The suggested web is also killing the once popular blogs that people used to follow and were a medium of freedom of expression. Now what I read daily is from my Facebook feed.

One of the better developers on our team is a woman. She’s quite skilled in JavaScript and is transitioning to Dart without fail. She handles large refactors, etc with no problem. There is no gender deficiency.

I have to say that in all honesty, I am glad I grew up so long ago that it has never occurred to me to be offended by the generalities of others. My elderly parents taught me not to take everything personally. It was a good lesson. I find little offends me. I have no interest in living in a gender neutral world. If a person were to rid the world of…

I joined Medium for several reasons; it’s less personal than Facebook, more accessible than WordPress, I can publish short bouts of inspiration without too much editing. If I don’t get too many likes that’s okay. I have been reading Chimamanda Ngozi Aditchie, and by God can she write! Left me in a rut for a while, as if I’ve received a knockout in a…

Aereo was an app that provided cable tv for a low $10 a month but was sued into bankruptcy by comcast which owns all of the universal content.

Interesting article, I didn’t know that they hadn’t loaded Siri with stress/crisis protocol for as long as that… it seems silly what with more and more of us thinking that using a phone’s native software to help us with a problem, other than convenience, is mad.
