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!!!

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.

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.

In 2011, I got back into comic books for about the bajillionth time in my life but this was the one that stuck. I’ve stayed fairly consistent for 12.5 years now.

While perusing Instagram, I discovered an online service that allows you to customize a Peanuts-inspired Christmas ornament.

After losing last week and killing my perfect record and putting me in a tie for first place based on record (I have more points overall, so I was in true first), my fantasy football team at work came back in a pretty big way and won this week.

And just like that… my season-starting seven-game win streak that has kept me at the top of my work fantasy football league all season has come to an end.

I have seen some interesting methods which advertisers have used to lure people into downloading their apps.

I was checking out my fantasy football (U.S.) team and noticed something weird...

I absolutely adore Google Chrome browser tab groups. I mean, it was pretty revolutionary when they introduced browser tabs way back whenever, but to then build on that by having browser tab groups where you can create a master tab with sub-tabs in them? I love being able to keep multiple tabs open that are related to a project and then group them under a client/project name. It has made my work life so much more manageable.
