I heard that TikTok is coming back online for Americans. It will be interesting to see what happens. This whole thing seems nefarious to me. I don’t trust it.

Linux Mint 22.1 Upgrades Weekend
I run Linux Mint as my desktop and laptop operating system. It is free, open-source, and runs well on older hardware like mine. They released a terrific upgrade with some new and updated features so I have installed it on both of my machines and they run very well. I can do everything on Linux that I can do on Microsoft Windows without the bloat and slowdown.
Among the many things I like is when Linux Mint does an upgrade it doesn’t take forever to set up. I use Linux Mint 22.1 for web browsing, media, word processing, and playing games like Tetris and Solitaire and much more. So, It’s been fun setting things up and customizing the look on both machines.
Many machines are going to be without support from Microsoft as Windows 10 support ceases soon. I suggest Linux Mint for anyone who needs a fresh, modern operating system to keep their older machines running. There is a lot of support out there to help you get it running and use it for everyday tasks and the like.
A Good Leader, Leading By Example
I am not sure if this will make sense to many, but I believe a great leader is someone willing to serve. In my mind I believe you lead by example and that requires getting your hands dirty and doing some heavy lifting. Anyone who expects to get things done needs to inspire others and that means doing things that might seem impossible. There is a concept called servant-leadership and I buy into that a lot. Sometimes we can have too many chiefs and not enough workers too.
Back In The Office Monday
I worked from home on Friday due to winter weather making it hard to get around safely. Fortunately things melted enough so that I could get back to the office today. Let’s have the best day possible good people.
Smonday: It’s Real
Every Sunday around 7pm I feel that Monday is inevitable and I get all anxious and stuff. I know the weekend must come to an end but still.
Virtural Church, Real Spirit On A Winter Morning
Due to the icy weather this morning, our church canceled services. We still attended church, but virtually. My college roommate Joey is a United Methodist pastor. He led a service from his church that we watched this morning. His parishioners stayed home but he went in and streamed services via Facebook. It was good to see him in action this morning.
This reminded me of when everything went virtual due to COVID years ago. It was nice being in my pj’s this morning but my faith is best expressed in community with others and to be present in the parish house at St. Peter’s.
