It’s official. The original definition of woke was the correct one.

Well, we’re back to medication commercials with endless lists of horrific side-effects. At least the disheartening political ads seem to have receded.

I swore an oath that I am who I say I am and signed on the line. Then I voted my conscience. It is a privilege to vote and it is my responsibility as a citizen. I welcome all of you who may be new to the process and I hope you were able to vote your conscience, too.

I’m not a great gamer and not even a good gamer. But sometimes I dive in to a game. I’ve noticed a weird sort of disorienting sensation as I transition between the virtual maps/worlds I’m learning and the one that I live in. Is that just me?

Re-rip frequent occurrence: Tracks get duplicated (found a lot of incorrect track titles this way), or second or third albums with partial track listings are added. What? Every reference to that album has to be deleted. Now a second or third rip is needed so a single album is imported

Re-Ripping CDs into iTunes/Apple Music. It sucks. One imagines the tracks from the same CD would simply replace the ones already in your library when you tell the app to do that. But boy, you better check your metadata. And hope some hooligan didn’t say your album is a collection of multiple artists

The other thing that is me causing myself pain is having the mouse pointer on one system, but the keyboard isn’t set to connect to that machine. Hilarious. Truly funny. Every time.

Using a Logitech tool (Logi Options+) to move a mouse pointer between different systems. Before that, I didn’t realize how very much I depended on screen borders. I am causing myself rage on the regular because I keep moving the pointer to a display I did not intend.

Had a random conversation with a teammate at work where I wondered who was first, Snagglepuss or Pink Panther. Thank you, Internet!
