Let me say at the outset this is NOT about GenZ bashing. I work in IT in my other life, all told I am coming up on 50 years since I sat my first computer science class (is anyone using Fortran anymore?). So I have seen a lot, from mainframes

The Ever-Present Danger
Anyone who has spent time in the military knows it is one of the most dangerous jobs you can imagine. We have all lost friends, and in some cases, family; often in an accident or action that was far outside what you would come to expect in this environment. And

PyRadio Gets a Facelift
For about the last year or so I have been building python apps in TTKBootstrap, a lovely upgrade on the very dated Tkinter interfaces. But it has limitations, so off to try out / learn a new framework. In this case Custom Tkinter. Truth be known I was finding the

Update on Mavie
I suppose part of my nature is to never let something be, always looking for ways to improve things. Mavie was decent – an easy to use journal you could export to text or html if you wanted to use it elsewhere. But it seemed like a bit of a

Ocean of Silence Goes Video
As you might have guessed ‘Ocean of Silence’ is the title of my book of poetry, and of the namesake poem. Lately I have been watching Kelly Boesch videos on FB, loving the way she puts them together in her imagination! After listening to her TED talk I realized that

PyWrite Gets A Little Brother
Before WordsWorth there was PyWrite, a simple no-nonsense app for creating manuscripts. It worked but was just a little basic for other than writing blog posts and poems, but it wasn’t in your face like most writing apps. Which got me thinking… I use Trilium Notes for most of my
