2024 Top Crypto AI Stocks (my picks)
(above photo is the start of my crypto mining operation from 2018, just for fun) Ok yes I've sold out, I am blogging about crypto. But I am allowed to, after all I bought my first crypto pre-2016, I've owned and operated a crypto mining operation, and have been an overall crypto maximalist for the past 10 years. This [...]
Dell PowerEdge t30 Server with UNRAID NAS
Over the years I've accumulated a lot of data. Not including "work" backups, each month I archive around 20 GB of personal data, at the very least. With my new drone hobby that number is probably 10x that amount. Up until now I've used a basic RAID file server in my home, which resides on an HTPC. This 2TB [...]
How to Migrate Email from cPanel to GSuite
Note: the example below is a client that contacted us only to do an email transfer, we did not design or do SEO on this website. There is no denying it, for small business hosting your own email is just not worth it anymore. With GSuite and Outlook 365 prices being so low, and their excellent services it doesn't [...]

Apple’s $999 Monitor Stand vs My $32 Amazon Special
Apple's new "pro display stand" is truly repulsive. Other than the obvious fact that it is an overpriced piece of (probably) composite aluminum, it lacks basic features that even the most entry level monitor stands have... and I'm going to prove it. I've been using VIVO's dual LCD monitor stand for about 10 years now, and it does everything [...]
Teaching My Son Computer Science: A Curriculum
It is no secret that I love my kids, my 8 year old Phoenix who I call my "twin" is truly my pride and joy, and I am so proud of the person he is. Over the past few years, he's shown an interest in all things computers. This is most likely because of my own interest in computers. [...]
