I had forgotten how much I loved the elves, and missed Gandalf.
I never don’t love a favorite song, but my relationship to it changes.
Sometimes a song lights fireworks. Sometimes I remember the fireworks the song lit, fondly.
It’s an interesting thing, going through my CDs, disc by disc. Encountering the infatuations I have had, both in terms of artists and genres.
What I listened to, at what point in my life, is linked deeply to memory.
More and more I am deeply impressed with the iPad and its effectiveness even as a primary work device. However, some seemingly βnormalβ activities like printing .eml attachments from the Outlook app throws a wrench into the machinery. Two apps needed.
I was very happy with the way that Numbers handled the playlist export from Music. It inferred a delimited file and presented the contents formatted in a very easily understood fashion. It was super easy to copy the two columns I wanted to share, and Nova helped me make markdown fast.

I missed the record store. I made a mix for my friends but mostly to show I was still edgy and cool. I never sent it. This track list was made for a 100-minute cassette tape. Label On Side A said “Disclaimer: Not for Customers”. Label on Side B said “Hello from Minnesota!” Psychoactive Drugs (Uncut Mix) β Emergency Broadcast Network Just Say No to Drug Hysteria [Excerpt] / Dead Souls β William S.
