Sometimes I miss film for cameras. I miss the smell of fresh film, the foil wrappers or the little cans for 35mm. Most of all I miss the 48 paragraphs of fine print disclaimers written by lawyers on the boxes. :-)
The questions are more important than the answers.
Is it my imagination or have many map-centric websites (ie weather sites, etc) moved away from Google maps to other map sources?
Procrastination Files: Two things I really need to work on… Real Soon Now.
- Good, secure, cloud based storage.
- Paid email service on my own domain and quit using freebie emails.
Retailer: If your shopping cart locks up twice when I try to place my first order with you, don’t expect me to come back.
People keep posting stuff on the Internet.
Imagine if the US Government went after the users of Ransomware with the same zeal they went after Edward Snowden.
Indiana was the nation’s 10th largest wine producer until Prohibition wiped it out. Production has returned and there are some good Indiana wines.

You don’t know how much it pains me to even partially agreed with Trump, but he is right on one thing, the USA doe...Q: “Why do superheros wear spandex all the time?”
A: Heck, if you had the body of a superhero, you’d wear spandex all the time too. And maybe a cape. Next!
Reading: Inspector Gamache series by Louise Penny. Smart plots, with great characters and setting. Good dialog with just enough wit. The writing is very much a cut above the usual in the genre. Recommended.
Watching: Murder by the Lake

They were the warm fuzzy darlings 15 years ago. Maybe they should roll out the Larry and Sergey Show again. Perhaps on unicycles.
There is frost on the rooftops and in patches on the lawns this morning. Hopefully, that will kill off some pesky insects.
Well I finally turned on the heat in the house today. It’s been 58 degrees F inside for the last 5 days and no warm spell in sight.
Why Use a RSS Feed Reader?
First: What is RSS all About? I have done the newsletter thing before I started blogging. Back in the 1990’s and e...Halloween Candy: at my local Jewel store many of the old standbys were MIA, Junior Mints, Raisinettes, Chunky, Baby Ruth, Payday, etc. Those awful sugar candy corn things were still around. They are like the cockroach of the candy industry.
I just bought Halloween candy. Man, this suff is expensive. If the size of the bars gets any smaller we might as well hand the kids empty wrappers. I’m thinking consolidation in the candy industry has not been good for consumers.
I early voted. Easy, no lines, fast. The new voting machines were a little confusing but they leave a nice paper trail. #indiana #nwindiana #local #vote
New statue of Tuskegee airman. This is what I want to see more of. Let’s honor minorities who contributed to America and broke new ground.
Godzilla car horn - Boingboing. You’ll thank me for passing this along - someday.
I have 3 laptops: Mac, Linux and Windows. I find I’m using the Linux machine the most. Part of this is by conscious choice, part because I just like the stability, security and quiet of Linux. Plus I like the feel of the Linux laptop’s keyboard better and Windows remains - needy although bettter than past versions.
Oddly, on tablets and phones, I’ve set aside my Android devices and have gone back to my aging iPad Air 2 and an iPhone. So far the iPad keeps chugging along and has the apps for things like streaming services without the privacy problems of Android.
Ton Zijlstra makes an astute observation on Google Chrome it’s not a browser, it’s advertisement delivery software and he goes on to explain why that’s bad. He has an excellent point and his post is well worth reading.
