No, this doesn’t mean I’m some far left lib and think we have to quit doing Thanksgiving, but I do think we should at least not pretend things weren’t as they were. And even then, realize that the ideals we are (hopefully) striving for: gratitude, community, family, and togetherness, do matter.

Can’t wait to see how many people make the assumption I think all guns should be confiscated purely based on the article or its title. I don’t. I do think we have way to many guns in this country, and too lax of laws around them (can you understand the distinction?). And anytime there is something that can used for a deadly purpose without adequate controls and restricted access there is a higher potential for that thing to be used in the heat of the moment (on oneself or others). Hopes and prayers will never bring anyone back or stop someone from violence, and it’s time to stop pretending like they will.

One of the saddest things I find in this article is the number of families at the point they think the experience of jail will make their kids “scared straight”, or that the kid just doesn’t have a responsible adult in their life. Instead of “scared straight” we get “traumatized into submission” and sometimes it’s the ultimate nihilist submission… suicide. Incarceration (esp the way and frequency we do it) is not the answer. Even more so for kids.

I learned this lesson first from Christopher S Penn in a marketing sense, but still bears repeating (and why I run all “shares” on SM through this site first).

F that Sh*+. Unfortunately he’s going to have people that have to have the job for immigration, health, or financial purposes. And we’ll hold it up as a badge of honor to celebrate hustle culture.
Hint, if you’re an employee that isn’t compensated proportionally (and that could be negatively or positively) given the company’s performance there is absolutely nothing worth grinding for in a JOB.

Now that I’m officially working remotely, and have had some questions about my setup, I figured I’d do a write up so everything was in 1 place. So, let’s start with a picture…
… and I’ll tell you that my setup consists of a Desktop (not shown) and the Laptop you see in the photo. Also included in the photo are the microphone and camera. The Stream Deck shown in the lower right (as well as shells, rings, and baseball) is optional 😊.
Now, how it all works together… The main monitor (with the rings at the base), keyboard, and mouse are controlled by the computer KVM which determines if I’m working off the Laptop or the Desktop. Essentially, the computer KVM takes “in” the keyboard, mouse, and HDMI from both the Laptop and Desktop, and sends “out” to the shared keyboard, mouse, and main monitor. A simple double tap on “Scroll Lock” + either “1” or “2” switches between them.
I also use a USB Switch to toggle peripherals between the Laptop and Desktop. This allows me to switch between the computers but make the camera and microphone potentially “stick” to the backgrounded computer (i.e. be on a call/meeting on one computer, but switch to the other briefly as needed). Setup is as simple as the USB Switch taking a USB “input” from each computer, and having the peripherals tied into it. Switching between does take a press of the button on the USB Switch.
So, what about the other monitor and laptop monitor you may ask? The full monitor (upper left) is tied into the Desktop using a DVI output on my graphics card (but could be tied into whatever additional output you may have) so that when the Desktop is active I’ll have the 2 monitors. When I switch to the Laptop, the laptop and main monitor act as my 2 monitors.
And finally, you may be asking, how do you tie all that stuff to the laptop if it only has a USB C and maybe a standard USB? For that, I use a USB Dock. The dock allows me to connect to my wired network (better reliability and throughput of signal), the computer KVM, USB Switch, and a few other USB peripherals (mostly for charging things). All that junk stays connect to the dock, and I simply need to unplug or connect the 1 USB C connector!
Of course, if you don’t need to switch between multiple computers and just want to connect multiple monitors and an external keyboard and mouse the USB Dock is sufficient (and is how my wife’s work setup is configured).
As to the Stream Deck, that’s probably a post for a different day, but suffice it to say when the Laptop is active the aux monitor (upper left) is rotating through a number of browser tabs running on the Desktop and I can use the Stream Deck to control that (refresh, volume, mute, etc).
