Apple rolled-out their new phones and tablets today. It’s clear that they’re missing Steve Jobs because their stuff today was boring, old, and overpriced. Both the phone and tablet announced today, are lower in specifications than existing products already offered or announced by Microsoft. Oh, on the new Apple tablet demoed today, they were using…

Another Trip Update for October 28th
This week I attended Freegen Church in Lapu Lapu. This is my girl’s old church. This was our second visit this month. I was wearing a prominent colored shirt and made a short video of the praise music which I later posted on Facebook. Yesterday, I found out that the photo collage that went on…

I’m about ten days into this trip. Here are a few observations thus far. Getting a visa extension to stay here was easy. The hardest part was the demand that payment be made in cash. The cost was just north of 4,000 pesos ($66). I needed to complete a form, pay a fee, and then…

These last few weeks have been horrible, informative, and whatever the heck is the opposite of fun. I’m frankly a little depressed and discouraged as I hope to explain below. The fluid in the lungs is back. It is not as bad as it was before it was drained in the hospital, but it is…

Yesterday (Tuesday Jan 21st), my wife had another PET Scan. It is the first one in 2025. Her last was back in November. The results were even more dismal than either of us expected. This PET scan was using a newer machine, and the results were written by a different doctor. The scan report didn’t…

If you recall, we have been saying that Israel’s solution to the October 7th war will be to empty Gaza of its citizens by either deporting them to other countries or bombing them into extinction. Well guess what? President Trump is proposing peace in the Gaza war by deporting virtually all the folks in Gaza…

President Trump went to the National Cathedral the day after he was inaugurated into office. This has traditionally been a service considered part of the inauguration festivities. Normally prayers are offered for the new President to be guided by God into having a successful time of prosperity and leadership. The Cathedral views itself as an…

Last fall, I found out that my Dell Alienware computer, purchased in 2020, was long in the tooth. It happened like this. After being out for over a year, I finally decided to purchase Diablo IV. I bought it just before the first expansion pack, Vessel of Hatred, was released. I installed the game without…

Insurrection Day was just as entertaining as you would expect with Kamala Harris certifying her own defeat as she declared Donald Trump as the next President of these United States. Oh, what sweet irony. Trump is not even in office yet, but his influence looms large on the world stage. His comments about possible tariffs…
