How timely on St. Patrick's Day. How about people's names that contain an apostrophe? I married O'Keefe. It is just so aggravating.

When I set up a contact, I change the ringtone for them. Then, I ignore calls from non-contacts, which are currently dominated by offers of help with my non-existent student loans …

How do we think health workers and sanitation workers and police/fire and other vital workers should get to work? Not everyone has 24-hour public transportation available.

That app has great potential, but it's not really ready for prime time. Its rating in Google Play is 3.1 based on over 3,500 votes. Today, they are apologizing for a problem wherei…

I use a browser extension on Chrome called PixelBlock to (hopefully) kill those email tracking pixels. The extension displays a small icon on emails where blocking occurred. This i…

Nobody has mentioned StartPage.com. I believe that uses Google Search in the background, while not sending your personal data or returning a bunch of advertising garbage.

Women managers are particularly encouraged to phrase their orders in soft terms like "Could you please...?" because otherwise we may be see as harsh, demanding, and the unforgivabl…

What I most disliked about using Slack on a dev team was that there was no way to locate the information later. Suddenly, a discussion about the project requirements or technical i…

> we included what we thought was a trivial nested for-loop problem and virtually nobody could even get started on it. If no one can answer the question, maybe they don't understan…

Big fan of cruises, but only on ships with 200 or fewer passengers (Wind Star, Viking River Cruises and their ilk). I think it's kinda sad that we don't have many cruises along our…

If you rush over to Amazon to download the book on Kindle, you may find that it is broken on all Apple Kindle apps. (See the reviews there.) I found that I was able to get past the…

For people unfamiliar with the acronym (from Wikipedia): "A field-programmable gate array (FPGA) is an integrated circuit designed to be configured by a customer or a designer afte…

I love Google's Keep for this. It's very simple. Text notes or checklists, organized into major categories (labels). I have a set of shopping lists (grocery, hardware, office suppl…
