From December 2021, I Look At The Year’s Worst Password Choices.

Follow my blog on Facebook (yes, I know)

Here isn't getting as much traffic for my blog as I'd hoped. I opened a Tumblr page as part of several post-Twitter alternatives, but mostly just using it to follow a few fan comics/people I followed on Twitter. I'm also tired of dealing with spambots on here.

As such, I thought I'd reopen my dormant Facebook page to link to new blog posts on, as well as for anyone who won't use anything else besides Meta's site.

My thoughts and concerns about ChatGPT and chatbots | Diverse Tech Geek

With ChatGPT and chatbot tech becoming the next hot thing, I raise a few concerns about this technology becoming more widespread.

While ChatGPT and chatbots are all the rage, I have some doubts about its widespread use, especially after the CNET incident.

Got up in the middle of the night last week to photograph the blood moon lunar eclipse.

A look at references to Election Day in cartoons, from classic comic strip "Bloom County" to Disney's 2010s series "Gravity Falls."

So long for now, Twitter

Apparently Musk is allowing Trump back on Twitter... which was my final straw for what I was willing to tolerate, even after Musk's chaos. Thus, for now, I'm signing off of Twitter, and will try to use Tumblr (as well as Mastodon, Instagram, and my blog) more. Granted, Twitter's immediate future might make pulling out moot (I expect downtime due to the World Cup, on top of any bugs/security breaches/other problems), but still...

As for Tumblr, I figure I'd use this page to A) catch anyone who isn't using any other services, B) as a makeshift stand-in for a Facebook page, and C) to post links to my blog. I'm not sure I quite fit into Tumblr culture, though. Still, we'll see how here works out. Wish me luck!
