Advice: An embarrassingly honest deodorant assessment #PSA

| November 5, 2023

So here’s a piece of advice that I really should have clearly known before my age.

Don’t ever think you are going to save a buck buying the steeply-discounted 3-pack of Classic deodorant when […]

Searching MDB: Current blog calendar navigation tip

| October 3, 2023

Let’s just call this a PSA since I’ve been busy rethinking My Desultory Blog themes after updating to PHP 8.2 and how at least use the thousands of old blog entries for reference … or more precisely, remembering things!

Tech Friday: Do you have a Flickr account with 1000 photos?

| February 8, 2019

Yup … I have over 1000 photos.
