Life can be hectic and tech often clutters our life and makes productivity troublesome. Tech changes too fast for anyone that actually works for a living to keep up. Social Media is an unbelievably quick evolver. You could keep up with all of it yourself, or you could rely on a good sources to preen the information and help you sort quality from cruft.

But, fortunately for you I enjoy helping so as much as I can afford to I will provide free information for you right here. It's reliable, individualistic, and often terse. Most of my readers appreciate those qualities. If you like to avoid wasting valuable time to get to what matters, you will too.

It's only very, very recently that I decided that arguing is completely and always fruitless. Even if you win, you anger the opponent, which means you don't win them to your point of view, just a recognition that avoiding you in mental combat is essential to protecting their world view. Preaching is effective. Teaching a willing student is effective. Debating and arguing are not.

Like I warned, I tired of posting my every food selection on a public blog fast. Plus, I feel compelled to add some pithy life statement that relates. Fortunately, I'm a well of assertions and observations and have an associative memory that jogs ideas from virtually any experience or event.
