It is 8:25 PM on Monday April 23rd, 2018. This is my inaugural post on my new Dell Inspiron 3000 notebook. I had been accumulating prepaid gift cards and absolutely hate the “maintenance fees” on those so wanted to use them as quickly as possible. The problem is they can be impossible to use…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 4.23.2018

State of the Internet – Third post
Well, what started out as simply desire to use my old Nokia RAZR to limit the influence of social media, tracking and all the invasive aspects of the internet has become one of privacy and reducing the influence of the internet in my life. As I mentioned previously, I wasn’t really enjoying the internet anymore. …… Continue reading State of the Internet – Third post
State of the Internet – Second Post
I’m excited about the internet again, but this time in limiting its invasive aspects instead of adding new. As I mentioned in my last post, I dug out my old Motorola RAZR phone and considered using it to stop the information collected about me. Unfortunately, it looks like it is charging but won’t turn on. …… Continue reading State of the Internet – Second Post

It is 4:38 AM on Saturday morning. It is completely dark outside with the only a one inch light out on the ocean as the cruise ship heading for San Francisco passed by. We’re in the middle of a storm and I can hear the wind rushing through the trees. I made it to the…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 2.18.2017
del.icio.us bookmarks and internet stuff
This past week I finally got around to organizing yet another part of my life. This time it was my internet bookmarks; not the browser bookmarks as I had done that previously but more specifically the once I had on del.icio.us. I noticed in December that his site was often down and remains so! This…… Continue reading del.icio.us bookmarks and internet stuff
Meditation in Virtual Reality
All the politics made me need to meditate in the virtual reality Hana Valley this morning; here are some screenshots – isn’t it lovely! I think I also may need to meditate at the Devil’s Slide Tap Room with a few glasses of amber ale later on.
