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.

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.”

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.
