Why the change and this new website landing page?

Simple. The internet is changing and doing so rapidly. Many US states have passed various privacy laws and others are considering them.

As this is a small and personal site, most of those new privacy laws do not directly apply to this site. Nevertheless, as the internet changes and all manner of verification laws, anti-tracking laws, privacy laws, and digital safety laws are being considered and passed, it seemed prudent to make sure that anyone who uses this site does fully understand the terms of its use.

This is why the change came to the site. As new laws are passed all over the world, I suspect we will see many websites having to do more to digital 'gatekeeping' regarding who gets to read their site, watch their videos or listen to their online talk/radio shows.

I am fairly certain that a free and open internet as we have long known it, is one day going to be a thing of the past. Anti-tracking, privacy and child protection and 'safety' laws? These laws are mostly good in their intent, but will in my view, very possibly be the new tools for slowly bringing in censorship that will never, ever be called censorship.

But dear readers, what I have set up is its real easy, once you agree to the terms and sign in here, you can save the username and password in your browser and then bookmark the new page. You should only have to do this once if you save your password. But if you lack the skill, patience or energy to do that or can only complain about having to do it, well this site may not be for you.
