In the past, I had blogs at logosmith.net and askgaryanother.com (not linking because who knows where or what those sites will be if you’re reading them in the future). I have pulled all the posts from askgaryanother into this site via the magic of WordPress import/export functions. For the past hour or so I’ve been […]

Scary nights thinking about who owns social media platforms these days. I’ve never been the most consistent blogger, but I did a lot better job before Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit ate my brain, or at least the free-time part of it. I am considering putting up a message on these accounts (Facebook and Twitter, anyway)
The violent events of Wednesday, January 6 at the US Capital has caused many former allies to turn away from Trump. The usual expression is “in the 11th hour,” but this is more like 30 minutes after midnight. How late is too late?

It’s been an eventful year (in addition to the usual): went to work for Nexcess, a hosting company I’ve worked with in former lives registered the domain garysmith.us – this site will be a bit more personal-brand-and-work-oriented. In the process of moving (at least partially) to Huntsville, AL, in that I’m getting an apartment big

I was recently pushed into upgrading from the Adobe Photographer Cloud (not sure what it’s officially called, but it’s about $10 a month and only gives you PS and Lightroom) to the full-blown Creative Cloud.
I don’t frequently get political, but it seems about every year (or less?) we have to get activated about Congress trying to pass legislation without understanding the technical implications. I’m very pro law-enforcement, and have a close friend who works for DoJ – he’s told me in the past that getting a search warrant is
Monday I spent three hours at the Autauga County courthouse waiting to go onto a jury duty panel. Judge Sibley Reynolds told us that the jury selection process used to be “ten old men” who were selected to pick jury panels, and they placed names of potential jurors in a washing machine box. Unfortunately, the
One more post about the accident from last January (not to be confused with the accident from last May, or the bumper-tap a couple of months ago). The settlement is finally done. One of the first things that people say after you’ve been in an accident (aside from Are you okay? and Shouldn’t someone call
Well, that’s settled… Read Post »
The Prattville Chamber is sponsoring a seminar by Tony Rubleski TODAY, and there are seats available, last I heard. What’s funny is he is able to do this seminar (at this price) because he’s already in town doing a (much more expensive) seminar for another group, and THAT seminar is sold out. Granted, this is going

The Auburn Knights will have their annual reunion this weekend. Montgomery Advertiser story. I like to think that in some parallel universe I got to play with the Auburn Knights as a regular band member, but truthfully I went to AUM and anyway I was probably never that good. However, I was asked to play
