Holding

Welcome to my Holding page!

This page exists for holding content until I can find a proper place for it around site, or while I’m moving things around.

Featured On Youtube:

This Madonna megamix is a whole mood! If you are a Madonna fan looking for the perfect megamix to listen to on an early morning that has good beats and nice transitions between tracks, try this one.

Note: The above featured video will be moved somewhere else around this site. I just don’t know where or when yet.

Work Log:

The following listings are for my own personal use, held in this spot until I can build an appropriate page. I am tracking my work progress with my digital AI art and other things.

Reasons To Own And Manage Your Own Website:

A list in progress I’ve been wanting to write for a long time. Now is as good a time as any to start it. This list was started on Saturday, July 19th, 2025 at 7:02 PM CST. This list will be moved to a blog post at some point.

  • Build lists.
  • Build website directories.
  • Build photo galleries.

New Stereo – Just Because:

LG XBOOM 2.1ch Bluetooth Shelf System with Speakers and Subwoofer

I splurged to get this LG XBOOM stereo. I’ve been eyeballing it for at least a couple of years or longer. It is the LG XBOOM CM4590. More info to come, and I’ll be moving this to a new page dedicated to my audio gear. UPDATE: I ordered a 2nd unit… one to keep in the closet as a back up, and one to put to work immediately when I get them. Got both units for a total of $500, and I used PayPal pay in 4 to break the splurge into pieces. now I have 2 other stereo systems I want to buy… both same units as well. I feel like I’m bragging lol. So this is all for now.

Currently In Progress:

As of: 2025-12-18-THU-10:31-CST – I realize that I’ve been neglecting D98 for quite some time. It wasn’t intentional. I’ve just gotten very heavily involved in building surfman.co, my other website. That website will carry a new PDF version of my directory listings, some of which are listed here, and could also offer some free ebooks. My intentions are to combine this website with the new website in ways where more online content will be featured here, and over there, you can download a pdf for tablet use. So I haven’t forgotten about this website. I just have multiple projects going on, and I’m trying to focus on that one for awhile. I have decided over the last couple of months that I need to consolidate the number of websites I’m maintaining down to 2 or 3. I’m also in a position where I need to seriously declutter my home, and I don’t do well at decluttering lol. So I’ve got a lot of work going on, but no updates to show until I finish building that website and get the pdf directory online for distribution. I hope everyone has a HAPPY NEW YEAR 2026!

Note To Self: Put the negatives in your life aside and get this shit done! Some people do not deserve your attention based on how they act. Choose life and happy future over bullshit.

David T. (that’s me) resides in Southeast Alabama, and enjoys blogging, curating content, and listening to music. Give me some good old 90s country, pop, dance, and techno, with some modern trance tunes, and I’m happy. I also enjoy reading and crafting when time permits. Buy me a coffee.

Disclaimers:

Some things to note about the content I post on this website. Also these disclaimers will eventually be moved to a more appropriate page at some point in the future.

Horoscopes Disclaimer:

I enjoy checking the horoscopes and posting my comments about them. I don’t really take the horoscopes too serious. Mostly I read them out of curiosity to see if anything corresponds to events happening in my life. I am also not “religious”, nor “atheist”. I value that I have the ability to listen to spiritual-based teachings without getting caught up in the “thou better do this shit or else because god said so” way of thinking. I also value that I can learn, and dare I say, at times be guided in life some way, or inspired by the horoscopes to frame my choices and thought patterns a certain way. In the end, it all comes down to karma for me, and I choose to be guided by me, and me alone… not someone else’s idea of who or what I’m supposed to be, or how I’m supposed to act, based on their beliefs.

Information Disclaimer:

All information provided on this website is provided as is. Every effort for accuracy is a top priority, however this depends on the sources where information is curated from. D98.co is not responsible for any unintended inaccuracies.

Product Links:

I share a lot of product links on this website, primarily from Amazon. It should be noted that I am not affiliated with Amazon, nor any other retail outlet, and I do not receive any compensation for sharing product links. I simply enjoy sharing product links for things I have either bought and enjoyed myself, or would consider buying, or simply sharing for the spirit of sharing products that someone else may find useful.

Lemmy:

I’ve been checking out Lemmy.ml frequently lately. It’s my understanding that it is a federated version of Reddit. I’ve seen some interesting and informative topics posted there that people are discussing. I am now listing them for resource value.

NOTE: This section of the site is starting to look like it could use it’s own dedicated page, or perhaps even it’s own directory on the blog. I haven’t decided which direction to go for this, but I am looking at moving this content to a more appropriate place at some point in the future since I keep coming back to it.

ANOTHER NOTE: There is another site similar to Lemmy called PieFed I’m gonna have to check out. I should actually I will have to check it out in more depth to see if it’s worth adding to my content curation workflow… and I think it would be. I’ve glanced over it and found this post about a website that generates a bookshelf image based off of your Goodreads account. It never hurts to have multiple sources to curate content from. Also I’m considering to set up a new Reddit account as well.
