Internet Safety

I am NOT a security expert. I’m also not an IT guy, a networking guy, or any sort of hacker. However, I know enough about the Internet to keep myself relatively safe when navigating around, using sites, and spending money online. And I’m absolutely appalled at the risks people take when online: what they’ll click on, what they’ll believe, and who they’ll trust, simply because they don’t know any better.

I often explain these types of things to friends & family when they run into sticky situations. But I figured that this information might be able to benefit others around the world, so I periodically put up articles about Internet Safety. To this point, I haven’t collected them in one place, so I thought I’d do that for easier reference. I hope you can find these useful.

Stay safe, my friends!

What’s Next?

You may have noticed that I haven't posted anything in a really long time. Sorry about that. Once we started up the St. Louis Pen Show and the St. Louis pen meetups, most of my free "pen time" started going into those activities.

My goal was always to write very thorough reviews with lots of great pictures, and that takes a ton of time. The writing, editing, and photo editing for one review took up a full weekend, and that doesn't take into account actually using the pens and taking notes along the way. With all I have going on, it just wasn't sustainable to keep this site going on a consistent basis.

Will I ever come back and start doing reviews again? Maybe. But not anytime soon. I am still around, though. You can catch me at the monthly St. Louis Area Pen Meetup & Eats (SLAPME) events, the St. Louis Pen Show, and a handful of other pen shows around the country.
