Mowing my yard, wasting time on my phone, and gamestuffs.

Heya kids. I wanted to use a few minutes today to prattle on about a few computer-y things I use on a daily basis that I really enjoy and/or make my work days a bit easier. Use them or don’t. AppCleaner (Free) This is a nifty utility I use on macOS all the damn time….
We’re nearing the first of what’s only a few finish lines, folks, as far as our old pal Coron A. Virus goes. With our second vaccinations coming up, the possibility of, and I can’t believe I’m saying this, actually spending time with other human beings for an extended period of time and not in controlled/distant…
Some thoughts about sports, life, and memories of bowling.
