Why do people hate Cathode Ray Tubes so much?
So there’s been a lot of discussion regarding CRT and why it shouldn’t be taught in school. I say, what’s the big deal? Certainly kids should know all about cathode ray tubes, I mean, they were part of the early construction of television, and for decades the cathode ray tube was the primary manner for…
Read MoreThe way we should all remember Father’s Day.
I know there will be a ton of Father’s Day photos on Facebook today. Many of my Facebook friends will either celebrate their fathers (living or dead), or they’ll be in pictures with their kids. And that’s all fine and honorable. Longtime readers of my blog will know that for me, Father’s Day is a…
