I just wanted to start watching a concert video for my wife. I was privileged to change my password twice so that everything started talking.
We are streaming now, but it’s going to be a bit before I can relax after wanting to get destructive for a few moments.
I’m not shocked at Uber’s actions in Minnesota, given their apparent disrespect for drivers. I am sad, though, that Lyft is retaliating against Minneapolis. I had chosen them over Uber as that transportation provider in a pinch. Now I need to rethink that. I am a St. Paul resident, for the record.
Orion and Jupiter over St. Paul
I made the mistake of bringing the Oreo container to the dinner table. They are easy to eat, even the gluten-free ones
I’ve often wondered if it was a generational thing or a me thing. I prefer text on the internet. I enjoy podcasts and TikTok and YouTube and any number of now-streaming mediums. But when I want an answer to a question, I want to read it, and I want to find supporting texts. [elder GenX]
God forbid the dogs should sleep more than 15 minutes past sunrise.
I am awake, I have brewed coffee.
Alertness and determination arrive later in the day.
The clouds said, “No stars for you, tonight. Enjoy your city’s light reflected back to you.”
Dear Thunderbolt,
Thank you for giving me my iTunes Library back.
Warm regards,

The meta conversation in my head critiquing a presentation as it unfolds. One is not prisoner of running applications full-screen. You can actually resize your window to make your screen shots legible or to capture only the relevant portion of the screen or window.
It’s my problem because I’m the one who’s annoyed, but I really am bothered when standing meetings are started 5 minutes ahead of time by folks who aren’t the meeting leaders or organizers. Maybe I can have the meeting software stop the notifications. I just don’t find that helpful.
Waiting for the Journal app on iPadOS or MacOS. I have too many feelings about on-screen keyboarding to use my iPhone. I know that it’s phone first for many many many people. But I want to use my Magic Keyboard or my MacBook’s keyboard
I just read that Apple is going to produce a series based on Neuromancer. Now I need to re-read it!
Spiced Coke is too sweet. I am disappointed. Not nearly enough spice to meet my expectations, especially relative to the strength of the way regular Coke tastes.
Paused the reading of a trilogy to read a different trilogy. Having finished the second, I’m returning to the first while engaging another work. As one does.
The back door of my house faces south, and while my property is surrounded by trees, there aren’t any on my lot. This affords a decent view of the southern sky, which I adore. I’m grateful each night the clouds (and my corrective lenses) allow me to spot moons and constellations and planets.
Engadget has been dead to me for a long time.
I see the changes being made there as the beginning of the end.
The Moon, tonight in St. Paul, Minnesota
Tomorrow, the alarm clock rings and I return to my weekday routine.
Surreal experience watching a team stage parts of my home for photography, then put it all back the way it was.
We signed on the line. We are going to be part of the 2024 MSP Home Tour.
We are, at last, unboxed. Work isn’t done, but we accomplished what we set out to do.
Eating Doritos and making coffee, as one does.
Took a few days off this week. It is lovely to start the week sleeping in. Much to do, but in my time.
Welp. Two hours, a deductible, sales tax on the retail price, a screen protector, a case and a cable later, I can post from my phone again.
Just killed my phone pretty good. I fell down the stairs and it was in my hand that broke my fall. Can’t trade it in, so I will deal with my carrier in the morning to see what can be done.
