Last week, in my “10 Ways to Improve Your Content Creation Labor Intensity” I suggested that you should repurpose your older content and by doing so you will also bring it back to life. Better yet, enrich it by adding newer relevant points and context. In the spirit of following my own recommendations, I dug through my older content and found a great and relevant article that I published back in January 2013. “Are You Content With Your Content?” was...

Today was no exception except for the fact that I was playing pickleball at 6AM and accidentally stepped over the non-volley zone also known in pickleball as the “kitchen.” I should have been more careful knowing how I don’t belong there,...

One of the more vicious scam attempts that I’ve come across is the attempt to clone one’s Facebook profile. What takes place is when the scammer copies or clones one of your friend’s profiles and then sends friend requests to all that person’s friends.

So, I was surprised to learn that Jack Daniels, eternally credited for concocting this famous liquor, actually learned the art of whiskey distillation from another man. In the mid 1800’s, the enslaved Nearest Green, gained renown as a...

I recently received, what seemed to look like, a robotext on my phone from one of the political parties asking me to participate in a zoom call featuring a representative from the State Board of Education. Since I had never received such a request before, and this one piqued my curiosity, I figured they wanted money.
