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 is the description supplied for the extension: "PixelBlo

So you have your paycheck direct-deposited, and you pay all your bills on this account, so Google now knows your income, your rent, your indebtedness, where you have all of your accouts (mortgage, auto loan, credit cards).

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 implementation would take place. That decision became embedde

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 wonderful American rivers and coasts. You have to

After a career in finance, including an MBA + accounting certification, I learned programming at my kitchen table nights and weekends, entirely from books (this was in the '90's). No formal CS education. I didn't perceive an
