A Warning From Europe is a bit of read as it meanders to its point but the destination is well worth the trip. Besides, I like essays and articles that most see as tl;dr. Anyway, single-party oligarchies are waxing worldwide. The author discusses Poland and Hungary specifically but the parallels to the United States are…
Proving once again why xkcd is the software developer’s comic of choice: Sandboxing Cycle.

While my account at Facebook is still sort of up–I don’t monitor it. I also don’t monitor Facebook Messenger all that often. At least that is the plan. To that end,…
Cloud-to-Butt plugin wins another day!
Not even sure why exactly this site has commanded my attention, but its grip is undeniable. James Russell Publishing is a throwback to an earlier version of the World Wide Web.
