Covid Death Rates – Vaxxed vs. Unvaxxed
Once again, hanging onto this for the inevitable discussion about vaccines and “they don’t work”. I look forward to the day where covid stops messing up the world.

A Lie Will Travel Around the World While the Truth is Getting its Socks On
This sort of thing is just so destructive. How many tens of thousands of people saw this and thought “See! These vaccinations are killing people!” As a result of this, people will likely have died.

Pro-Trump counties now have far higher COVID death rates
A few months ago my dad (a loyal Fox News watcher) claimed that it was Democrats that weren’t getting vaccinated. I didn’t have the data at the ready to disprove this but had read several articles about it. I’m saving this here just in case it comes up again. I doubt facts will be listened […]

Article: The Web3 Fraud
As I get older, I worry about falling behind on technology. I don’t want to be one of those old people who don’t engage with modern tech. I don’t ever want to be like those people afraid of computers, or claim that typing isn’t something someone needs to do, etc. I am, however, very skeptical […]

TinkerTool for tinkering around with your Mac UI
I only use a couple of things that TinkerTool enables, but it is a wide ranging tool! It’s important to note that it is only changing the built in behaviors of MacOS – it does not add functionality that isn’t already there. Having said that, there is a lot of MacOS functionality built in that […]

IBM PC Jr. Language Reference
Well, it’s more generic than that, but I needed it to recall how to do some display stuff on the PC Jr. I set the Jr. up because I was talking with some future coworkers, and they had a history, or familiarity, with the PC Jr, so I figured it’d be a funny introduction to […]

Great writeup: Specificity: Your Brain’s Superpower
Not mine, but very good. While some of this can come off negatively (think about how you say things!), the overall thought process is great. Frequently I use some of these techniques and they are very effective! https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/XosKB3mkvmXMZ3fBQ/specificity-your-brain-s-superpower

Results of a Password Cracking Contest
Just hanging onto this for future reference. Not for the passwords obviously, but the process that the ‘best password cracker’ student used – pretty effective. https://mchow01.github.io/education/security/2021/11/06/password-cracking.html
