Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Monday to you all. Did you have a good weekend? Ours was fine. We watched the Red Sox and finished the first season of The Punisher. I also took care of a few errands yesterday. BDH and Little Buddha said we're going to start the week with a short to-do list, which sounds nice, because I am going to need a little nap time later this afternoon. Are you ready to get started? Let's do this. There's a fresh pot of coffee on the counter, so grab yourself a nice medium DD, because... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Friday to you all. What's the plan for the weekend? BDH and Little Buddha said the forecast calls for some nasty weather starting late tonight and lasting well into Sunday. That doesn't sound like fun, especially if we need to drive anywhere. We might just keep things quiet and focus on watching the Red Sox, and maybe another episode or two of The Punisher. That works. The guys also told me today should be nice, so I'll go take care of a few errands once we finish here. There's a fresh pot of... Read more →

Hi everyone, How are you? Our crew is just grinding away this week. We took care of the car issue yesterday, so that was good. It turns out that I was right, and there was another problem. Fortunately, that one will be covered by the warranty. The birds are chirping, and BDH and Little Buddha are eager to get started, so let's do this. The guys made a fresh pot of coffee, so grab yourself a nice medium DD, because it's time to clear out some Thursday Clutter. In a story from NBCNews.com, former national security officials say the information... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back. How are you? Monday threw us a curveball - it turns out I have to bring my car to the mechanic tomorrow. I don't think it's a huge deal. However, I probably shouldn't drive until they fix the issue, and that's throwing off the to-do list. Also, we will probably be out of the office on Wednesday to deal with this. That wasn't the best way to start the week, but our crew was still pretty productive yesterday. BDH and Little Buddha are trying to figure out which of today's errands are within walking distance. If... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Monday to you all. How was your weekend? Overall, I'd say ours went pretty well, especially because our IT crew successfully swapped out computers, and now everything is running smoothly and quickly again. Let's hear it for BDH and Little Buddha! (Our busy duo also finished reading their latest book, which they thought was fascinating. Check out their review of Careless People.) Today's to-do list isn't that crazy, which is a nice way to start the week. I have to call someone after we're done here, and then it's just a handful of... Read more →

The odds are good that you've seen news coverage of Sarah Wynn-Williams' new memoir, Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism. The author was the former director of global public policy at Facebook (now Meta), where she saw the inner workings of the social media titan up close. Wynn-Williams shines a bright light on the failures of the company's top management, which is why Meta has been working so hard to keep her from publicizing this book. It's understandable why the company doesn't want this story available to the public. The title invokes the characters of... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Friday to you all. What a week. Thank you all again for your patience while we work through our IT issues. Part of the problem has been our web host, but they seem to be back on track. The rest of it is on our end, and BDH and Little Buddha decided that we really need to swap out computers this weekend. Hopefully it will be smooth sailing once that's finished. Things are working okay at the moment, so don't anyone make any sudden movements, and maybe we can squeeze out one last... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back. How are you? We're still fighting some IT challenges, so that's a little frustrating, but BDH and Little Buddha are doing everything they can to keep everything working, while I mostly stay out of their way. Are you ready to get started? Let's do this. The guys made coffee, so grab yourself a nice medium DD, because it's time to clear out some Wednesday Clutter. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts criticized Donald Trump yesterday for calling for the impeachment of the federal judge who ordered the administration to stop sending a group of Venezuelans to...

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Tuesday to you all. Our crew is mostly just relieved that it's no longer Monday. That was a rough one right from the start. First, I slept terribly, and then we discovered that our web host still hadn't fixed their problems over the weekend. There was nothing our IT crew (i.e. BDH and Little Buddha) could do about it this time, so we all just sat and waited for things to get back on track. Between that and the daylong rain, our total productivity level came in at approximately 1%. However, it looks... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Friday to you all. Oh, are we glad to see you. We were hit again by network gremlins this morning. Thankfully, our crack IT staff (i.e. BDH and Little Buddha) kept working at it, and they were finally able to fix the problem (although we still have to figure out how to keep it from happening again.) Honestly, I told the guys we might need to throw in the towel for today at one point. However, they wouldn't hear of it, so let's give a round of applause to our hardworking duo. This... Read more →
