Bluesky And A Dead Email Address -- Non-existent Bluesky Support!
I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop on my Bluesky account. I no longer have access to the associated email but I can still log in and use it. The problem is that when I go to change it, Bluesky wants me to go to the dead email account to …

Thank goodness last day driving the kiddo 20 mins to camp. Next week the camp is closer!
It was more the roads I had to take to get the kid to camp. A real nightmare of a trip with traffic and idiotic drivers.

Claude 4.0 Sonnet For WordPress Plugins
I just tried Claude 4.0 for a quick little WebP converter plugin for internal use. It worked really well. Even when something didn’t quite work the way I thought it would, I went back and it fixed it.
Pretty nifty.

Grandma
My Grandma was my best friend. She was the most amazing wonder woman. Smart, fun, loving. She was such a great role model for me growing up.
I’m lucky to have had her for more than 28 years of my life and I miss her every day.
How many college …

It's the economic climate, not just me.
Just had a call with another marketing professional that I know from my area. She confirmed that business is slow for her too.
This doesn’t make me feel any better, but at least I know it’s not something I did.
Just gotta keep networking …

Packing Hell
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 …

Listening to The Morning Stream this morning. Brian and Scott are talking about things they were roped into buying while on vacation.

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 …

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.

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.

I get the use of the emergency alert, but my …

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.
