnat is all, moving along now…nothing more to see here. Fresh!

Greetings readers… Hope all is well with you and yours. Ironically, another Twitter (and IG) friend, B.Tramuel, posted the link to an article entitled Managing Your Social Media Intake (Without Quitting it Completely). Our Twitter exchange went like this: Yeah, I read the article and personally found it lacking only because it didn’t impart unto […]
