Born a 10th generation Oregonian, (5 generations on each side) I have an enthusiasm for learning and teaching new things. After a ten year mini career in the dental field I moved on to research and embraced the social web. Though the internet is far too large for any one person to claim to be an expert, I can hold my own with the latest trends.
I enjoy researching and writing blogs. As the "Internet Program Director" for myMotherLode.com since 2008, I update the website and have a wide variety of interests. There is always something entertaining, educational or inspirational to share.
We had the opportunity to observe the age 65+ vaccination site at the Mother Lode Fairgrounds run by Adventist Health Sonora and came away impressed by the efficiency and caring professionalism. We’re sure that the same is true for the county’s drive-thru site and, despite some issues with the online sign-up process being overwhelmed with interest as has been reported around the country, hope that this leads to larger segments of the population being vaccinated meaning a quicker return to a safe and normal day to day.
According to the late Hank Aaron, his motto was “… to always keep swinging.” “Whether I was in a slump or playing badly or having trouble off the field, the only thing to do was to keep swinging.”
How can we insist on an open internet free from government interference and censorship in decidedly un-free countries like China and Iran, and then turn around and support the actions of Apple, Google, Facebook and Twitter in stifling participant’s voices by cutting off internet access including web hosting to certain individuals and websites that they deem to be inappropriate, forcing them to relocate to Russian service providers?
