Why is it that even packing to go on an overnight vacation takes so much effort.
I don’t remember this being such a process when I was in my 20s. Probably because the amount of stuff I have to remember and bring has grown as I age. Especially …

Digital Business Card Thoughts
I was a big fan of a small smart business card outfit mTap for a while. But I’m concerned that it’s not going to make it.
So I’m hedging my bets and going with Popl. I thought about trying Dot, but they are more expensive for less …

Shit You Buy On Trips
Listening to The Morning Stream this morning. Brian and Scott are talking about things they were roped into buying while on vacation.
I was in Italy in college and somehow I got roped into buying packaging for a poster I bought buy a random guy on …

Learning From Our Past
I feel like old cartoons and videos that might not be PC anymore shouldn’t be banned. They should come with a disclaimer that they are a product of their time. They are historical and history shouldn’t be erased, it should be learned from …

HLS Video
I’m excited for the inclusion of HLS to the podcasting standard. I’d love to be able to listen to a podcast in the car, then when I leave the car and sit on my couch toggle on the video and keep watching!

Pirates of the Caribbean 3rd Installment Was Too Long!
The 3rd Pirates Of The Caribbean could have been 2 hrs or less. My God it was a long one. I walked out of the living room and didn’t even finish it.
The 12 yr old loved it, though.
The next two are shorter, so that’s good.
When is a film …
2025 Sucks!
Sad state of the US.

About The New Superman Movie
I hear the new Superman movie is really good. Probably not going to see it theaters, but maybe the kiddo will want to see it when it’s out on streaming.
How many times can a cinematic property be rebooted? I guess indefinitely.

An Old Energy Generation Plant Turned Into Apartments!
I went to a business networking event on Thursday at The Battery in Philadelphia. It’s an old power generation plant that was turned into apartments.
Very cool place. Especially for an event!

I love when I find something cool in my office that I forgot I had. It really is like an ADHD Birthday Present.

911 Emergency Service Down In PA Right Now!
Apparently 911 emergency service is down in PA. Got a loud alert on my phone while driving. That wouldn’t have been good if it made me fucking crash. WTAF!
Even my kiddo remarked on that fact.
I get the use of the emergency alert, but my …

Dish Washer Fun!
Well that was terrifying. The dishwasher had a strange error code this morning. We ran it through the night.
After to some research and a reboot, it’s fixed. I think and hope!
The “Did You Reboot” saying still stands true! …

Texas Floods 😭🥺😟
The floods in southern Texas are horrific. SO horrendous and many of the 100+ dead might still be alive if it wasn’t for the cutting NOAA and other climate orgs.
There is blood on the Trump Administration’s hands.
So such a tragedy.

Enough With The Rain!
The rain is insane. I swear we’re in July not April! Geezus!
Chance of flash floods tonight along the I-95 corridor. Be safe everyone!
Oh btw, CLIMATE CHANGE IS REAL!

Mini Golf
Went Mini Golf today with the family. A bit annoying with a teen who didn’t want to go. But overall decent round. Two hole-in-ones for me!

A great day yesterday. Well worth it, even with the aches and pains today.
I am tired AF and sore AF, but I wouldn’t change yesterday for the world.
I went with the wife and kiddo to Cherry Crest Farm in Ronks, Lancaster County, PA for a fun filled day outside.
Guess what? We had a blast. The kiddo, age 12, never …

Kiddo Touched Grass!
Went to Cherry Crest Farm today with the wife and kiddo. Had such a nice time. Proud of my kiddo for braving “grass.” LOL
The kiddo is a gamer and loves his games. So the fact that we got him out in nature is fan-freaking-tastic.

Fully Agree. ICE Is Pure Evil
Every single ICE employee should consider, “Am I now an agent to commit crimes against humanity?”
The answer from our President to our Supreme Court seems to be, “Yes.”

Philly's gonna be smelly for a bit.
Apparently a union of city workers are on strike in Philadelphia. Sanitation and recycling is one of the things that are not being handled right now.
Ummm… I support unions, but this can’t be healthy. Definitely smelly.

Cover Bands FTW
I’m big on cover bands. Sometimes their renditions of the songs they’re covering are better than the originals.
One cover band that I adore is First To Eleven.

Politics & The Filibuster
Besides making the clock and delaying passage of a crappy piece of legislation in Congress. I always wondered if a Filibuster actually stopped something that was bad from happening?
A record-breaking Filibuster is going on right now from the Dems.
