Out of twenty things in the list, I have only not owned an encyclopedia, though many of my peers did. The rest of the experiences were all very normal at various points in my life. Just like sniffing freshly mimeographed worksheets at school. Remember worksheets, anyone? Carrying dimes and quarters for a pay phone?

There is lots of media with things that were once normal. I re-watched Christmas Vacation again today and was struck by normal things depicted that were such a standard part of life during filming but aren’t now.

I have a model that my dad’s father made in his own workshop of a working wagon with runners with a team of horses in yokes and full harnesses. It’s not beautiful, but accurate. He was bringing something to life from his memory of a way of life that had changed dramatically for him, too.

Thinking a lot of things that will pass from memory as we all change. I blame Lord of the Rings, but also December in Minnesota, and being 57 years old.

That feeling when you learn your phone is still in your car because your glucose monitor app is reporting a lack of communication with the sensor.

Stands to reason.

TIL, with a heavy heart, that the browser extension for Bear and the Stop the Madness extension on iPadOS make Safari open new tabs with every link.

It does not at all seem to be related to any of the Safari Settings themselves. It is also not every extension.

I have studied Plex a little more over the past few days, and found a way to improve recognition of lesser-known films and learned how to show more than one version of the same movie. It’s about metadata in the file names.

Have learned a bit more about T2 Intel Macs and Apple Configurator. Love it when the envelope gets bigger. Confounded that DFU uses different tools depending on the device you’re working on.
