You’ve Been Doing It Wrong for Years

Here’s Why

A sheep attempting maths adds 2 and 2 to get 5. It’s not the best image, but I found it amusing.

Your Phone Sucks — And It’s Not Just You

Smartphones are getting worse and we are paying for it.

A variety of cell phones. They have only one camera, so they must be old.

Writing Like It’s 1997

The benefits of being ripped-off

I love this image. It’s a bunch of old technology in miniature form, including a Gameboy. I love this image so much I use it as a wallpaper.

The “Mr. Robot” Effect

Why beginners flock to Kali Linux

Spooky silhouette of a hooded person in front of a bunch of text terminals and an IDE for coding. It looks far more impressive and scary than it actually is. It’s a caricature.

From Toddler to Teen

The Power of Encouragement and Praise in Child Development

A child drawing a person. Nothing funny. It relates to an anecdote about my daughter drawing a cat. It’s somewhere in this article.

Tomorrow Starts the Year of the Linux Desktop

Tomorrow Never Comes

Ugh. I hate that I did this…Linux Mascot (Tux) on Frozen Computer, Melting, as interpreted by Dall-E 3.0 and edited by the author. I mean…it has a mouse coming out of a number pad. Wires are sticking out where they shouldn’t be. Tux looks all wrong. But, I find the image just funny enough to use. I tried drawing it myself but…nobody wants to see that mess.
