August 26, 2020 Tap tap tap. Knock knock knock. You there? Hello? Are you home? It’s extremely difficult not to be overtaken by the existence of news headlines. Now pour the poison over our invisible wounds by journalists designed to redirect the masses. The physical evidence is there! Each news outlet has its own agenda. Research gifts their paths of forward motion with the viewers and listeners they need to gain access to great ratings. The rest of us stand on the outside trying to pick which story best suits our mindset. I’ve tried to go the route of checking in with all sides of the objective. Every website from newspaper to podcasters. I figure if we sit somewhere in the middle we’re going to be safe. On this podcast episode an encounter with a baby fawn serves as a symbol of who we honestly might be during these massively out of control times. The fawn was darting around my forest like a wild child at 4:30 this morning. I never saw its mother. Normally I do because she runs toward my dog and I. Doing all she can to protect her baby. I didn’t see her. We were within the trees a very long time. Then it occurred to me. There’s no way this fawn exists. In my 28 years of knowing this forest this sort of thing has never happened so there’s no way this is happening. It has to be God playing early morning message games. When we got back in the house the fawn was very heavy on my heart. I compared it to who we as a nation are in 2020. Clueless to the dangers of the world and yet we think we’re strong enough to survive without proper protection. Our confidence and courage are the only value so many of us have left. The eviction letters are being sent out. Homelessness is about to exceed levels we’ve never seen. Businesses are closing and the Governor will probably keep us locked up another five weeks. Getting from plan A to plan B was a tough chore. Working from home. Our kids getting an education on a digital system that keeps failing. The fires of California. Two hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico. The protests and the news stories about an asteroid that supposedly is coming pretty close to the earth the day before the elections. Plan C feels like those moments when we’re standing on the ocean shore looking out across that water and we can’t see the land on the other side. They say it’s out there. We’re convinced and confident that these knowledge holders are guiding our ships toward smoother waters. But that fawn this morning said something different to me. I wish we could see what we truly look like. I see your social media pages. The plastic candy coated bathroom mirror smiles. This isn’t who we are. Not when you compare it to the conversations. It’s extremely difficult not to be overtaken by the existence of news headlines. Now pour the poison over our invisible wounds by journalists designed to redirect the masses. We need to break free of the media driven grip and stop playing Let’s Pretend. It’s time to grow forward with a message and stop assuming others have the ability to lead. Guidance requires confidence. It’s ok to admit that we’re dented but we aren’t destroyed. Mentally we’re being redesigned without admitting how much we have left behind. How could we ever forget? Because it feels like everything we do ends up on The Cloud. Do you know the password? Life in 2020 isn’t a game of Chess. It feel like 52 Card Pickup. It’s time to unlock the chambers that which hold the existence of experience and survival.

Welcome to Here's What I Don't Get, now with 100% more Spooky Scary Skeletons! It's October finally, so get your spook on, your colonizer on, your hay ride on, and most importantly, on October 17th, get your virtual desktop cleaning on. Put on your favorite Halloween song, warm up some cider and sit back as we tell you the tale of:* Positively Platitudinal* Settling for Windows* Social Media Skeletons* Ugly and Unorganized FilesKeepin' it posi. PMA: positive mental attitude. Optimism! Finding joy in the small things in life. Live, laugh, love. Dance like no one is watching! Find the beauty in the ugly days. Never settle for less than you deserve! You are not the mistakes you made! KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON! This is a PSA: If you come across someone saying any of these things out loud, has them hanging on a wooden board, or types them followed by a low-fps tumblr gif, please put on your special made ANTI-PLAT Helmet and engage the proprietary ANTI-PLAT extending boxing glove. Then, forcefully read from the included ANTI-PLAT Motto Card. Afterwards, be sure to spout the quality of the ANTI-PLAT helmet and it's related accessories.Speaking of settling for less than you deserve, how come we don't deserve a better Operating System than the junk Microsoft gives us? Apple is over here in "No Buttons, It JUST WORKS-land" and it seems that Microsoft is slowly edging themselves toward that too. Obfuscating previous options to sub-sub-sub menus, making sure you're an ADMINISTRATOR WITH ACCESS so you plebes don't delete System32. But what about the power user? Are you TRYING to turn us into "Linux Guys"? I don't wanna be one, but you're really pushing me towards it, Mr. Gates.Maybe the spookiest skeleton of all is the 'edgy humor' you liked at 17 and quoted verbatim on Facebook. Why? Because god forbid you get your 15 seconds of fame these days and someone digs it up like a dead dog. Or the multi-billion dollar company you're applying for comes across it and now you're stuck mopping up at KFC. But guess what? The upside is that while you mop up some 4 year old's regurgitated Famous Bowl, the 16 year-old fry-cook Eugene will tell you all the dead baby jokes you could ask for!Possibly the nerdiest rant the Handlebreaker has ever gone on is nevertheless important! Law versus Chaos. Light versus Dark. Good versus Evil. Folders versus Desktop Dumps. Final versus Final2_NEW_QUICKFIX_HD_COMP_092819. These ancient battles have gone on for far too long! Why? The agents of chaos are hidden among the rest of us lawful folks. These people can seem good and friendly. But then you get a peek of their desktop and it looks like someone played 52 Card Pickup with them.All this and more on this chock full o’ Todd episode.
