Back in July of 2018 I wrote an article (YouTube Is *Still* Showing Me Channels I’ve Unsubscribed From In My Subscription Feed) discussing YouTube showing channels I’ve unsubscribed to in my subscription feed – a problem that many seem to have. I can presume others are having this issue, anyway, for one simple reason: the […]
In a last effort for me to milk the Firefox add-on issue from over this weekend, and to at least let people who may find the page know what’s up, Firefox release 66.0.4 was made available yesterday and contains in its release notes: “Repaired certificate chain to re-enable web extensions that had been disable” The […]
So, Microsoft finally got around to putting up the May Games With Gold video… 3 days late. Yep, they waited until May 3rd to upload it. Go figure. Whatever. We’ll cover it just like we do every Games with Gold announcement, so without any further delay, let’s get to it. It can’t be all bad, […]
Last night was a pretty big mess for Firefox users (like myself) as the add-on functionality of the browser was, effectively, completely broken, due to an issue involving a security certificate expiring, rendering every add-on for the browser invalid. To put it really simply, a while back Mozilla began validating add-ons themselves, giving them a […]
I was preparing for another late night of getting articles out for you when, while chatting with a friend on Facebook I got an alert that one of the plugins I use on the site was no longer active. I was surprised, but thought little of it until I noticed I was seeing ads on […]
As regular readers know, I like to cover the “Games with Gold” game selection every month by sharing the official video from Microsoft alongside my comments on each game, as presented in the video. If I know more about the game or have an opinion on it outside of Games with Gold, I’ll share that […]
Oh boy, another one of these. Why do I put myself through this monthly game of “make promises and never deliver them?” Oh, right, because I’m crazy like that. 🙂 Anyway, on to the question – What’s coming for the next month? The answer is exactly what you would expect: Stuff. I’ll put it this […]
I know what you’re expecting — you came here wanting to read what I have to say about the trailer, as a Sonic The Hedgehog fan. You want me to watch it and get mad at what they’ve done; you want me to flip out over every little detail that’s wrong or odd or otherwise […]
It’s been a while since my last post. Damn near a week, in fact. I feel like every moment I get closer to really having a proper article flow here, something comes up which throws a wrench in the works, and of course because I’m transparent as a sheet of glass on what’s going on […]
35 years ago today, in 1984, Apple held an event, appropriately named “Apple II Forever” where they launched the then new Apple IIc, a portable version of the incredibly successful Apple II computer. The event itself was designed to show Apple’s continued commitment to the Apple II computer line in spite of the Macintosh having […]
Today, April 21st 2019 Marks 30 years since the release of the Nintendo Game Boy in Japan. While the US would have to wait until July 31st, 1989 to get the console, and Europe even longer, today is the day that little brick of a portable gaming system hit the market, and oh did it […]
I’m a few days late on covering this, but the slightly crazy situation my friend Prince Watercress had with the website GameAnyone is, well, I wouldn’t call it over, but it’s come to a resolution. You can read Part 1 and Part 2 at the following links – I won’t explain the entire situation here […]
While I have been a little less active this week than the last week, anyone visiting the site will notice that the two most recent articles, one on the sinking of the Titanic and the other on the recent fire at Notre-Dame, are on rather serious subjects – this on a blog which normally covers […]
Along with history, another subject I’m quite fond of is architecture, and one particular class of building design that captivates me is the “Medieval Gothic” style, predominantly French Gothic architecture, and no building in the world best demonstrates this than Notre-Dame de Paris. The beauty of the building is absolutely indescribable, and it’s been something […]
Tonight, April 14th / 15th, 2019, marks 107 years since the sinking of the RMS Titanic. In fact, right now as I begin to write this, 10:31 PM Central Time, would have been 12:33 or so AM the morning of the 15th, 1912, for the Titanic – she would have struck the iceberg 50 minutes […]
