Streamlined Twitter Stream
After being off Twitter for a month, I’m trying a new approach – LISTS. Continue reading Streamlined Twitter Stream

Blog Revamp
As this post shows, I might start doing “Aside” posts again for short things like status updates. They’re meant to be fast and easy, so no tags or featured image. I use the Standard post format and an “Aside” category. Their format looks different in the blog feed simply by the featured image omission. General updates: Widgets: Removed some Revised some Rearranged all Added new … Continue reading Blog Revamp
My 2020 Retrospective
Howdy y’all, Jason here at 2020 year’s end for a look back at some personal highs and lows. The site is called, Jason Journals, ya know. So if you’re curious about a bit of my life beyond the blog, read on. I can’t promise a good read – it’s 2020 after all – but maybe you can relate. Continue reading My 2020 Retrospective
Figuring Out Photo Sites Again
Like me, I bet you take lots of pictures. With your phone…er camera. And they’ve gotta go somewhere. You likely just back’em up with the default photo/cloud system on your phone. And the ones that are share-worthy, you probably have your go-to site or service like Instagram. But I’m not sure where I stand with all that now. Continue reading Figuring Out Photo Sites Again

Some are common: plenty of sleep and exercise, for example. Then there’s escapism, and I realize not all have the same luxuries thereof. In any case, some people enjoy reading books. Others prefer watching movies. Still others lean towards video … Continue reading Game On And Stress Less
We Elected Big Tech
A thought provoking article on One Zero about Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, as the unelected monarch of billions of people. It asserts that leaders of Big Tech, who have great power and influence, were not voted into their offices. But they were. You and I voted them into power with our time and money, our attention and our dollars. When we choose their products … Continue reading We Elected Big Tech
Full-Time Split-Screen
Imagine a tablet in split-screen mode, one app on the left, one on the right. And imagine the tablet defaults to this multi-tasking mode and sometimes allows an app to go full-screen. Now imagine that tablet folds in half to show you one app, and then it fits into your pocket. This is one way to think about what the new Surface Duo is. Made … Continue reading Full-Time Split-Screen
The Google Spoon Feed
In my Zero Feeds Experiment, I extolled the efficacy of the Googe Feed. Surprisingly accurate and relevant in its ability to frequently show me articles to my tastes, I was fondly attached to swiping through its finite list. So after ignoring it for 30 days and finding web stuff in other ways, I turned it back on to once again enjoy it. But things changed. … Continue reading The Google Spoon Feed
