  • Why I’m Saying Goodbye to Facebook and Instagram

    I’ve been wrestling with this decision for a while now, but I’ve finally reached a point where I feel I need to speak out and take action. While I’m not able to fully delete my accounts because I need access to manage work-related pages, I will no longer post or respond on my personal page.…

  • The rootkit of all evil…

Sony went and infiltrated our deepest darkest secrets by forcing software onto our computers and then leaving the kitchen door open so that the pesky kids from down the street can get in and mess things all to hell. And what do Americans do best? We SUE! Technically, the…
