Greetings Webtaculators! Want to know how I’m getting old? Well, you probably don’t but I’ll tell you anyway – this is the first year that I have been in existence where a decent minority of my friends and colleagues on social media were being wished a happy father’s day instead of doing the well-wishing themselves. It’s pretty cool to think about how many people I know who were barely able to function on their own just a few years ago are now responsible for an entire additional human being! I’m kidding! They’re all doing fan”stackic” so far. Sorry. It’s an attempt at a dad joke. I’m still practicing.

Now for something completely unrelated – Between a week full of car and computer problems, it is sort of disheartening to realize how much I depend on some combination of metal, plastic, and glass working correctly in order to do basically anything. Medieval me would be highly disappointed in my inability to function without technology (but only after burning me as a witch for riding in a metal beast and then watching a moving picture on a metal slab). On to the news.
