  • Happy Star Trek Day

    Happy Star Trek Day to All!

    Star Trek the TV show had the first episode aired on September 8, 1966. In El Paso, TX where I lived as a kid the show was on all the time. I didn’t know until later-on that Gene Roddenberry the creator was from El Paso and used to shop at the mall by my house. This is why I still have Star Trek dolls around my room to this day.

    *Note: I was just rewatching the Heroes TV show and noticed how many Star Trek characters were in Heroes including George Takei. Strange how some people have the career of 50 people.

  • Myspace Comeback

    By A. Menzies 08/09/26

    I really hope the real Myspace makes a comeback. ABC news said they were back in a story. In fact I never quit using Livejournal. Algorithm free online posting was a far better way to read people’s posts online. There is a Boondocks show episode where a musician wants to have fans over for a party, and a kid posts it to Myspace. A huge party packed with people afterwards results. People forget online posting was fun once. #myspacereturn

    In theory algorithms were going to show you the top posts of your friends and family. They would weed out the spamming they claimed. Instead they doubled the spam posts, and hid the friends posts. Net trolls and hate mongers thrive in algorithms. Nothing has stepped up to fill the void of old Facebook as new FB is non-stop spam daily and Instagram is only a Facebook clone.

    I remember that Myspace had issues as well. People would fight about friends in the top 8 list. Users would make a Myspace they never updated, and dead people still had profiles up. People married with 4 kids had a Myspace up that said single from high school. If Myspace makes a comeback it needs to delete inactive profiles this time around. #inactivedelete

    News jokes are telling more truth than CNN these days. Where are the pesky kids when you need them?

    Avakin Graphics

    By Andrea Menzies

    I may start using Avakin or Highrise graphics for my profile picture. No Photoshop is needed there. The second you are over age 16 on the Internet people start saying your photos are aren’t updated, and so an ageless cartoon keeps your ID never needing weekly updates. My review of Avakin Life is that it is a fun cross platform summer game, and is now available free on Steam games. #Avakinlife friend code KCL-WPT Also my second review is Highrise is another great way to chat for free in games on Steam. Add me at @Poedaughterz for more friends in that game. Fun for kids and grown-ups of all ages.

  • Wave Goodbye

    Wave Goodbye to the good old WordPress URL of https://frozenhistory7publishing.wordpress.com/ as my main webpage of Fh7publishing.com is down due to the URL being the new WordPress home for FH7publishing. Now instead of the page having a link to my blog, my blog will just BE at the URL. The page is down due to a webhosting site migration. Godaddy was the service I was using, but I have used WordPress longer in comparison to Godaddy, and their prices and service have become really bad. In contrast, WordPress hosting and email has become better and cheaper. Goodbye many online mirror pages, and hello more streamlined posting and e-mailing from the great JetPack app on my phone.

    Health USA

    By Andrea M

    Countries with far less money in comparison to the United States have Universal Healthcare for all citizens. When people are sick they can NOT work a lot of hours so having health insurance tied to a job guarantees you will lose it when you most need it. I am dealing with this gem of a logic flaw this week.

    Meanwhile the billionaires have seen record profits this year. Also they have record tax breaks.

    Yes I have voted. I got nine letters of spam mail a day for weeks. I get it, they are reminding me the Virginia election is important today.
