There’s a new image processor on my computers. Recently the chief developer of one of my favorite image editors, Picture Window Pro (PWP), sent out a sad email letting all PWP users know that he is stopping PWP development. He thanked us for over twenty years of support and as a last gift converted the … Continue reading Affinity Photo Review

My Final Facebook Fuckoff
It’s the start of a new year and much has changed. This week we moved into a new house. Our move has been an eight month and four state ordeal but I am hoping we will be here for some time. I am tired of moving and our frequent moves are confusing our self-appointed digital … Continue reading My Final Facebook Fuckoff
A Bloggy Christmas Letter
It’s been a year of blogging badly so I might as well end it with a Christmas letter. I won’t excuse my absence from these bloggy pages; I have repeatedly warned my readers that I blow hot and cold. I am either all in or all out. For most of 2016 blogging has been off … Continue reading A Bloggy Christmas Letter

The Santa Fe Trail
In the last ten years, we’ve moved five times.1 In a few days, I will increment that count. We are moving to Santa Fe New Mexico. Our previous perambulations were driven by work. We went where the jobs were and they were all over. Because I have spent a lifetime moving for work I have … Continue reading The Santa Fe Trail
On Shiny Pony and Witch Berning
This week Canada’s shiny new Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is hanging out with Obama. You can imagine my excitement: two photogenic lightweights sharing a heartwarming bromance on the public’s dime. I am at a loss to imagine a more hurl inducing scenario. I shared my feelings with a terse CBC comment. As a dual US-Canadian … Continue reading On Shiny Pony and Witch Berning
SWAG a J/EXCEL/GIT Personal Cash Flow Forecasting Mob
While browsing in a favorite bookstore with my son, I spotted a display of horoscope themed Christmas tree ornaments. The ornaments were glass balls embossed with golden birth signs like Aquarius, Gemini, Cancer, et cetera, and a descriptive phrase that “summed up” the character of people born under a sign.

What is Required: Print Captions on the back of Photographs
I am tired of waiting for "the market" to exploit painfully obvious opportunities so I will now provide guidance, in the form of milliblog entries, that tell our less imaginative entrepreneurs just what some of us would buy if we could. Here's a deep request. How about printing captions on the back of photographs? I … Continue reading What is Required: Print Captions on the back of Photographs
Milliblog: Religous and Comic Origin Stories
Joseph Smith gets his superpowers. Have you ever noticed that the "origin stories" of religious figures and comic superheroes have a lot in common? Green Lantern is given a powerful ring. Moses is handed magic tablets. Buddha, a wealthy patrician, is horrified by injustice and suffering and decides to fix things: ditto for Batman. A powerful, … Continue reading Milliblog: Religous and Comic Origin Stories
