I stopped watching the Academy Awards a long time ago. I have long believed that the Oscars are the purview of women and gay men. When I did watch it, I recorded it on my DVR so that I could fast-forward through most of it and catch any craziness that...

There is a genre of videos I call generational content. The premise is one or more people younger people (teens to mid-twenties) film themselves listening to "old" songs for the first time. For some reason, they tend to be black people.

"And...?"

"Damn, I hate that. Nothing worse than a hot...

Just add this one to the long list of emails that I dread.

I will admit that Microsoft Teams is a convenient place to store shared documents that can be updated by multiple people simultaneously. I have always had challenges doing this on SharePoint with this idea of checking out...

I was puzzled when I looked at my statistics for Wordle today.
Played - 48
Win % - 100
Current Streak - 2
Max Streak - 46
