This is sort of a follow up to a blog post I did a few weeks back after discovering that Google Photos were no longer going to work for me as a way to categorize and display my photo galleries on here. If you run a WordPress website, like this one, that relies on strong […]
Seconday Market for Retro RAM
When most people clean out their tech closets, old memory modules from the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s are usually the first things thrown into the e-waste bin. To the uninitiated, a 1 Megabyte 30-pin SIMM or a PC100 SDRAM stick looks like obsolete junk. But I discovered recently that today’s secondary market, vintage RAM […]
High Cotton Trading Cards Boxes & Hanger Packs
Okay, so this is a weekend project I’ve been working on in my spare time for the past few months. I’ve blogged about my massive sports card collection a few times in the past and one of my goals for 2026 is to start minimizing things while I’m still here so I don’t leave a […]
The Marketplace is now Connected to eBay!
I’m happy to report that a big part of the new marketplace project has been completed. The Cotton Exchange marketplace is now connected to eBay and products from this website will now be offered on eBay here… This part of the project is actually way ahead of schedule, I hadn’t anticipated that it would be […]
Trading Card Grading Services
Back in my day there was no such thing as a grading service for trading cards. We simply eyeballed our cards and decided if they were in mint or very good condition, etc. I’m not complaining, I think it’s great that the hobby has became more sophisticated for serious collectors. I can see where this […]
Products Being Added…
I updated the other day that the all-new Cotton Exchange, an online marketplace of curated items that I’ve collected over the years, is starting to take shape. This past weekend I spent a little time adding some individual coins and coin sets as well as some trading cards from my collection. In the coming days […]
Update on the “Cotton Exchange” Marketplace
I have recently brought on a team to help assist in the development of the “Cotton Exchange” marketplace. I had underestimated how much I had forgotten about building things for the web over the last decade or so… plus, I just don’t have the time. The end result will be really nice though. Here are […]
My Review of Monarch Accounting
I’ve recently taken over managing our household finances from my wife following her accident in January. Over the years I’ve used multiple backend accounting applications from the days of Peachtree to Quickbooks as well as newer enterprise and small business solutions like Netsuite and Freshbooks. I’m not going to lie either, I was a little […]
Online Marketplace Coming Soon!
I have been working w/ a handful of people recently to add an online marketplace to cotton.buzz. My goal is to have the “Cotton Exchange” up and running by this summer. This is an idea that I’ve played around with for a while but have only recently decided to dedicate the resources to make it […]
Recent Google Photos API Changes Breaks WordPress Plugins
I would be lying if I said that I wasn’t a little disappointed w/ Google right now, specifically Google Photos. I’ve used their Google Photos API for several years, I guess since they changed over from Picasa, to connect my photo galleries to my wordpress blog through various wordpress plugins and custom programming. Well, guess […]
