Ok, the tinfoil hat is kind of on for this post. It’s not wrapped too tight, so don’t worry. With the recent release of government reports, hearings, and documents regarding UAPs (what used to be called UFOs), it raises an interesting question. Are aliens real? Eh, who knows. I lean toward yes simply because of
First off, some site news about DansGeekStop. The migration appears to be complete from everything I can see, and everything went smoothly. That honestly shocks the hell out of me considering I handled the entire migration myself. I’d also like everyone to say hello to my new host, InMotion Hosting. And with a bit of
Sigh, if you are anyone with any type of technical knowledge, no matter what age, I am sure you can relate to this post. I’m 66 years old and worked with computers my entire working life. From a small furniture company where I started, to a Fortune 500 company where I finally retired. Even now
I was planning on addressing the topic of Data Centers this week when the reality of them suddenly affected me personally.

At the end of March, I made the mistake of stepping out in front of a car and got hit. Needless to say, it hurt like a bear. Fortunately, I was not hurt badly, but it did torque my left knee, which I am slowly healing from. That is one of the main reasons I
Last week, my post was about How Many of Us Curse at Our Tech… and Why Do We Do It? After I posted that article, I stepped back and gave the subject a little more thought. I wanted to look at the bigger picture, not just the individual trees in the forest. And that got
Oh, come on. This image is just the tip of the iceberg of the many reasons we all, at one time or another, have cussed out our electronic devices. And I call bull shit on anyone who says they’ve never done it. You already know the reasons any specific device can light that fuse. You
On my way to the library earlier this week around 7am, I had the pleasure of meeting a really nice lady. Not under the best circumstances. I stepped out in front of her car and got hit. This is totally on me. I just didn’t see her. Thankfully, she wasn’t going fast at all, but
