Something About Internet Opinions

Hey, guess what???? The Internet is full of opinions and commentary. Like noses, we all have opinions about one thing or another. Some opinions are informed and helpful, while others are not. I don’t believe everyone feels the same way about everything. You look at what people are saying and it comes from a place of one’s experiences and values. No matter where you go on the Interweb someone has something to say. It’s OK to have opinions, just try not to be hurtful or personal in expressing them. I am certain that whoever reads this will have some feedback for me.

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 Fresh Look For My Blog, Thanks To An Older Theme

I finished (for now) renovations on my blog. I am using the 2015 Default WordPress theme. It features a sidebar on the left instead of the more common right side. With some coding and creativity, you can make a 10-year-old theme look current. I used the Firefox browser to make all my edits and to research ways of manipulating the fonts and colors. It’s good to change things up every now and then. Please check it out when you have a moment.

Doing Some Tinkering On The Blog

Friends, I am renovating the blog. Some stuff will look weird until I figure things out. Your patience and connection with me is appreciated. Thank you all very much.

Hello Friends, I Am Back

Dear gentle bloggers. I am back after a few days away. Sometimes you just need to take a break from things you enjoy. The good news is that I am renewed and ready to resume regular posts. I am hoping to extend my reach and engagement. That means having more quality posts. Sometimes I feel like I am a little boring. Comment and let me know what you think. Good feedback is always welcome. So as I always have said, “keep on blogging” and share the journey.

It’s Left-Handers Day Around The World – Blaugust – #LeftHandersDay

International Left-Handers Day is an international day observed annually on August 13 to celebrate the uniqueness and differences of left-handed individuals. Being left-handed can be difficult in a world designed primarily by right-handed humans. Studies suggest that approximately 10% of people are left-handed.

I am proud to say that I am very left-handed. Special people are born blessed with this gift. Many remarkable people are left-handed such as my Missus, Prince William, Oprah Winfrey, Lady Gaga, Barack Obama, Eminem, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Buzz Aldrin, Lebron James, Jon Stewart, Babe Ruth, and Morgan Freeman are all terrific southpaws.

To all my left-handed friends, we are truly in our right minds. Have a great left-handers day to all the good people who observe.
