Me and Mom at Queen’s Rhapsody Tour
Status
I just can’t even. I don’t know a way forward right now. Half an hour just to get to recovery mode, and this result on a clean volume. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
That was quick. Erased volume. Trying internet recovery again.
If I don’t get anywhere tonight I’m going to recycle it at Apple. No one needs this kind of trouble. Re-erased and attempting Monterey reinstall. If that doesn’t work a third time, I will give it termed recovery one more shot. But that’s all I have.
Try, try again. Erased volume and recovering from on-machine recovery partition. I hope.
Welp. That didn’t work, either. “An error occurred installing the update.” Okay
I have an Intel MacBook Air with TouchID. I have never had a Mac that was so resistant to updates. SMC and PRAM resets at a minimum. Disks that won’t unlock, this time. Recovering now with new volumes and a clean installl.
Ugh. When the progress bar goes back up in time.
Lots of little things make me irritated. It passes. Until the next thing that does. On the inside it doesn’t feel like I’m always angry. But people observing me sometimes tell me I’m always angry. That’s not at all what I want. Not sure how to be better. I want to be better.
Well, that was fast. Hardly got a profile set up on Pebble and they’ve announced a November 1 shut down
Today learned a small amount about British trains. I had purchased a small set, movie specific, but it does not include as many coaches as depicted on screen. Canon doesn’t offer detail, so tradition will have to do.
I note, tonight, on my street in Saint Paul, that all of the street lamps are shining white light. After all of the experiments for decades with many types of lamps with many gasses inside, white is back.
Yes, it was me in the kilt
My first visit to the Renaissance Festival in many years lead to my first kilt.
I went to print a Word document from preview mode in “New Outlook.” New Outlook “generated” a PDF which opened in an Edge browser tab. I have questions: Why would Microsoft use another vendor’s document presentation technology? Was I ever looking at a “DOC”?
Remember listening to whole albums?
Sometimes one from the past demands my attention. Lately it’s Tinderbox
I don’t remember hurting myself, but it’s clear to me now—at some point, the coffee was too hot.
I was reminded today of why I stopped using drive-through fast-food procurement. So much easier to deal with issues at the counter, instead of trying to do an inventory in-car. What a mess.
“…the street finds its own uses for things” —William Gibson, from Burning Chrome
I have always loved the Cyberdecks, which have always seemed to me to inspired by Gibson’s writing. I also love any small, capable tech tool.

I would like to thank Coffee Cart MPLS for the delicious Lavender Latté, this morning.
I hate when I can’t find the right GIF to throw into the group chat during the Teams call.
Discovered She’s in Parties, today. The band took its name from the song you’re thinking of. Via Space Echo
Just spent five minutes looking for my phone. Which was in “the wrong” pocket.
My wife played Cruella. It was more compelling than I hoped. But the hook, for me, was the soundtrack. I didn’t know it was a period piece.
There’s a playlist on Apple Music.
