Independent thinker who doesn’t side with “the side” just because they’re “the side”. Centrist. No one has ever accused me of being snarky.

AI Will Collapse the Economy

AI Will Collapse the Economy
I worked with a customer the other day where he was on an old, legacy web platform of ours and wanted to rejuvenate its appearance. This legacy platform came out about 9 years ago when "mobile-friendly" was just a catch phrase at the time. Not a web designer, he did a chat with an AI agent and applied a ton of CSS per the AI suggestions and the support that I provided as to how to make those changes and, yeah, it looked great!

There are three parts to hosting your domain, your website, your email, and any other service related to your domain. Registrar: Your registrar (buying your domain name so no one else can use it). DNS: Now that you have a domain name, where do all the services on your domain point to? This is done by what is called "DNS records".

Apparently TikTok’s Logan’s new addiction. So far she’s swiped next, loved a post and almost went live.

So, watchin' TikTok videos and seeing women reacting to their guys shaving their beards like they're gonna pack up all their kids and leave them for it. 'Seems like all guys have beards or at least a goatee these days.

The Beaver Builder Updates Are INSANE–At a Cost

The Beaver Builder Updates Are INSANE–At a Cost
I am a HUGE Beaver Builder fan. For those who do not know, Beaver Builder is a page builder for WordPress. It's the builder that I use on Cheydes of Black. It is the simplest, most versatile, no frills page builder I've ever used. Back when I first purchased it, the price was pretty reasonable. In that I absolutely HATE the name "Beaver Builder" I opted for the "Agency" version, just for the "white labeling" that only comes with the Agency version.

How to Install Windows 10 to an Intel NUC 12 Enthusiast Properly
For 25 years I have always had a particular way to manage my computers' operating system in a full-proof manner to allow for fallbacks. "If something fails--revert". This includes, at the very least, a RESTORE partition, ideally a RESTORE drive, such as a 2nd m.2 SSD drive. In the latest two builds, and moving forward, I will always have an entirely separate m.2 drive on my system as a system restore drive.

I have to admit, Trump's a top-notch promoter. I've seen nothing but Bruce Springsteen praise in my timeline on all platforms for days.

My wife had friends down from up north to Florida for a week.

I don't know how to help this guy, yet I feel everything he's feeling. He's 54, I'm 55. Anxiety about the future. He has no one alive left in his family. He's lost. I'm lost. Worst case scenarios for survival ruling your mindset.

Have friends coming down to Florida from Michigan next week. Decided to make our lanai a little more comfy since they’re smokers.

Does it look comfy?
