It is midday on Tuesday, April 24th. I had an issue with my new laptop in that it was running very slowly. I learned that it was due to a lot of updates that were being installed and so I kept that window open so it could complete. After one Windows 10 update the Windows…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 4.24.2018

Journal Entry – 4.23.2018
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
Japantown – Cherry Blossom Festival – Part 1
It is 8:02 AM on Saturday, April 14th. Today is the start of the Cherry Blossom Festival in Japantown. I always enjoy this and tell myself every year that I’d like to get a little more involved and spend more time there. My favorites are the people dressed up in cosplay, the dancing, the Cherry…… Continue reading Japantown – Cherry Blossom Festival – Part 1
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

This has been a catalyst for me to reevaluate how I use the internet and where I want to go from here. Frankly, I’m bored with the internet. …… Continue reading The Internet in 2018 – My Thoughts
Journal Entry – Easter Sunday 2018
It is Easter Sunday 2018 @ 5:23 PM. Yesterday I did the kids and adults karate classes and made it through just fine.

Journal Entry – 3.31.2018
It is 6:25 AM on Saturday, March 31st. We’ve gotten some very nice weather on the coast these past two days with temperatures reaching into the 70s. This used to be rare but seems to happen with more frequency these past couple of years. The climate is changing and it is too bad that many…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 3.31.2018
Journal Entry – 3.29.2018
It is 8:27 AM on Thursday March 29th. We’re getting unusually warm weather which makes it feel like spring. Yes, it is spring but the weather doesn’t change too much year around here in the Bay like it does in Ohio. You don’t get that feeling of euphoria on a really nice day like you…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 3.29.2018
