  • Book clubs 2026-04: Options for AprilApril 22, 2026
    March was extremely productive in my personal life, but not so much for reading. I was still finishing My Friends by Fredrick Bachman, and the first 20-25% was a struggle. I loved it, in the end. And I’ve been doing huge personal projects, so no reviews lately. Let’s take a look at the options for … Continue reading →
  • AI testing: The Bad…Time loops, tech support quirks, and driftApril 18, 2026
    By now, most people have seen some form of AI crop up in their tools. The most obvious one is Google’s search engine, which provides results from its AI mode first in the list.

    For those of you who don’t know, as I didn’t blog about this much before, Jacob decided to have surgery on his legs this year, which he did at the end of February. I’ve held off posting anything as I didn’t want to ask Jacob what he was comfortable with me sharing, but today was … Continue reading →
  • Using Calibre to embrace my inner librarian for ebooksMarch 23, 2026
    I have used Calibre literally for years to manage all my ebooks. It started way back when Kindle was doing a huge business of people pushing freebies of their ebooks. Some good, some slush, all free. But it meant a LOT of ebooks to manage. So I tried a couple of programs, most of which … Continue reading →
