Has My Ship Sailed?

When I first began the Insights and Sounds blog many years ago, 18 to be exact, it was never intended to be "All Disney All the Time". That's just not where my heart was. I certainly was tempted at times to go that route as so many folks were doing because of all the perks of being invited to special events and such. But I'm glad I stuck to my guns. 

Later, I also toyed with the idea of monetizing the site and then decided against that. You have little control of ad content on your site. Sadly, I've also seen un-family friendly material- actual pornography in the truest sense of the word- show up on family friendly sites I used to visit. One great one never recovered. All due to hackers I suppose, but it is unfortunate that there are those who want to expose children to such things.

Maybe most importantly, I wanted to be able to freely write about what I wanted to write about at any given time. Music, issues of faith and more. Or I chose not to write at all, as evidenced by stretches of time when there just wasn't anything of interest worth blogging about.

You Tube vlogging has now surpassed traditional blog sites. I do not have a face or a voice for video, so that is not a route I am going to follow. 

We will see what happens in the future. I certainly have many more things to write about and have some great posts planned. Will readers follow along or will they jump ship? Hard to say I guess.

Come back tomorrow for my first big Disney related post of the year...

The Sign Says It All

A picture is worth more than a thousand words, but I'll give you about a hundred...

A couple of weeks ago, I uploaded High Sierra software for my Mac, a system upgrade that promised better and faster everything. What I ended up with was a paperweight. 

Corrupting my discs and keeping my system in a perpetual state of not being able to power up. (My discs were apparently already corrupted and unable to back up what I had- without me knowing it.) The techs at the Apple store, who are really great, could do nothing but wipe my hard drive clean but couldn't access my files. Of course, I had to start over, recreating my digital world, including a huge project that was not backed up as it was only three days of work. 

I don't think there should be much delay in newer articles, but I currently am short on time. So please be patient with me. I'll be back soon with all the things you love to read on the blog. In the meantime, God bless you.

Joining the Cult

It's official! I've now joined one of the most beloved "cults" in America. The Insights and Sounds blog is now added to by the power of the MacBookPro. Due to a series of recent events in my personal life, I've lost my PC access, thereby bringing on a needed change. Thanks for to very generous Dad, I am now the proud owner of the Book and officially part of the cult!
