Update: It’s August 2020 and there is no solution in sight. I guess if you really cared you would switch to Direct TV who recently made a deal and now shows Altitude. This, however, is Comcast’s point. They really are not worried about losing a significant number of subscribers. This is putting your money where … Read more
What if I forgot all about this blog for too long? What if I wanted to bring it back? I’ll need some content… I’ll need some online marketing… I should document it as a case study… Coming soon.
I’m an old school tech junkie from way back. Not punch cards way back, but green screen terminals way back. I can’t resist new toys, new technologies, and new idea. However, I’m also practical. As a father, small business owner, and freelance financial writer, my hands are full. So, when it comes to trying out new … Read more
The Olympics are half over, and I just realized that I don’t hate the coverage. Check out my Credit Karma tax service review here. Most years, I complain and complain about the coverage of the Olympics and various sporting events. However, this year, it seems to have struck the right note. I’m not sure if … Read more
I was going through some pictures, looking back through all my Dad photos, and came across this really nice shot of a Colorado sunrise from August near Denver. This is just the “auto” setting on the camera with no post touch up, or any filter. Came out pretty nice. It’s funny how many really great … Read more
A little over a decade ago, I worked for IBM. Actually, it was a consulting arm of IBM called ISSC. It got rebranded as IBM Global Services. I don’t have any idea what it is called today. Anyway, the point is that I never should have left. I never got paid more money for doing … Read more
The headline is actually deceiving. Apple does not slow down your iPhone based on age, or as some conspiracy theorists allege, based on when a new iPhone is coming out. However, it does throttle performance to slow the phone down. Slower iPhone With Old Battery As it turns out, Apple begins to throttle (limit) the … Read more
I was pretty excited when the email for Redbox on Demand showed up in my email. The devil is always in the details, but with “On Demand Starting at $1.99” and pictures of movies like Wonder Woman and The Hitman’s Bodyguard, I was ready to rent. So, I decided to crank out a Redbox On … Read more
Sometimes, you can just see the money fly by. I’ve been thinking about, not seriously, but enough to have it rattling around in my brain, about writing an article about Patreon Alternatives. It would be a look at the best ways for someone wanting to do fundraising, or crowdfunding (or is it crowd funding?), who … Read more
Looks like there aren’t a lot of reports of catastrophe when updating to WordPress 4.9, so I’ve taken the plunge and updated this site and some of my others. So far, it seems that most of the improvements are under the hood, with the exception of implementing some features that allow for better “customization” of … Read more
Updated Update: Seeing a lot of food on the Treasure Truck, which violates my rule against buying food off of trucks, out of vans on the side of the road, or at gas stations. Four Filet Mignon Steaks (6 oz) for $36 is a pretty good deal though. I suppose if anyone has figured out … Read more
So, I just got my windshield replaced. It wasn’t as expensive as I remember, or maybe I just have more money now, I’m not sure. Either way, the process has changed a bit, at least here in Denver. For starters, the guy came to my house instead of me taking it in, even though I … Read more
