IoT stands for Internet of Things and it can be a very broad topic, indeed. This category used to be called “Blogs and Blogging,” but now encompasses any thing relative to the Internet, including social media, so-called “smart” devices and maybe even Pokemon Go.
UPDATE April 29,2012 This is a rewrite of a post I made almost two weeks ago. After exchanging a series of emails, followed by a more than hour-long sincere telephone conversation with JTD yesterday afternoon, I am now convinced that the comments posted below were not made by him. It is past time to…
I guess I’m not the only person who has missed J Todd DeShong’s great blog, dissidents4dumbees. It is often referred to fondly in the comment threads at Seth Kalichman’s blog, Denying AIDS and other oddities. In fact, that’s where JTD and all of the anonymous gang members who used to populate D4D’s comment threads now hang out:
FINAL UPDATE 12/19/2013: I’ve opted to stop using Disqus and have started using a commenting plugin that allows users to login in with their Facebook or Twitter account. UPDATED AGAIN 3/11/2012 @12:25 PM CST: Looks like things are working again (fingers crossed). UPDATED 3/7/2012 @4:48 PM CST: Disqus support services cannot troubleshoot the problem…
Seems I’ve spent most of my adult life raising money for one thing or another. Sometimes for personal needs, like the summer I spent as a teen missionary in Brazil, or my recent request for help to do intravenous vitamin C, but more often it’s been for a cause. This is one of those…
If you are visiting Resistance is Fruitful on New Year’s Eve or New Year’s Day, you may notice some hiccups with the blog, as I am rolling out a new theme. I’ve got a plan of action… but we all know what that means.
Although I’ve grown very fond of the features and the “look” I got with Suffusion,
I have been enjoying a break from blogging and Internet obsession for a few weeks, tending to a garden and some home improvement projects instead. My energy and mood have been better than they have been for years, and I’ve even got a couple of new DVT blood clots in my left leg as…
Tim Horn, an Administrator and paid staff member of the AIDSmeds forums, recently gave me a compliment. I think. Horn posted a thread at those forums, acknowledging the transition of Emery Taylor, which I reported on a few weeks ago. Horn called this blog “one clear-eyed ‘alternative hypothesis’ site”, and I appreciate that. Really,…
Bone pointing is an ancient curse used by the aborigines of Australia. The vengeful person takes a kangaroo bone, carves a point at one end, and drills a hole through the other. He then passes a single strand of the victim’s hair through the hole and ties it in place. In a usually…
As I noted in my last post, I’ve been mucking around with various themes, settings and other changes, trying to figure out why my blog response times were so slow, and why I was experiencing so much downtime. I am now convinced that the real problem was due to my (now former) webhosting service…
My sister Merrilee and her partner Diana work hard making a living selling plants. It sounds fun and easy, but I know it’s very hard work for both of them. Perennial Favorites recently changed its domain name and is starting a blog, so here are a couple of links to help Google and other…
This site is no longer updated, but kept online for reference. You should not see this popup notice on future visits.
While much of the information on this site is no longer current, it represents almost a decade of my life. It was a period of considerable reflection and writing was my therapy.
I have moved on from that era and am now moving into what will undoubtedly be the last chapter of my life. My love for writing and telling stories-mine, as well as those of others-goes with me. Join me, if you will, at jondbarnett.com for the adventure.
