I’m thinking about pulling the plug on this blog. I don’t feel the writing urge as much as I used to. OTOH the cost of maintaining it is low and maybe I’ll want to resume blogging again. OTTH, less is less.

Streaming is a cultural wasteland
It’s been said of cable TV, “A thousand channels and 90% of it is crap.” The same is now true of streaming services.
My wife and I wanted to watch something tonight. Amazon had seemingly millions of cop, detective, and period dramas. They were all variations on the same theme. Go over to Netflix where the auto-play video is supremely annoying and the UI was designed by a high school student with ADD. More millions of cop and detective shows. And Britain in the 1800’s.
I have nothing against cop or period dramas but I question why we’re supplied with millions of them. The answer: They’re mindless entertainment, and the more that exist the longer we’ll stay on the site and click, click, click.
Except I won’t.
Great moments in page numbering
Great moments in job applications
If you list 60 skills on your resume, you’re doing it wrong.
Nothing is forever.
All things must pass.
Chevy Bolt EV
Up until one month ago, if you told me I would buy my next car from a domestic car company, I would have laughed at you.
If you told me that my next car would be a Chevy, I would have ROFLMAO.
We are now the proud owners of a Chevy Bolt EV. We decided to go full electric because that’s the future. No halfway hybrid measures for us!
Our BMW 328i is 22 years old with 186,000 miles. Boy there’s a lot of new technology to learn!
This is a great car. IMHO, the technology (especially energy technology) is more advanced than any other EV in its class. Highly recommended!
Great moments in templating
Great moments in error popups
I use Banktivity for personal finance. It’s OK…Quicken is still the gold standard but I don’t trust their Mac development team for a few reasons. I was generating a report and entered a minus three to display the previous three years. Silly me, the minus sign was unnecessary.
Great moments in pretentious advertising for a condo building
Seen at the empty lot at 3rd & Virginia.
But it’s not empty. It has two condo mockups, complete with landscaping, that’ll be torn down when the building goes up.
Great moments in web site security
macOS Mojave Dark Mode is disappointing
I don’t like it.
Color palette choices will affect the readability of fonts, symbols, and icons. The radical changes that result from switching to Dark Mode reduced my screen’s readability.
A good Dark Mode would be a lot more complicated than just changing the palette.
YMMV.
