My work didn't literally explode (thank God). But the figurative use of the word is very strongly intentional. I work in IT supporting a system. My boss and I are THE primary admins for this system in a company of about 20k employees. There are some others scattered around the company with lower rights, but… Continue reading Life: Work Explosion
Politics: GA Amendment 2
Shall the Constitution of Georgia be amended so as to provide for the Georgia Tax Court to be vested with the judicial power of the state and to have venue, judges, and jurisdiction concurrent with superior courts? So this amendment is very direct actually. It's moving a current "Tax Tribunal" from an executive branch reporting… Continue reading Politics: GA Amendment 2
Politics: GA Amendment 1
Shall the Constitution of Georgia be amended so as to authorize the General Assembly to provide by general law for a state-wide homestead exemption that serves to limit increases in the assessed value of homesteads, but which any county, consolidated government, municipality, or local school system may opt out of upon the completion of certain… Continue reading Politics: GA Amendment 1
Politics: Endorsements & Voting
Last week Chappell Roan (forgive me if I misspelled their name, I've heard it and read it but did not block brain-space to confirm that spelling) made news for statements regarding voting and not endorsing and.... I struggled with some of what they said. I have a problem with "Fuck the policies on the right,… Continue reading Politics: Endorsements & Voting
Thoughts: Hope for AI
There is a lot of conversation about AI right now. There is a side of it I hate - the "computers will rise up and destroy us all." We are nowhere near a sentient AI and I don't know if it will ever happen. If/When it occurs, it might be something worth discussing. There are… Continue reading Thoughts: Hope for AI
Review: DFZ Changeling Series
I like Rachel Aaron a lot. Her DFZ series are all very good. I haven't written a review on one of the series, but I did read it. Oh "darn," I guess I need to go read it again so I can give it the review it deserves. So the latest in the series is… Continue reading Review: DFZ Changeling Series
Review: Thumbs Up/Down
It has been years and I know the fight is lost... but I truly hate the change to Thumbs Up/Down ratings (Review: Rating System(s)). I hate this so much. My music algorithms are impossible. It isn't helped when I want to share kids-safe music with my son I can't just switch to a different profile… Continue reading Review: Thumbs Up/Down
Review: Kemp is the Worst
Can we all just agree Kemp is terrible at his job? Like seriously, he was a shitty Secretary of State and now he can't even do his job as governor half the time. Either he's actually incompetent (would not surprise me in the least) or he's just trying to shut up his critics without actually… Continue reading Review: Kemp is the Worst
Reboot (Again)
This year I had to just stop. Some of it has been my job, and since the crazy hasn't stopped yet, but I'm in a bit of a breathing-lull I'm going to at least explain why I dropped off the face of the earth. Or at least my blog. I can't promise I'm going to… Continue reading Reboot (Again)
Politics: Jury Duty
I haven't ever served on a jury. And I haven't been called in minute, so maybe I'll yet be able to participate in one of the most important citizen duties I can. I am writing this week because of the national news story about a certain ex-president who has a trial beginning jury selection. Now,… Continue reading Politics: Jury Duty
