There is plenty of evidence of getting old. Having a heart attack. Finding out that you have arthritis in your hands. Chronic pain in various parts of your body that just don’t go away. A few weeks ago, someone mentioned that they were ignoring the advice of their physicians and abusing their bodies. I of course had to weigh in. As I approach the magic five oh, I am falling apart.

Who would have thought that my last rant against LinkedIn would be the third most viewed post on my site. Astounding, and by the comments, it seems to have rung a bell with others.

Yes, by the time it was in version 9, it was getting cumbersome to navigate, but at least it was solid and reliable...
You get to a point where you can no longer hold back. It is like that bad uncle with the Comb-over who is not fooling anyone. Your software sucks. It is a shitty UI, it looks like technicolor vomit erupted on the screen. It is so unusable, that pe...
