No, I am not against renewable energy, so please don’t think that. I firmly believe that the more energy sources this nation has available, the more secure our energy supply will be. Renewable energy has to be part of that mix. But that doesn’t mean renewable energy has no environmental impact. And to give you
Okay, even though this might appear to be a political post, it is not. Elites, no matter what their political alignment may be, have a bad habit of looking down on blue-collar workers. So, if it appears that I am throwing stones at one political party, I am not. I have a whole bucket of
I have spent most of my life working with technology, and I am a huge proponent of it. But one of the things that has always irritated the sin out of me is people who abuse this technology to prey on individuals who just are not as proficient with it as others are. So, let’s
So, let’s talk about reading. In today’s electronic society, we now have many different ways to read.

I spend a lot of time at the senior center where I live (yes, I am old). Somehow, a buddy and I have been identified as the tech support here for the other seniors. Today, a gentleman came in and asked us how to print something from an AI chat on a government website from
I came across an article today about mainframe computers that reminded me of my beginnings in the computer industry. Mainframes are where my education and career in computers began. They were the systems I learned on and later worked with. Throughout the years, I’ve heard the same discussion over and over again. “Mainframes are dead.”
So let’s cut to the chase. Let’s get real here, people. Almost every article you see anymore about data centers is focused on AI driving the need for more of them. And yes, AI is requiring more data centers. That part is true. But everyone complaining about it is missing some very important facts. As
Sigh, I have mentioned many times how much I hate pollution, trash, litter, and our throwaway society that doesn’t seem to care how wasteful and harmful it has become. One of the reasons I haven’t written about this topic yet is because there are just so many things that encompass it. And honestly, there have
