I have mentioned before that if you have an Android phone or use Google Maps on any device, your movements are being recorded. Just browse to “maps.google.com” for a peek. Once there, click the menu (hamburger, three horizontal bars) on the upper left and choose “Your timeline.” Take a look around and see where you…
I have a home page I use on all of my browsers. It is a web page I created a couple of years ago which I update quite often. It has links to most of the sites I use on a regular or semi-regular basis. Over the years I have updated, added, and removed links…
