I asked Bing’s Image Creator to create me an Easter themed Where’s Waldo, and, as it turns out, it’s not that hard to find Waldo. It looks like Ai doesn’t quite understand what Where’s Waldo is. I thought I was providing a good prompt, but every image always had Waldo front and center. Here’s what […]

Easily block ads and trackers with NextDNS
If you’re online, you’re being tracked. Every site you visit, every video you watch, every location you go, they’ll be tracking you. They can track you in ways you don’t even realize. That’s why I started down a privacy path. First up, NextDNS. I’ve been researching ways to stop all the intrusive tracking that sites […]
The Marquee Emoji Life
The marquee HTML element may be deprecated, but it still works, and when you combine it with emojis, and a little CSS, you can create a whole new world. Sure, you can use CSS animations, or JavaScript, to do a lot better animations, but there’s something fun about old school code that still works. The […]
How to sync WLED controllers.
Syncing WLED controllers allows your controllers to work together. I have three different controllers setup. One is the main, and two listen for changes. I assume you’ve already connected all your controllers to the same network, and they’re all up and running. If not, do that first. Now, go into the one you want as […]
@#?!! Musk – Stop Killing Twitter
I’ve been on Twitter for 16 years and leaving it seems unreal, but Elon is killing it. I really didn’t get Twitter when it started, it seemed pointless. However, over the years I learned to love it. I have friends on there, I follow brands I’m interested in, I keep up with local businesses & […]
WLED – Turn lights On or Off on a schedule.
If you’re new to WLED, one of the things you’re probably wondering is how you can turn the lights on at a specific time and off at a specific time. This is pretty easy, but I find this a bit confusing due to how things are named in WLED, so I wrote up a how-to. […]
Backblaze has been backing up my computer for 11 years now!
It’s hard to believe that 11 years ago I signed up for Backblaze and it’s been backing up my computer ever since. Backblaze continues to sit in the background and just do its thing. I hardly even think about it. Every photo I import, every song or movie I download, every file we create on […]
Get Chrome’s new theme for Firefox.
Google Chrome recently launched a new Material Design theme. If you like it, you can also get it for Firefox with MaterialFox. MaterialFox works with all three color schemes in Firefox; default, light and dark. MaterialFox’s theme is so good, you can hardly tell the difference. Better yet, you still have Firefox under the hood. […]
How To Read Outlook .msg files on your Mac or Windows for free.
Back in the day I use to get winmail.dat files from Outlook and had to figure out how to open them. Now Outlook’s format changed to .msg but the issue remains; if you don’t have Outlook, you have no idea what to do with a .msg file. Good news, there is a relatively easy solution. […]
Fix Spotlight Search in iOS 11
When I updated to iOS 11 one of the first things I noticed was that search was broken. I would search for “Ama” and iOS would find Amazon Music but not the Amazon app. I could also search for “Shop” and it couldn’t find the Shopkick app. In these examples, they’d only show if I […]
