As soon as I saw the keynote launching the MacBook Pro 16 inch, I wanted it. It wasn’t a matter of if I were going to get it, it was only a matter of how much the model I bought would be souped up. I had to wait to get it until I returned to…

An Unscheduled Vacation From Blogging
It all started with the rain. It has been a long time since I have lived anywhere, where the rain can continue day after day. I am used to an occasional day of rain, or even more often just a morning or afternoon of rain. So I really didn’t think to check the ten day…
A Problem with WordPress: Workaround
The other day I logged on to WordPress and went to the My Site page. Going down to post, I clicked on Drafts. This drew up the list of unfinished post. I really should kill some of them, as I don’t think I am going to be going back to them. I clicked on the…

A matter of keyboards: the nomad’s dilemma
Follow An Inconvenient Life on WordPress.com The Early Days: My first exposure to keyboards, outside of typewriters was the card punch machine we used at the academy to punch the cards for the Wang Programmable calculator.

Paring down my gear: Part one
Before leaving Hawaii to become a homeless nomad, I spent months going over packing lists on numerous websites. I thought that I had come up with the perfect packing list for myself, which would be flexible enough for traveling through many countries. Of course, I was way too optimistic. This is the first in a…
