Anything that is to do with my life that doesn’t fall into work or play
I have had my own domain for over 15 years. Using way back machine I was able to get screenshots of what it looked like over the years. In 2006 I installed WordPress and stopped hand-coding everything. I did that because I cycled across the country and needed a quick …
Many years ago I joined Facebook, but then the beacon scandal happened and I deleted my account. And then about twelve months ago, just before the Cambridge Analytica scandal happened I joined again. And just like before I deleted the account. The first time I deleted it it was because …
