About the blog...

For the few people following me (or actually reading my blog), I thought I'd ask: is there anything you'd like to see me write more about?

Cartoon review: “Velma” | Diverse Tech Geek

I give a review of the new HBO Max series "Velma," supposedly an adult-oriented "Scooby-Doo" prequel. Unfortunately, it doesn't do its source material or adult focus well.

Overall, “Velma” didn’t leave me irate, just mildly annoyed at how banal and adolescent its “adult” humor felt, while lacking much else of interest. While I’m glad we finally got a racially diverse version of Mystery, Inc., I just wish it was for a more traditional take on the gang. Otherwise, this show is pretty much “‘Scooby-Doo’ in name only.”

Follow my blog on Facebook (yes, I know)

Here isn't getting as much traffic for my blog as I'd hoped. I opened a Tumblr page as part of several post-Twitter alternatives, but mostly just using it to follow a few fan comics/people I followed on Twitter. I'm also tired of dealing with spambots on here.

As such, I thought I'd reopen my dormant Facebook page to link to new blog posts on, as well as for anyone who won't use anything else besides Meta's site.

RIP Twitter (as we know it) | Diverse Tech Geek

"RIP Twitter" (as we know it) is Twitter's new status quo under Elon Musk... and the reason why, after years of use, I've finally stopped using Twitter.

Between the ongoing chaos since Elon Musk bought Twitter, as well as Trump allowed to return to the service, I’ve finally decided to stop using Twitter.

Alternatives to HBO Max | Diverse Tech Geek

With all of the turmoil surrounding HBO Max, I thought I'd offer a list of alternatives to HBO Max, from Netflix to going old-school (aka buying DVDs/Blu-rays).

HBO Max has seen a lot of its content, from "Westworld" to Looney Tunes, getting axed as part of Warner Bros. Discovery's penny-pinching austerity drive. As such, it's growing hard to recommend as a streaming service for casual viewers. In today’s post, I take a look at some alternatives to HBO Max.
