Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
As I sit here the day after Steve’s birthday, I feel a bit bewildered. How did we get here? The year went fast, but it feels especially fast since this year had no great big fun events since March. Wow, I totally suck and never commented on Steve turning 40 last year. I guess to …

Whenever I think about this, this song pops into my head. So about a week and a half ago, I was busily working away when my phone beeped and a weird text showed up. It said it was from my bank and it said that this was a fraud alert and there was a weird …
Since the sensible among us are doing our Christmas virtually, and lots of people love Zoom, they’re being cool and lifting the time restrictions on free accounts for certain days during the holidays. Here’s exactly when Zoom will be removing the 40-minute limit: 10AM ET Thursday, December 17th, to 6AM ET Saturday, December 19th, for …
This song has been around for years. I would have never known. It’s certainly perfect for this year, since we’re not supposed to be seeing our whole families this holiday.

A long time ago, when this blog was much newer, Steve’s trusty laundry basket went missing out of the laundry room of the apartment building where we lived. We thought it was a weird thing to steal, but it was quickly replaced and we rolled our eyes and moved on with life. That incident was …
Somebody posted a blog post from GDB about what training will look like in COVID times, and I’m kind of fascinated, and hoping it works. GDB’s return to full mission has meant that staff from all departments are working towards getting back into a rhythm and workflow that allows us to continue advancing our mission …

I put off writing about this because the subject matter is kind of gross, but the question enters my mind, so here it is. *hides face* This is so embarrassing. Back a little while ago, when Chadwick Boseman died of colon cancer at age 43, everybody was talking about simple ways you can watch out …
