Happy New Year everyone! As I sit here planning my winter vacation, something just occurred to me. There is something very important happening this year that has been in the works for many years. The government had postponed the implementation of the Real ID law pertaining to aircraft, because of the pandemic. As of May 7, 2025, you must have a Real ID in order to board a domestic flight here in the United States. Up until now, you have been able to use a standard drivers license to board your flight. Considering there could be extended wait times to receive your Real ID (if you don’t already have one) you should apply for yours as soon as possible if you plan on flying this year.

Napster!?
Napster. Just the thought of that word brings back memories of 1999. Illegal music downloads. It was the KING of illegal downloads back in the day. After being shutdown, it spawned an entire army of wannabe “programs” (apps only existed as the snack you ate, before you actually ate) that mimicked its style and functionality. […]

Memories, thanks to Google Maps?
This morning I had a little extra time on my hands (which doesn’t happen very often) and I decided to look on Google Maps, at some street views of my old neighborhood in Minnesota. I remember when Street View first became a thing, people got nervous because they thought it would be an invasion of […]
