One word review: Meh
Short review: Better song than a movie
It’s not a bad movie. I think most people that spend $12 a ticket on it will leave the theater satisfied. Rami Malek should get an Oscar nod for his portayal of Freddie Mercury. But ultimately the move left …
Tattooed Millionaire is Bruce Dickinson’s first solo album. In 1990 I was one year out of college and fully immersed in the Atlanta music scene while making an attempt to grow beyond my 80s metal roots. That attempt would not stick and eventually I would fully embrace the fact that …
I let my Amazon Prime membership expire in late November. I honestly expected to miss it. I haven’t. It turns out some of the regular health and beauty type stuff we had on auto ship with Prime is actually cheaper from Walmart.com. I managed to complete my Christmas shopping …

I got a notification this morning that the Google Photos AI had created a new photo book for me – Highlights of 2017. So I clicked though to take a look. Google thinks several things I photographed last year to sell on Craigslist qualify as highlights of my year. I have …
Way back in the dot com boom of the early 2000s I wrote a business plan for a web app that would let you configure a shopping list to match your store layout. I was going to mine your list (data) to allow grocery companies to direct very personalized coupons …
