Keyboard Failed (and so did you)

-
Everything around you says you aren't performing. It's all digital. It's all data driven. It's all the time. 
Relentless reminders of how much you should be doing, seeing, or tasting.
You're the only person that's never been to Disneyland, used a smart phone, and are overweight.
Here's the reality. It's just data. It has very little to do with you as an individual. It's usually based on averages in a database some propeller head thought up. 
Here's a newsflash. The data dobbers are just as goofy as the rest of us.
Want proof?

When you turn your computer on without a keyboard attached, the prompt you'll get is "No Keyboard Attached. Press any key to continue."
How are we mere mortals supposed to do that if there's no keyboard Mr. Techno-not? If that's the best message you can come up with, you failed. Stick that in your data warehouse. I would come by and talk to you about it, but the report you generated indicates your inability to carry on a conversation with humans, on account of all the Jolt, Mountain Dew and Twinkies giving you the jitters. But please, by all means, continue on your quest to find my faults.

I feel better now that I've vented. But I'm just an average guy. How about you?

Video Not Available In Your Country Fix

So you just made friends with somebody cool like Paul Bond  . Even though he works for Brix , which is "only" the  4th largest workwear store in Monaghan , he's still got great taste in 'artsy fartsy' stuff. Unfortunately, he's not that bright   aware, when he sends out links sometimes.  Consequently, he sends out links to really cool stuff that YouTube says  'aren't available in your country'. Well, that's simply not true. It is available, and I have no idea why they even want to make you think it isn't. Connectivity is what all this stuff is about.  Or at least that's what I thought when I signed on almost 30 years ago. I'm pretty sure it's not the band that doesn't want you to hear their music, unless of course they are Lars Ulrich .  So what do you do? How to get around this? Read on...

Change The Format Of Blogger's Popular Post Widget

     If you're reading this, you're probably not a 'code warrior'.  You're probably like me.  You can't just sit down and pound out page after page of ampersands, brackets and ampersands. You're more of a tweaker.      That doesn't mean you can't usually get the results you want from a template.  It just means that sometimes you have to search for helpful websites to give you some guidance. Something sort of 'specific' in context, but 'general' in terms of offering the solution. That's what this is.  It's a way to change the way your 'Most Popular Post" module in Google's Blogger application appears on your page.  Currently the widget's choices of formatting are limited to the title, how popular in what number of days, whether you show an image and a snippet of information about the posts, number of posts, and how many of the posts you want to display.  That may not be enough selection for you.  You might w...
