Gunboat Park Neon
A few more neon signs went up along Route 66 in Tulsa that I meant to capture before work travels and had forgotten. I was reminded by a recent drive-by and had to stop of course. Click here to find…

Giving Up
"Giving up smoking is the easiest thing in the world. I know because I've done it thousands of times." - Mark Twain
Apple ID
I am about to merge, consolidate and liquidate older IDs in favor of a new, more permanent Apple ID. I've made a mess of things these past few months. I hope for minimal damage and quick recovery process if it…
Five Years Later
After decades using Windows and Linux operating systems, I had had enough with both of them. In 2019 I decided to go all in on the Apple ecosystem and purchased a used MacBook Air from 2015. In 2021, I…
Well, That’s Sorted
While going through all of my files, I discovered they were all scattered across multiple hard drives, backed up multiple times. A mess. I decided to make a master file and import all data into it. Then I started to…
Night + Day
I geeked out just now watching my website switch from night mode to day mode automatically according to when the sun is scheduled to rise. Thanks to my Open Weather api script.
DVD Archives
A long time ago I created a website for my daughter to document her growth. Over time, though, it was neglected and shelved. I came across an .xml file containing a few posts but not all of them so I…

Issues
Having multiple accounts should be nice and simple but leave it to me to complicate matters. Despite documenting all credentials and passwords, toggling back and forth has been frustrating. Yes, I blame myself, not .
Experiment
I want to do an experiment soon to see if I can go without my iPhone for one day. I think we are too dependent on this damned thing. I'll set up some alternatives that I use daily and then…
Time Machine
“My camera is a Time Machine. A camera can be able to stop the world, in that we stop the world and then investigate what is there, carefully.” -Hiroshi Sugimoto
What Have I Done? (2)
With Apple support, I have gained partial access to some devices except my MacBook and AirPods. Apparently they are signed in on another, older Apple ID. I have been attempting to add/drop devices onto old ID and try again on…
What Have I Done?
I have made a mess of things while trying to simplify. I let a domain name expire that also had a custom email address attached to it and according to my domain registrar, lost both to a third party who…
To Err…
Remind me to never write anything when I am tired. Mistakes are made, even when I rely on my writing software to analyze grammatical and spelling errors. That last Newsletter was littered with errors. Apologies.
