Parking for a Concert at Gillette Stadium

from I am BARRY HESS [alt+shift+b] in travel

9th Aug 2026
Parking a vehicle for a concert at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, is quite a challenge. Before heading to the BTS concerts this past week I did some research, even asking Chat GPT about how to handle parking. To its credit, with my hints about what I wanted, it...

We have collectively been recovering from a physically and emotionally draining two weeks of marching band. We all were caught napping at some point throughout the early days of this week! It’s been nice to have activities wind down this week, and we’ll have a bit of relaxation...

Do We Need Billionaires?

from I am BARRY HESS [alt+shift+b] in travel

5th Jun 2026
A significant portion of the population in the USA still thinks of Reaganomics as certified fact rather than a largely discredited theory. By this mindset the engine of our economy requires people to strive for a ton of money. A rising tide lifts all boats and all that. First, I...

2nd May 2026
Spent this morning at Minnebar. This year was the 20th anniversary. I’ve had several posts about Minnebar on this blog through the years. I’ve only been able to go a couple times over the past ten years and it was good to see many familiar faces. (Even some Minnesota expats. 👋,...

Short, and late, rendition of Friday this week as I’m traveling. We took a spring break to Phoenix and were able to fit in a Project Hail Mary IMAX screening. It was excellent! Two of us have read the book, and we enjoyed both versions of the story on their own terms. We got in...

It’s Not Better Yet

from I am BARRY HESS [alt+shift+b] in travel

3rd Mar 2026
We mourn our craft: The worst fact about these tools is that they work. They can write code better than you or I can, and if you don’t believe me, wait six months. This point stuck out to me. I’m going to take it completely out of context to make my own point. I haven’t yet...

These artists selling signed vinyl direct on their websites is getting me. Pretty clever! I like supporting them this way, but I do wish they could find a way to reduce the shipping costs. Reply by email

Spell Check

2nd Jan 2026
I proofread everything I write. Still, there is no better spellchecker than the "publish" button. – Nick Heer via People and Blogs via The Jolly Teapot So very much this! As a blogger of twenty-plus years, I’ve experienced this phenomenon many, many times. That is why Pika has...

Words Matter

from I am BARRY HESS [alt+shift+b] in travel

17th Dec 2025
I hate what drugs have done to parts of American society as much as anyone. The purveyors prey on people in a vulnerable state, a state they’ve arrived at for any of a number of reasons. The addictive qualities can be nearly impossible to resist. While I’m not super-informed...

No Socials November

from I am BARRY HESS [alt+shift+b] in travel

1st Nov 2025
November seems to be a ripe month for challenges. Some people grow facial hair. Some people write many words daily hoping to come out with a novel on the other side. I’m sure there are five other such efforts that I’m not aware of. For me, I’m going to continue my push away from...

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
