There are a bunch of reasons I deleted a profitable and successful YouTube channel. Before I go deeper into those reasons I think it makes better sense to start at the beginning. I started my channel in January of 2023. We were in the...

As of this writing, there appears to be a problem with Cusdis and my comment box is not working. I don't know if this is on my end or not, but in the meantime please feel free to e-mail me via the link at the bottom of each post! For...

I sometimes hear people my age (I'm 55) talk about tech and the younger generation. Not just the usual conversations about social media and doomscrolling bringing civilization to its knees. Yes, they talk about that too, but so do kids...
It surprised me to see that my last post, a little tongue-in-cheek thing explaining vibe blogging, https://skryblans.com/vibe-blogging/ appeared on the 'Trending' Bear blog feed. I was even amazed to see it at number one once. Obviously,...
Coming to Bear is my first encounter with the small web, or indieweb, as a creator, and I have learned so much these past couple of months. First of all, I have learned that Bear is much more than a blogging platform, it's a town square...
