I posted the following to my social media feeds (X, Mastodon, Substack, and LinkedIn):

• Typo Definition – Mitigatge -the process of mitigating a vulnerability.

• I posted the following to a discussion on X about parents and objectionable bands: “My dad was opposed to the Beatles as ‘godless communists’... Until I slipped ‘Sgt Peppers’ into the albums I loaned him for a pool party (in 1971) with younger coworkers... He loved that Sgt Peppers band and I never told him...”

• I posted the following to a discussion on Substack Notes about typing class in High School: “1967, 2nd period Freshman year. I was one of three boys in the class. Learned how to type (65 wpm), center content horizontally and vertically, and make corrections on copy sets. Still remember “The quick brown fox…” Arguably the most valuable class in High School.”

• I posted the following to a discussion on Mastodon about Talarico interview: “Don’t know/care much about Talarico, but if Administration is influencing decision to not broadcast this interview, then I will boost as a matter of principal.”
