Any future reboot of Space:1999 is going to have to give serious thought to paring down the number of featured characters on the show, particularly if the modern 8-10 episode structure of television series prevails. There just isn’t enough time to develop more than a few story lines. One character that I believe the series
How to fix a squeaking key on the alesis vi49 (and presumably others as well) Compared to some other gear-repair posts I’ve done, this one is really pretty basic, but as someone who is often trying to repair something for the very first time, I always appreciate if I can find out ahead of time
It feels like the era known as Web 2.0 is drawing to a close. Never quite what it was cracked up to be, nevertheless the Web 2.0 age was probably the apotheosis of the vision of a worldwide network of people freely exchanging ideas instead of the one-way producer to consumer model that came before
Recap of Round 1 About two years have passed since I wrote about my first experiment with jettisoning Divi in favor of Gutenberg for this site.

For something over ten years, I was something of a Madden fanatic. I eagerly awaited Maddenoliday every year, and even those years when my Eagles were not contenders, I rooted for them every week because I knew that if the IRL Eagles did well, the Madden Eagles eventually would, too.

I don’t use AI to create my blog posts. For one thing, the world scarcely needs more blog posts in the the first place, and if you’re going to throw one on the pile at the very least one should ensure that it’s not made up of 100% recycled thoughts. That said, I do use AI
Today I accomplished what used to be the ultimate goal of Zwift — reaching level 50. True, the original top level of Zwift was 25, but for most of the game’s history, level 50 was the ultimate target. 500,000 experience points and you are top dog. According to the app, I have ridden my Zwift
In late January (2022), I upgraded this site to WordPress 5.9 and, on impulse, I decided I would go full-Gutenberg. The Gutenberg block-based editor is the future of WordPress, to be sure, and it seemed like maybe even in its less-than-fully-mature state it would be up to the demands of this very modest site. I
For developers, what do you do when it’s your plugin that’s getting the dreaded “Update failed. The response is not a valid JSON response.” message? While I was developing my WordPress plugin, I occasionally found that I was encountering the enigmatic “not a valid JSON response” message when I was trying to update my test pages. As you
