A Look At PBS Kids' "Jelly, Ben & Pogo," A Series Of Animated Shorts About Two Filipino-American Siblings

Welcome

Hi, welcome to my new Tumblr page. Given Facebook throttles business pages' visibility, I thought I'd try setting up a Tumblr page as an alternative. It also gives me a possible alternative to Twitter, given its current changes.

As the headline says, my main site focuses on media and technology topics, as well as diversity issues in both. I split it into two semi-separate sections, Diverse Tech Geek (for technology) and Diverse Media Notes (for media). I'll be posting links to my blog posts here; new posts usually go up Tuesdays and Fridays.

So, we'll see how this goes. Thanks for reading!

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.

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.
