I now operate on two Stryker Triathlon artificial knees, expertly installed by a wonderfully competent orthopedic surgeon. He installed the left one in April 2015, and the right one in June 2016. Artificial knees aren’t for everyone, of course. But for me, they were exactly what I needed. My recovery … Continue reading →
Can you believe there’s nothing on the tech buzz stage that interests me this month? People are all excited about the impending iPhone 7. I don’t use my earbud jack that much, but I’d prefer to keep it. Otherwise, I haven’t seen or heard anything that would interest me enough … Continue reading →

Yoast has been easy to use in some … Continue reading →
Since I retired, I’ve chosen to wake up naturally. But my bedroom doesn’t get the morning sun, in the winter months, that leads to me waking up later than I prefer. Enter the Wake Up Light. The idea behind this light is you are awakened with the natural light and … Continue reading →
Normally, I love technology challenges. Normally, I’m pretty good with WordPress. Lately, I have one blog that’s been one challenge after another, and I’m having trouble figuring out how to fix the problem. One of my plug-ins says the blog is not searchable by search engines, yet search engines appear … Continue reading →
