I have finally settled on Ubuntu 16.04.1 which is running really well so far on the new desktop. Ubuntu is an Open Source operating system that runs like Windows or iOS but it’s free and is largely community and developer supported. At the moment I am downloading free software so I can do things like edit photos, manage media and to create stuff for the blog and so much more.

You may ask why not just use Windows…well I have been a fan of Linux for years. I have been able to take old computers and give them new life because there is less bloatware and that sort of thing. It’s also a matter of being able to upgrade without cost. My Chromebook is based of of Linux too so it runs on the same principle.

Creating and connecting is going to be a lot of fun using this new configuration.

The flames of a campfire or in a fireplace on a cold night can warm the body and soul. The flicker of the red, yellow and sometimes orange hues dancing are very hypnotic. Flames can mean other things like the heat of passion or the heat of an argument. You can get burned by flames but those same flames can illuminate a path and help you find your way. When controlled flames do amazing things but when they are left to their on devices they can be destructive and very harmful. Flames can also inspire and make you wonder. May we all keep our flames in check lest they burn someone or something we love.

Politics Has Taken A Toll On Us All #politics

November 11, 2016 Tony Burgess 5 Comments

This election cycle has taken its toll on a lot of people. It has strained relationships and made people crazy. This is a prime reason to leave Facebook for awhile. I regret some things I have said and feel like long time friendships have been changed. My friends this has been a sad time in the history of our country and it is bound to get worse. My hope is for reconciliation, forgiveness and most importantly peace.

(Sorry for the serious post here, it had to be written.)

Farewell Facebook

I said farewell to Facebook again today. A break is necessary before I say more things that are hurtful. I am still available here on the blog and on Twitter.
