Greenlanders ‘don’t want to be Americans’, say political leaders amid Trump threats
Five parties issue joint statement after US president warns he would occupy island ‘the nice way or the more difficult way’ Greenlanders “don’t want to be Americans” and must decide the future of the Arctic island themselves, politicians in the self-governing Danish territory have said, after Donald Trump warned the US would “do something whether they like it or not”. The leaders of five political parties in the Greenlandic parliament issued a united statement on Friday night, soon after the US president reiterated his threats to acquire the mineral-rich island.

Spooky Full Moon January 2, 2026

I just had to snap a photo when I saw this scene. A full moon peeking out from behind those clouds. It was such a dramatic, moody sight with the silhouettes of trees just barely visible at the bottom.

Sadly, tech journalism legend and pioneer Stewart Cheifet has died. (I knew him from appearing on his show, Computer Chronicles, and also from the how-to VHS tapes we made together.) He introduced millions to PCs, making complex topics accessible to all.

Today is for reflecting on the past and dreaming big for tomorrow! 💭

#NewYearsDay #HappyNewYear #NewYearCelebration 🎊🥳🎆🍾
Three children and a dog are playing musical instruments in a living room decorated for New Years. One child is playing a double bass, another is playing a guitar, and the third is playing a small red piano. The dog, sitting on a crate, is playing a trumpet. Red and green balloons and a Happy New Year banner hang on the wall behind them. There is a table with cups and a pitcher, a television on a stand, and framed pictures in the background.

My 2025 in Review

I thought I would give a roundup from my point of view for 2025 and share some thoughts on 2026. 2025 brought so many new things for me. I left InMotion Hosting and WordPress after 9 years with them.

I finally bit the bullet and bought a 22TB hard drive for Plex since my current 14TB drive is already half full 💾, and I’m not even 40% done with my DVD collection 🎥. At the same time, I grabbed a 64GB DDR5 kit ⚡, which just two months ago would have cost me half as much 💸. #selfhosting #PCTech

Had my heart cath today and it went well, no issues 💖. I'm already home and resting. If I choose the alcohol ablation route, it seems like it could be a solid option. I’ll see the HCOM specialist next Friday and should have all the info I need to make a decision then 📅🩺. #HCOM #Cardiology

Christmas Dinner 2025 was a hit! 🎄 I made the prime rib roast, sliced and ready to eat 🍖, plus some ratatouille 🥘. Dad smoked a ham 🍖🔥, and my sister handled the mashed potatoes 🥔. We all enjoyed a fantastic meal 😋. This year, Mom decided to take it easy and sit back 🛋️.
A white rectangular plate holds several slices of cooked meat with visible bones. A large knife and a carving fork with dark handles rest on the plate among the meat slices. In the background, two people sit at a table with a smartphone and a red container with a beige lid nearby. Part of a foil-wrapped item is also visible on the right side of the table. A large cooked ham with grill marks rests in a foil-lined aluminum tray on a kitchen counter. To the left, a blue glass dish contains pieces of fried or baked mushrooms. In the background, a pot with a glass lid is on the stove, next to a skillet with a baked dish that appears to be lasagna or a casserole. Various kitchen utensils and containers are near the back wall, which has a tiled backsplash. A bare foot is visible at the bottom right corner. A stove with a black cast iron skillet containing a baked dish topped with melted, browned cheese. Next to the skillet is a black pot with a glass lid covered in steam. The stove has silver knobs set to different heat levels. To the right on the countertop are two wooden cooking utensils, a small plate with a cat face design, a clear bottle of olive oil, salt and pepper shakers with blue lids, a container of seasoning, and a bottle of hot sauce. The backsplash features rectangular tiles in various shades of brown, beige, and cream. A cast iron skillet on a stovetop contains a baked dish topped with melted, golden-brown cheese and visible slices of vegetables like zucchini. To the left, a person is carving a cooked ham in a foil-lined tray. To the right, a covered pot with a glass lid is on another burner. The stovetop controls show the time as 4:01. The background features a tiled backsplash.

Consumers are fueling the economy, but tariffs are hitting us hard with extra costs 💸. AI is driving up prices and causing shortages 🤖🚫, so I’m buying faster 🛒. If this keeps up, rising prices and vanishing PC parts mean 2026 could be tough for consumers 😟.

I’ve been really impressed with ChatGPT 5.2 🤖. It's way better, and I’m surprised how quickly OpenAI made the improvements. That said, I still don’t like how familiar the responses feel 🤔. I just want a computer to give me the facts, whether good or bad, and not act like a friend. #AI #ChatGPT
