Reverting back to a simpler version of social media and socializing on the web
I was reading yet another article about how Facebook has been abusing user trust by dealing with their data among third-party companies (BBC). This is just one example of a couple of other recent “trip-ups” Facebook has had in the public: Sri Lanka accuses Facebook over hate speech after deadly riots Facebook-Cambridge Analytica data scandal […]

Late October Update
Wow, this been a whole month since I published any updates. I’ve been pretty busy at work, I’ve been wasting my time at home with Battlefield 1 on the PS4 and I have been steadily riding my bike. Besides that, I took a trip to New York City earlier this month, that was really fun! […]

Nightmare #1 (Jetski of the sky)
I’m writing this right after waking up from a nightmare so it’s fresh and as accurate as I can remember it. I am on a call with my wife and she’s talking about cheap tickets to somewhere like Cuba or Puerto Rico. We haven’t really talked about those in a long time so it was […]

Late September update
So I’ve been pretty quiet on my blog recently. I also deleted social media apps except Reddit off my phone. At the beginning of September, I was mostly not on the computer after work.

Bookends update, August 12th
It’s been a few weeks since I wrote the the initial Bookends post. I’ve been taking a couple of hours every week to work on the setting up Bookends and today, I sat down and got the search working using OpenLibrary’s API. The search works by doing a naïve search so I think right now, […]

Deleting data.usmanity.com
Yesterday, I made the tough decision to get rid of my data.usmanity.com server, it’s been sitting idly for over 6 months and I haven’t really done much with it. I had been waiting for some time to rewrite some of the app code to handle sending different forms of data over and I just didn’t […]
