I’ve dipped my toe into blogging in PHP over the past year. It still feels magical — and I’m continuing to find new/old ways of making simple and effective PHP websites. Serendipity is a recent one.
Welcome to my hand-crafted home on the web. Stay awhile and thanks for stopping by.

My 18 y/o says that almost every guy at his school is into sports betting. I remember the NFL fantasy leagues of the 2010's — and it was a gateway drug to today's situation. Mainstream gambling is putting the mob out of business, and it's cheapening the souls of a generation. And pro athletes shouldn't be subject to threats from gambling addicts - at least not to any larger extent than they have been for a century or more.

hello world - from my new in browser writing experience. if you're reading this and you didn't know or care where I'm writing these words, just know that i really enjoyed writing them in browser instead of in a text file on my Mac.
Worked on a new in browser writing experience for the last few days. Alongside the chatbot friends, of course. Happy with the results.
Spurs vs OKC could be a great rivalry for years to come - which is good for someone like me, who just likes the game for itself.
Dear NBA and MLB and every other pro sports league: You are going to begin to lose families as viewers if you can't reign in the sheer overwhelming quantity of SPORTS BETTING advertisements in your content. It is getting ridiculous and out of hand. They are trying to hook the next generation on gambling, and you are all complicit. I want to help my kids appreciate sport - but not gambling.
