My browser of choice is Safari. This after a lifetime of Netscape Navigator, Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome. I switched about two years ago. Safari has a simplicity to it that I appreciate. It’s beautiful from a chrome perspective. It’s an incredibly elegant browser, and, at least until
I’m trying to Make Person-to-Person Email a Thing again. If your message does not require immediate attention, don’t send a text message, WhatsApp, iMessage, Facebook Messenger, or other direct-message. Just send an email. I appreciate the intent here. But I find myself taking the opposite

I don’t do well with silence. It’s too much. My brain struggles to focus on tasks if things are quiet. Yes, yes. I know. It’s good to let my mind wander and think. Processing thoughts allows our minds to think through ideas. That’s the whole point
It’s nearly Spring in Idaho and the longer days and increased sunlight makes so happy. It’s easy to forget what sun feels like. Though I don’t like the long gray winters, they make me appreciate the warmer weather that follows.
I love to play around with tech. When I hosted my website on a different server I’d mess around with the site files via FTP. It was so fun to tweak and modify files and see the results instantly. I also had a ton of security holes and had
