Tumblr's Trouble: An Opinion
By now, everyone has heard about Tumblr's decision to eliminate all things adult-oriented by the 17th. The website claims that non-erotic nude art is safe, but Instagram user (and painter) Dan Lacey (aka danlaceythepainterofpancakes) can tell you firsthand that this exception is a lie. The cut-off date is also a lie, as there have been several sex workers and non-sex work creators/users who've been flagged and/or have had things removed from their blogs the moment that the first decree was released. Not to mention, they're marked as NSFW whether they want to be or not. Repeat offenders are set to be removed completely. Meanwhile, the porn bots that have plagued Tumblr for a while are still out to play. (I get followed by at least three to four a day.)

The Tale of Boris, the Not So Intelligent Robot. Top Story - December 2018.
Ah, the Ruskies! They are seemingly everywhere, and seemingly unstoppable these days. They are manipulating our elections, if not our President.

We Live in a Programmer's World
BRYCE ON TECHNOLOGY - Their perspective affects us all greatly. Click for AUDIO VERSION. Recently, I was putting up some outdoor Christmas lights and, wanting to schedule when they would turn on and off at night, I tried to adjust a timer to suit my needs. I didn't have an instruction booklet, just the timer. I had worked with many timers over the years, but this one gave me fits in trying to set it. What I believed to be on/off switches, of course, didn't work. Then I noticed the lights went on and off mysteriously. I tried many variations of the settings, but nothing seemed to work. Feeling stumped, I thought back to something my father told me years ago, "You have to remember, this was designed by programmers, and they don't think like the rest of us do." I then applied reverse logic to the settings and "Voila!" it worked perfectly.

The Nuheara IQbuds Boost Are the Future of Hearing Aids
Slowly but surely, I'm pretty sure I'm going deaf. I could maybe blame that fact on attending concerts as frequently as I do, maybe it's just bad genes, or it could be because I had a major tendency to listen to music at a blisteringly-loud level for most of my teen years. Either way, I've started to notice the toll it took on me lately.
