When your collection of stuff reaches a certain point, you realize you’re a curator, conservator, docent, archivist, guard, exhibition designer, etc.

All Of Us from Spoke’s album “Done”. Also appears on the album All We Need Of Hell
Watching The Song Remains The Same for the first time. I was 8 when it was released theatrically.
I just heard myself say “What’s the temp out side? The air sounds cold.” It’s eight Fahrenheit, for reference.
When your shuffled playlist brings back something you forgot you loved. From the Crawdaddy album released circa 1990.
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer’s stop motion animation was released 60 years ago. It feels like one of the few things left in popular culture that’s still older than me. Not by much, mind you. But still.
Ordered a pair of Shokz Openfit earbuds for work, based on the recommendation of a colleague. I’m impressed. I have an OpenRun bone conduction headset and these buds have better bass while not requiring anything in my ear. Great for surreptitious tunes while maintaining readiness for Teams calls.
I was confused about how Plex orders files associated with TV series. A little searching lead me to find Plex sorts based on TMDB, which is similar to IMDB. Plex respects parts of your file names. If you name episodes based on TMDB, results are much better. SxxExx maps to TMDB season and episode.
In the CD Re-Rip Projects, I’ve finished the strict alpha portion with music artist by album. Now I have some classical CDs, soundtracks, and lots of compilations. Looking at how the music is shelved, I think I understand what I did, but I may have to re-engineer or re-organise.
Fun thing about the re-rip project is time travel. Put a CD in to be converted and I thought, did enhanced CDs exist when this was released? Sure enough, track 15 was a data track. Of course! Anavoog.com from 1998 included a video and pictures. The site is still live. She’s on Instagram.
