In 1776, America declared independence from centralized control — not just politically, but philosophically. Just as DigiByte champions digital rights today, the Bill of Rights that followed became a covenant between people and power, ensuring that no single entity could silence, surveil, or seize what rightfully belonged to the individual….

When Leadership Blocks the Conversation

Posted on August 30, 2025August 30, 2025 By UPL Admin

Leadership isn’t about titles. It isn’t about seniority. And it certainly isn’t about being the loudest voice in the room. Leadership is about listening—seeking out perspectives from all levels, weighing them with humility, and using that knowledge to guide decisions. But too often, organizations face a frustrating reality: the higher…

Stay Weird. It`s kind of a hipster vibe. Lots of new-age, white guys with man buns in Hawaiian shirts. J/K lots of middle aged white guys with their kids. Good times will be had by all... And Al. See what I did there 😎

Kind of a daddy daughter day. She wanted to race go karts. Did a really good job of blocking a middle aged white guy for most of the 2nd race. He was ticked. Then we had to go help a friend out and redo a horrible Spectrum install. Good help is hard to find. The tech did a really, really bad job. Then saw a double rainbow and took Emme, Oliver, Brandi, and Emme`s friend Kinsley out to dinner. Make every day and every moment count. 😎

Had to make a quick trip to Arkansas to take the side-by-side and bring the rhino back to Texas. Time to get the rhino ready for the desert. The tire tread looked a little weird. Thank you Discount Tire for a quick repair. Emme was my co-pilot for this adventure. She`s now 13. Where did time go?

This weekend was a quick trip to our place in Arkansas. I needed to replace some shingles on the roof. I burned my butt through the jeans. Brandi arranged it so I had enough time to replace the exhaust on my 996 on Monday night.

For some reason this trip she took lots of pictures of me. Weird.
