My Dog Cussed Me Out in English And…

Whenever my dog Skylar sees another dog, he gets really mad, and I have to reprimand him. I know this sounds crazy, but today he lost it, looked at me, and kind of in a mad kid’s voice said, “#%?! you! I know when and where you sleep, Daddy!” I took a step back, eyes…

Strike 1, 0 Balls, 0 Outs – The Mini PC Search

So here goes round two of my search for, not the ultimate, but a sufficient Mini PC. For me, "sufficient" doesn't really require a lot but my first shot at an ideal sized Mini PC, the GEEKOM A8 AI Mini PC, failed miserably at around the same price as the Intel NUC 12 Enthusiast Mini PC that I just...

Jetpack AI WordPress Integration

Before last night, it’s been a while since I did a post from Cheydes of Black via WordPress. Before publishing last night’s post, I eyed a new addition to the post options where I could generate a header (featured image in WordPress) using AI by describing what I wanted. I had my own desired featured…

Plant Parenthood

I never, ever, in my life, believed that I would even spend two minutes worrying about house plants. But one day, I decided we needed some greenery hanging down over the top of our kitchen cabinets since our place is all black & white with no “pop”, looked up some fake plants on Amazon and…

Age Is Just A Number… pfft!

When I used to look in the mirror, my brain didn’t think age. It wasn’t even a thought. My head was obsessively full of ambition. Just ideas in my head that I wanted to figure out and conquer. Late nights building tech stuff on my own dime & time, just figuring out things out of…

eXodus

So, it appears that there is a mass X-odus leaving the X platform for the more refined and better “governed” Bluesky that has been in beta for a very long time and has finally opened up to the public. Bluesky lacks the several negative experiences resulting from Elon Musk’s throttling routines on the X platform,…

Christians for Trump

It’s the same battle from when I was a kid. I tried to reach out to all of my friends–invited them to Vacation Bible School. A few obliged, but it wasn’t anything life changing. Those that did, it was more about the social experience than anything relating to Christianity. Whew! Back in the day, those…

How Hard Is It to Obtain a Keyboard That Does Everything?

I’ve probably spent a good 5 hours, at least, this week searching for the ideal replacement for my Logitech K811 keyboard to no avail. I have 3 or 4 of them. At the time, I paid about $60-$70 for each. Now? $239.99 on Amazon (and everywhere except for used ones on eBay). I-N-S-A-N-E-!!! “So I…

I’m No Longer An Atheist

Based upon the feedback that I’ve gotten from recent posts–and actual conversations in real life–I’m sure a lot of you can feel the relief knowing that I am no longer an Atheist. No more Atheist posts!!! I’ve decided to choose one of the thousands and thousands of gods and turn my life over to Santa…
