SAFER TECH (and cheap) FOR KIDS What mobile tech do you want your 9 or 12 year old girl (or boy) to have? Up until a couple years ago the choices were limited, expensive, and BAD. There were no inexpensive or GOOD choices. Your options were between an Apple or Android phone. Yes, you could …

GUEST POST from Don – Contemptible Resentment
CONTEMPTIBLE RESENTMENT We know about road rage and things like gaslighting because they are continually in the news or part of posts on the internet. Well! You know you can trust the internet to explain things well, right??? But what about Resentment and Contempt. Of the two I believe more people misunderstand Contempt.

GUEST POST from Don – Improving On…
IMPROVING ON… There are things “wise guys” say … which I believe don’t match reality. I’m sure I can improve on their kind of “wisdom.” The following ARE actual quotes from modern “medicine men.” 1. “Don’t Complain.

GUEST POST from Don – Templates +
TIRED OF TEMPLATES + It is true that if you look for anything on the internet you will often find the lowest possible denominator.

GUEST POST from Don – I Want a Car
I WANT A CAR Driving home after dark from Tennessee recently, my wife touched a button on the steering wheel by mistake and exclaimed, “I don’t know what I just told the car to do.” Nothing showed up on the dashboard, but if you change a radio station a light on the dash tells you. Why would …
