Fatalities - 2026

Scott Adams, creator of the hugely-successful "Dilbert" comic enterprise, has lost his battle with prostate cancer. He was 68.

I greatly enjoyed the Dilbert-verse and am glad he found something that brought joy to so many (him too!) while giving him a great life. It's awful it was cut short, though.

RIP, Mr. Adams, with condolences to your fans, friends, family and loved ones. Thanks for all of the laughs.
The Dilbert comics were my translationing guide from teenager to adulthood, rest in peace Mr. Adams

NFL 2O25

As good as the game with Buffalo at Denver was, San Francisco at Seattle is not good so far. The Seahawks took the opening kick back for seven and it's been their game through the first half. They have the lead with a score of 24 to 6. With Kittle out, Seattle's only super player left is Christian McCaffrey who was getting attention from staff on the sidelines at the end of the first half.

I gave up on the game when it was 41 to 6 Seahawks. San Fran was destroyed and wasn't fun to watch. I switched over to watch some NCAA men's basketball.

It's no secret that ALL cloud storage services data mine the crap out of every file, every photo, every document to extract as much personal information as possible to build a consumer profile so detailed and intimate that most consumers would have a heart attack if they saw it... and sell that information to whoever will pay for it to create "a more personalized online experience". That's why most of our data is now self-hosted on our NAS.

Is there any way to prevent spam calls from ringing on a Pixel 8?

I do not answer calls from a number not in my directory. I haven't answered an unknown number in over a decade. I don't cut the call short, I just let it ring. I'll give a voice mail a look but rarely is any left. I get maybe two unknown calls a week.
I rarely ever get any calls from outside my contacts list. After the Boss Lady had her surgeries I'd get calls from the doctor, hospital, etc, and they'd come through. My call filter blocks known spam calls automatically.
