The Unicode Consortium has released it's annual list of the most used emojis. Which, two things: There's a Unicode Consortium. They keep track somehow of all the emojis we use. That's...disconcerting. Tears of Joy accounted for over 5 percent of all emojis used in 2021. That was followed by red heart, Rolling on the Floor [...]
It’s that time of year! Time to get increasingly paranoid your kids are going through your bedroom to find their gifts! If you’re wanting to avoid the tiny humans getting a sneak peak at what you’re leaving under the tree, avoid the bedroom closet. It’s the most popular place to hide gifts AND the first [...]
Zoom has become a integral part of a lot of our work lives over the last two years... HOLY. CRAP. It has been nearly two years since all this started. I need a moment. Aaaand moment taken. Zoom has launched a few new features and one of them turns the video conferencing app into that stooge [...]

Daylight Saving Time comes to a close this weekend. If our politicians really cared about what we, The People, want, then it would be the last time we have to mess with our clocks. Once again Sunday morning, everyone but Arizona and Hawaii will be forced to remember how to change the time on their car [...]
