Ditching Squarespace for Ghost

A contractor working on marketing, migrated a project website over to Squarespace for ease of design, SEO and all that. Fast forward a few years. The website has three or four total web pages, the almost $300 renewal is coming up, so I spin up another instance of Ghost, copy-paste

Leftover Pizza vs Fresh

Is day-old, leftover pizza (toasted) better than fresh pizza? I don't think I've ever been in a position to taste test, side-by-side, fresh pizza with properly reheated (toasted) leftover pizza, but as I sit here taking a bite of the perfectly (lightly) crunchy crush of this

Reolink vs Dahua

I posted previously on some experiences with AI programming, and I wanted to add to it a bit. There's plenty of talk about AI (particularly in the programming space) eliminating jobs. I don't have any magic crystal ball, so who knows how it'll work

The Coffee Getter

Occasionally, after a movie ends and most people are already shuffling out of the theater or clicking "next episode" on the couch, I'll stick around and watch the credits roll all the way through. Call it a habit, call it masochism, but there's something

Bank Fail

With my new bank—which I severely dislike, and that’s putting it mildly—I finally decided it was time to go paperless. You know, save a tree, stop the mailbox from turning into a recycling bin full of statements I never read, all that responsible-adult stuff. Sounds simple enough.
