Resonance


#

I’ve gotten some big and small praise from colleagues at work from several quarters in the last few weeks. Recently, It has been difficult for me. I have been questioning whether I am seen and valued or even needed. Thank you, Universe. I needed that help. All the gifts of gratitude mean so much.

Today I learned uni-ball is Mitsubishi Pencil.

Visiting their website only cost me $36.

“…Creativity is Nature manifest in us.”

Back to counting carbs.

I looked at some of my recent choices and assumptions and proved myself to be mistaken.

Just like with Celiac and food ingredients, with Diabetes I’m going to need to check and re-check carbohydrates.

#

I feel, more and more, as though maintaining holistic health is like a video game, where one must keep levelling up.

Change is hard.

#

I’m kinda excited about this: Tempest 4000 Brings Its Neon Insanity To Switch This Spring

#

The Jeopardy National College Championship was fun to watch. Mayim Bialik is a great host

#

There is a lot of ice in that beard, post snow-blowing, but it’s hard to see

#

Sigur Rós are coming to the State Theater in May

#

Installing Windows 11 from USB for the first time. Feels like Linux because it didn’t have WiFi drivers. But also? Downloading updates with no on-screen indication of how much has to download or what is being installed.

#

So disappointed. Getting my daughter set up with her own Microsoft account actually has made it harder to play Minecraft with her. Instantly, multiplayer is turned off for her and she is prevented from joining Realms, which was something I was wanting to set up and share.

#

I realize I’m an edge case, but I wish you could put longer beards on Memojis.

#

Grateful. Lots of extra sleep today. Print magazines, caffeinated beverages, left-over pizza, gear-head car shows, and favorite web sites.

#

Marketers: Nothing says “We want more money” than anything that includes the words Premium, Curated, or Hand-Crafted. Hard pass. Nope. Please stop. These terms are working against you. There are more, but these make me angriest, lately.

#

“Why is the coffee gone?” He thought to himself, as he realized he could not remember drinking all of it, nor previously finishing it.

#

A friend introduced me to the music of MADIS tonight. The Sea of Tranquility album sounds astonishingly like Jean-Michel Jarre.

#

Damn. Looks like Rings of Power is a series I’m going to have to watch

#

Best half-time since Prince.

#

LinkedIn is testing a new ‘no politics’ setting

Wishing more large services offered similar. At least some offer filtering.

#

That thing where I have remote starting for my car but do not remember to use it to my benefit

#

Wanted to watch the Olympics but got talking heads. Moving on.

#

Listening to a lot of Seasurfer lately. I discovered them a few years ago and was reacquainted with them again a few weeks ago. Most recent album has what would call more of a dark wave sound, more synth. Earlier albums I would call more shoegaze. But layers, distortion, reverb and harmonies all throughout

#

Can I say, as an IT person, I’m really tired of running updates. So little control over what is happening. No way to know before starting if this computer will take the update after some unknown interval of time, or not. All I can do is wait and pick up the pieces.

#

Used all the caffeines to power through a long work weekend. Today, I started my day early and my usual large amount is insufficient. My brain wants MOAR.

Seasurfer Dive In

Apple Music suggested this one to me this morning. It’s right up my alley. I know it as shoegaze, because I’m Gen X. I don’t know what the kids are calling it these days
