Reposting a bunch of my articles from my now defunct 1.0 Blog

Just a blog update I have gone ahead and reposted the more interesting blogs I wrote back in the second half of 2015 and originally published on version 1.0 of this blog.  Not sure how much longer that blog link will still exist and did not want to lose some of the posts there. So enjoy the reading, and on a couple I have provided updates to bring the stories into 2016.
