In 2025 did not read as much as usual. I still finished 16 books. Most were good. Some were not. If you are interested in my reviews on each book, then click the “books” link in the main menu of this website to see my profile on Goodreads.

I have two 2014 Mac Minis running pfSense at home. I run two physical networks, one inside the other for obvious reasons. If you have to ask, then you wouldn’t understand. What is important here is that you can buy these computers for dirt cheap, and with pfSense and a USB NIC, bob’s your uncle. Yes it can be done, and they work great. I am not using virtual machines, pfSense is running on the metal.

Last summer, I took my immediate family to Newport Beach, California to Duffy Electric Boats Sales and Rentals. I have wanted to buy a boat more than once, but I always remember the old saying about the two best days in a boat owner’s life. As an alternative, I rent boats whenever I want to go out on a boat. I rent either a speed boat, or a put-put boat if we just want to cruise around. Newport harbor is a fun harbor to put around in and Duffy Electric Boats Sales and Rentals is a great place to rent a boat. The staff was helpful, and courteous. I had a great experience.
The photos were taken with my iPhone in raw mode. I don’t carry a camera when I am out just for fun with the family.
