Being Always Online is Weird
April 11, 2018

Let’s face it: Being always online (connected to the Internet) is a very, very weird thing.  Over the last few weeks I’ve been using my computers more like I would have in the late 1980’s: No walking around with a tablet.

April 09, 2018

April 08, 2018

Is it a good idea for technology conferences to remove or blacklist presenters based on politics?  Either the politics of the speaker or the politics (or perceived politics) of their employer?  This just happened — GitHub removed a CTO of a government ...

4k Video is Dumb. Filmed in 480p, Black & White to prove it.
April 03, 2018

4k video is dumb.  (At least for most purposes.)  So many people put fancy-pants production quality before their content… that it makes the production quality all but pointless.  I also debunk the fallacy that “Linux can’t produce successful video.

30 Day, 1989 Challenge Update #3: Back to Twitter – with restrictions
April 01, 2018

I’m using my modern computers as if I were using them in 1989.  (It’s a weird idea.  See this episode, and the first update, also the second, for more details.)  I am now 2 weeks in.  And, in order to better understand which change is making the positi...
