I don't use the maps.google.com URL anymore because, 99% of the time, I use the app. Whether it's the PWA desktop app on Windows, or the Android app on my phone, I just don't go to the website of Google properties anymore, I

Yes. Children will play in a cardboard box, and together my sister and I can testify as living proof that children can play with anything you set before them. I think middle-class parents are driven to keep-up-with-the-Joneses, and unfortun

Me and voice assistants are like me on the ballroom dance floor. I loved to take the lessons and learn all sorts of moves and chain them all together and look impressive, but when I got onto the floor with a partner, I just wouldn't kn

My job is sweet. The management really doesn't go in for meetings, especially not all-hands, nor 1:1s for us at the lowest level. We have onboardings and special messages and all those are recorded in case someone misses, it's no

Software is often described as "tools" and so an analogy to a drill or a magnifying glass is as apt as any. In fact a car is a good analogy to a browser because we use browsers as sort of a "second home" in our computer

With the mental disorder(s) I suffer from, whatever names might be attached to them, my stamina is poor and I find it somewhat impossible to serve as a full-time employee. My last in-office part-time job was stressful. My supervisor critici

Just remember that this has been coming down the pike for much longer than consumers had computers in our households. Even if we'd never picked up Atari 2600s at Sears by the truckload, even if we'd never hauled home VIC-20 and C-

I also feel bad for that Google kid I knew in high school. People were always asking him where to find stuff. He thought that changing his name from Alta Vista would stem the tide. Tragic.

ADHD is a "disorder" that is predicated on "this person's behavior annoys people around him and therefore should be corrected." ADHD is only a disorder because human pegs must be pounded into the square holes of cla

Well, guess where the opportunities lie these days? Secure document destruction! It's true; I don't know if there are for-profit operations with blind employees, but there are definitely non-profits with blind volunteers who destr

Just because you feel undignified, or humiliated, or useless, does not mean that you are. Don't swallow the lies.

I'm a traditionally very paranoid, very DIY admin/hacker type. A knowledgeable friend turned my opinion to the cloud a few years ago. He simply asked me whether I had DLP, an IPS and enterprise-grade firewall for my home systems.

I live in a 1BR apartment and it's huge; much too large for me. I moved here 7 years ago, from a small studio (efficiency) place. The last place had a dorm-size refrigerator, a non-walk-in closet, no tub, etc. Between there and here, I

Is it "mental illness" or is it acting out? Is it brain issues or behavioral issues that are the problem? We have known for millennia that original sin is carried and transmitted by everyone in the human race. John Bradshaw posite

What is "full" Internet access? I mean really, what does it mean to you, or to Windows, that I have "full" access to the Internet? For me personally, I only visit a few walled gardens, so as long as I had my Google, my W

Religion was only half the reason for the Gregorian calendar reform. Church and state, being interlinked and intertwined, the civil calendar was gradually slipping away from correct calibration with the equinoxes and thus the seasons. So it

Let's just put this in real-world terms we all can understand here. If I sign up to an MMORPG and I'm outfitting my Paladin, should I choose the "boiler plate mail"? Does a space matter?

Conan O'Brien once introduced a running gag with the explanation that if he mentioned a fake website on the air, the network (NBC) was obligated to purchase and operate that website and it had better not exist already. (You could hear

Around 1992, I applied for and obtained a .com domain name and a Class C network, free of charge, no expiration dates. I had seen (probably on Usenet) a little tutorial about what information was expected in the applications and so I faked
