My new book, Thou Shalt Not Lie, is now live on Amazon in Kindle, paperback, and hardcover. The Ninth Commandment doesn't just forbid lying — it makes each of us responsible for the claims we repeat. So instead of repeating what we're told about the climate, I went back to the source: the raw U.S. temperature records themselves, using software I wrote to query them directly. What those records actually show is gradual, regionally varied change — not the crisis we've been sold, and not always what the adjusted datasets say. Don't take my word for it. The book shows you the data, the methods, and the failed predictions — and how to check every claim yourself. 📖 amazon.com/dp/B0HN4S2PYG Verify it yourself. #ThouShaltNotLie #ClimateData #VerifyItYourself #USHCN #NOAA #EPA

For several years, I have been managing our family photographs, and upon realizing that there was no suitable software to fulfill my specific requirements, I chose to develop my own applications. The source code and the released software are available in a public repository on GitHub: github.com/wtblock/PhotoLega… This video serves as a brief introduction, with more detailed instructional videos to be released subsequently. Meanwhile, a Wiki page is accessible on the GitHub site: github.com/wtblock/PhotoLega… The software’s objective is to label images by embedding information into the metadata and creating duplicates in a Labeled subfolder, thereby preserving the original images unaltered except for their metadata. After arranging the photographs into album folders, another application will compile them into a book format compatible with Amazon Kindle for potential publication. By assigning an ISBN and publishing the book, users ensure that their work is preserved for future generations. I am offering this software to anyone interested in preserving their family history as I have done using this program. Please be aware that, as this is not commercial software, it has not undergone extensive testing. To be precise, the only testing conducted thus far has been on my personal computer, specifically a Surface Laptop 7 with an Intel processor running Windows 11. @github @Microsoft @msdev @MicrosoftHelps @photography #genealogy #photography #family #legacy

I got a call from Galveston County tax office that my custom license plates were ready for pickup. I said I would be there shortly. #TeslaOwners #FSD #Tesla #Grok

The Phone Link application in @Microsoft @Windows 11 serves as an effective utility for connecting a smartphone to the Windows 11 operating system. This video demonstrates various methods for transferring photographs from the phone to the computer. Notably, the straightforward method of selecting a photo within Phone Link and performing a Save As operation results in significant degradation of image resolution and loss of metadata. In the video I am using a @SamsungUS Galaxy S26 Ultra phone.

Since the 1990s, there have been 30 Conference of Parties (COP) meetings aimed at addressing climate change. Given their claim carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel combustion are the primary cause, this graph illustrates the effectiveness of these conferences. Interestingly, those who have been the most vocal advocates for climate action are now expressing concerns about rising gasoline prices. Despite numerous meetings and ongoing activities such as private jet travel and social events, the overall outcomes suggest limited success in achieving substantial progress. 🤔 – at Friendswood, TX

Once I got the @Tesla update v2026.14.3, I headed over to the Home Depot parking lot to test out the summon feature. #Tesla #FSD #Summon – at Friendswood, TX

This presentation was delivered at the Tyrrell Historical Library in Beaumont, Texas, on January 19, 2024. It focused on the preservation of the legacy of author and historian W. T. Block through the utilization of Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) to maintain his works in the formats of eBooks, paperbacks, and hardcover editions. – at Friendswood, TX

It turns out my new Tesla is a bit of a party girl!
