Blogs

Blogs are small tidbits of information I slap out that don’t need paragraphs of exhausting detail to explain.

I have a large social media presence, for an old guy

There was a time in the not-so-distant past when I obsessed over my LinkedIn social media presence to point of getting upset if I couldn’t add at least twenty followers per day. That obsession never went away, but it refocused on 𝕏 / Twitter. I’m not bored with LinkedIn. In fact, my footprint is slowly […]

Why do I call myself a Jack of All Trades?

I’m actually a Jack of All Trades, Master of None, and I’m kind of proud of it. If you wasted your time getting to know me, sorry about that. I’m not an organized network rack with color coded and labeled wires, more like a gigantic squirming pile of earthworms. My young life was hard, not

I shaved my beard for a job

For the past thirty years, I’ve had a beard of varying lengths. At some point six years ago, I let it grow quite long while larping (in my head) about being an ancestor of Norse explorers. That beard saved many a shirt from the ravages of food stains. It was my friend. A handful of

I have to get a job, any job.

I’m going to need a job. A couple of years ago, my father collapsed and injured himself bad enough that a hospital stay was necessary. This event changed my life in ways that a normal adult would have adapted to a long time ago. It took no effort at all to discover my dad’s big

Are people more sensitive these days?

Yes, I believe people are far too sensitive and easily offended, sort of. If you think the current climate of personal offense is normal in any way, you may be part of the problem. Years ago, corporations found out that they could profit from celebrating certain large groups of people. To make more money, they

Do I listen to Music when I’m Writing?

There are two different kinds of writing in my world, code and prose, and music plays a huge role in them. I’m somewhat good at both, but will never achieve expert status in either since my chaotic mind keeps me involved in about a billion different ventures. My musical tastes aren’t very diverse. The louder,

WordPress isn’t for real developers

At least, that’s what I believed about WordPress as an enterprise level developer for years. It seemed like a silly little blogging tool for people who couldn’t write their own software. I’ve used it to slap-up quick and dirty websites in the past. It works, there was never any argument from me about that. My

Would Vikings use AI?

Uh, hell yes Vikings would use AI. Of course, I’m not referring to the Minnesota Vikings, this is about the real ones with axes, ships, and fire, lots of fire. They rose to power with their eagerness to utilize inventions that other groups didn’t have access to at the time. Weapons, trade, farming, metal crafting,

I’m available for contract work in the Jacksonville area.

I live on the Southern edge of Jacksonville Florida, just north of Saint Augustine. If you’re in the area and looking for a trustworthy, technology obsessed software developer for your project, I’m someone you should talk to. Nothing is too ambitious or too small for my consideration. I’ve even helped a few startups with their

What Software Tools Do I Write With?

What software do you use to write your books? Yes, that’s an engagement question you’ll see at least once per day if you follow enough large accounts. God, I hate social media engagement questions. Those will be an entire post all of their own. It is an interesting query, however, and it points to a
