I’m not cursing, I swear (ha). It’s just an abbreviation of the name of an event in which I took part today... BITCHSTERDAM!!!

Why do I soooooo want to do this? Buy a replica Jonathon Moxon jersey from the movie Varsity Blues direct from “Mox” himself James Van Der Beek. And 100% of the proceeds go to helping those suffering from cancer to pay for their treatment, including James.

Not that many of you were following me or whatnot, but I have shut down Find My access to the public. Well, it’s not shut down completely. But I removed access to everyone that is not either Katie or Nathan.

Yes, I’m now on BlueSky. I’m so new to it that I’m still second guessing if I should capitalize the S in Sky. Hmmm…

I’m never going to be able to look at the names of the NHL’s Nashville Predators and Edmonton Oilers the same way again after this…

To be filed under reasons why you can’t trust AI to do everything and you need to still use quality assurance or proofreaders…Mattel Toys announced a few months ago that they were going to use Generative AI to create packaging for their line of Barbie dolls for the holidays.

I wrote a post. I posted a post. I re-opened the post to copy & paste the post to create another similar post.

So much for abstaining from purchasing an Apple Watch, eh?

I read an article about last night’s MTV Video Music Awards that lauded Lenny Kravitz performance of a three-song medley so I looked up the video on YouTube.

And now I know why my Fitbit/iPhone sync isn’t working… Google is killing off the physical Fitbit devices in favor of supporting their own Pixel watches.

It may be time to retire the old Fitbit.

Vudu, the service that sells digital copies of TV and movies, gets it right on so many things.

So am I expected to wear the tactical armor above or below my sequined gown while BBQing with my new free garden tool.

Did you know that sometimes, on iOS and iPadOS, when you delete an app, you don’t always delete an app? It’s still there. Or maybe this is just for me.

I was recently introduced to a cool feature on the History.com website called This Day in History that allows you view events of historical significance that happened either on the current date or on a date of your choosing.

Turns out today is my 19th Blogiversary here on Typepad (26th year overall running some version of kapgar.com). 

What would you choose?

To be filed under “I’ve Really Got Nothing Better To Do” comes this gem of a fifty states breakdown of favorite “Dad Rock” bands.

I know Apple has been working pretty hard to integrate apps on their devices so that they communicate back and forth and share information.

A friend at work who is a fellow horror film buff introduced me to a podcast called This May Hurt a Bit (Apple | Spotify | YouTube). The two hosts, James Strayer and John C Meyers, review horror franchises one movie per episode.

Have any of you fellow iPhone users notice that the contextual menus have changed when you tap and hold on an app icon?

Nathan just took a Which Ghostface Are You quiz (link unavailable) that asks totally random and unrelated questions and spits back at you which of the, so far, 12 killers that have donned Ghostface’s mask in the saga you are.

I’ve been going down a rabbit hole of NPR Tiny Desk concerts lately and I love them. After a while of just listening to the occasional concert, today I decided to just start playing them straight through.

Today, while going to our niece’s birthday party, Katie and I tuned in to our first episode of New Heights, the podcast cohosted by NFL brothers Travis and Jason Kelce.

Oh man, was I jazzed tonight!

Last weekend, I did an action figure re-creation of this cover of Jason Aaron’s Marvel Star Wars #14.

I popped open Feedly today to catch up on some blog and other RSS-fed reading. I was shocked to discover I had 238 posts waiting for me.

This is so weird… I wrote a blog post and accidentally published it twice.

This is Brittany Pietsch and she was just laid off from CloudFlare.

It’s become very easy to tell when Katie is about to head home from work this winter. How?

Considering I was in first place either solo or tied for the entire season save for one week when I was in second place, the fact that I finished the fantasy football season at work in seventh place really sucks rocks.

dislike of or prejudice against people from other countries.

Oh man, did my fantasy football team suck rocks this weekend. After spending nearly the entire season in first place, I crash and burn in spectacular fashion in the first week of the playoffs.

I was playing around with the LensFX app trying to create a “working” head lamp on my Harlego-Davidson Fat Boy. I like how it turned out.

Nope. No surprise here whatsoever…

The best thing about Black Friday? It’s pretty much the one day of the year when EVERY SINGLE website or e-commerce retailer you’ve ever subscribed to willingly (or been subscribed to unwillingly) contacts you.
