Voenix Rising

Worth updating from a few years ago because oh my…how the world has changed since 2018! (Although surprisingly, most of my responses have not!)

Tech
Favorite App – (iPhone) Instagram (Mac) Grids
Last Person Texted? – Ben
Favorite Podcast? – I don’t seem to have time for Podcasts any more.
Favorite Web Sites – To be honest, I get most of my online material via RSS and only rarely go directly to websites. But when I do, Joe.My.God, The Palmer Report, and any number of Reddit and Tumblr sites are my destination—for the articles, bitches!
