A Note To Readers:

Since 2007, this blog has provided valuable information and entertainment without ads. As of January 1, 2025, some posts contain Amazon links to products that I have used and found helpful for projects. Since I have not sold one item, Amazon booted me. Good riddance, but I don't care to remove all the links, so they remain.
