So after many years of being on social media and apps, from Myspace, to Facebook, to YouTube & Instagram, to Twitter, to SnapChat, to TikTok, to BlueSky we all know it started out free, but slowly became a service that consumes a lot of time (and even now money) to participate in.... Time is money to me... (I dunno about yall). It's crazy how the transition from free service to paid service…
Hey there, we're back! After a long hiatus caused by our old hosting provider pulling tricks to milk us out of all our money! The spelling mistakes are intentionally left -in- to let you know our writing is only generated by humans, you know, the old fashioned way... Anyhow, I figured it would be good to discuss a few things relevant to the current times in tech, as a lot has transpired since my…
These days I find myself going down a rabbit hole of misdirection in finding information about people that post online these days... Whenever I see a post about a musician or other notable people, unless they're already popular, it's become quite hard to find a biography for them, or even a single place where I can see their body of work grouped together for quick preview... For example, if you go…
I've done many things in life to make a living, like consulting people as an IT architect, like editing film, and even investing in real estate and ensuring friends and associates make the right investments in it too... Real estate can often be quite profitable compared to some of the other things I specialize in... A much better investment for money and time usually compared to posting on social…
Trading cryptocurrency and stocks, technology, winning the lottery, starting a new business, pretty much everything profitable, and yes - even becoming a cult figure on social media are all based around the same principal -- You only succeed if you invest both an epic amount of time and money. We now live in a world where extremely wealthy individuals start charities just for the tax write-offs,…
As I doom scroll through Twitter these days, I feel my brain getting scrambled and fried like an omelet with far too many add-ons at Waffle House... I can't help the multiplying feeling of sadness as I realize that the bot infiltration is in full effect now more than ever on Twitter and many other platforms, as I browse tons of no-context "breadcrumb-marketing" posts, based on trending topics,…
It's crazy how we're always talking about the effect of modern things like TikTok, Spotify, & Ai on music, but the music industry is still all based on wildly complex, mysterious, and ancient copyright and royalty payment systems that take ages for clearances and payouts while still not being able to report on and manage industry communications in real time. For a bit of background, I've been…
In many places, my spell check now works quite poorly. Especially on my mobile phone. I know it's not just me experiencing this because I've observed some of the very same mistakes I usually make in posts of others on social media, and even in print articles... Examples of it are found when I try to type words with apostrophes like "It's", but in a lot of cases now, the apostrophe is combined with…
Plenty of people are complaining on social apps and sites now about their disappointing experiences with modern technology... It's becoming more and more easy to see a break in the enchantment that once existed online with everyone once before... People are becoming more an more angry in comments on Twitter (X), TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram towards each other, and complaining that no one is…
We wake up every morning wishing something will inspire us or recognize anything good in what we've done, yet it often never seems to come, day after day. We see glorious headlines about companies doing amazing new things -- like removing headphone jacks from mobile phones, creating info harvesting social apps and Ai tools, and increasing dividends to shareholders by cutting costs on airplane…
I wrote this on a Saturday, because I know the most thoughtful and genuine idea makers, the most disruptive idea makers, and the most inquisitive business minds, work all week long... It's also a time when the content crawlers (and often predatory) "normal business machine" is in weekend mode -- I write here for human beings, not for bots that only pay attention to editorialize ideas from others…
In this post social media takeover world it seems as if we're watching short videos and reading Ai generated articles more than ever. I can assure you that on here, none of the posts are generated by Ai, and that can easily be proven by occasional grammar and spelling errors you may identify that I frequently miss in my proofreading review. Nonetheless, I try to make my topics timeless and…
I've spent years on social media as a musician and comedian posting my work and deep thoughts into the ether. Through it I've connected at times with many, and even been booked for events and interviews, posting on social apps in many ways has mostly felt like building sand castles for me rather than building a brick house. I can't help imagining what it would be like for respectable artists like…
I was on TikTok the other day just browsing, and a pop-up came up on my screen, encouraging me to make a new template for them with the possibility of profiting form making it attached. This piqued my usual skepticism of social media work schemes, as I have spent many years creating and uploading to the platform without ever making a dime. I am not resentful about how I've spent that time, as I…
There are many ways in which so called "algorithms" can be created to carefully determine who succeeds on the apps and platforms we use every day. As governments have lost their grip on technology in the midst of aging and non-technical oversight, we as entrepreneurs and consumers are increasingly at the mercy of factors we can't seem to figure out in the process of just making a living. I've seen…
