Yesterday I received this weird request. Someone I don't know, whom I've had no interactions with (to the best of my knowledge) has requested access to a headshot I had taken a few years ago.  I'm assuming at this point that this is some sort of scam, but still, this is a first for me.

Google has killed a great many services over the years . From well loved products like the aforementioned Google Reader and Google+, to less used but equally enjoyed services like Google Wave.  Next on the chopping block is Google Music, a product similar to Spotify and any other music streaming service. And, once again, those of us who put out faith in Google's service will have to face the reality that trusting Google or putting effort into any Google product or service is pointless.  Yes, I write this on Google's Blogger service and every single day I wonder if I should migrate over to anybody a dozen other blogging platforms. But, as I have a GSuite account, I have to believe Google will keep Blogger around as it's a fantastic service with countless ways to make it yours - even if you don't know how to.  Re: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2020/06/youtube-music-library-transfers-your-purchased-music-is-not-welcome-here/

I happened to be sitting here on the couch working on the computer when I notice out the window a silver minivan that was stopped just outside, the driver appearing to be looking at the windows and doors of the house. Was s/he looking to see if someone was home? We're they looking for a way to break in or were they looking at the house mistakenly, perhaps believing it was for sale or rent, or something else entirely. A few seconds later the minivan moved on and I didn't think anything of the experience. It was odd, but being in a condo you sometimes get used to delivery drivers looking for building numbers or realtors who are looking for the unit for sale.  Then I heard a car door shut outside and I walked over to the window for a closer look. I was expecting to see someone who pulled into the parking lot but instead I see the same silver minivan parked in front of my garage. The driver stepped out of the vehicle and it's my landlord, Ed Copolla. He steps to the garage, pun...

So, from what I have been able to figure out is I cannot load images to Blogger from Photos using the Blogger app but I can load from Drive ( so, it's definitely probably a Photos issues). Here's tonight's sunset: And this is just about an hour later: And this is closer to what it looked like:

So, apparently I can upload a photo to the Android Blogger app via my Google Drive but not from the Photos app. So, is this an issue with the Photos app or the Blogger app?  So frustrating.

Moron King of the USA So, apparently the new interface is allowing me to upload images. This particular gem is a photo of the King of Morons. You can tell by his stupid face, tepid eyes, open mouth and the marker of all the morons, the red MAGA hat. It's just like wearing a Swastika armband. 

This is a test to see if I could upload from desktop. This is with the current Blogger interface. There is a new one that Google is rolling us all to that seems to be offering some issues. We'll try that one next.
