It feels like I’m not able or allowed to be my best self at all times, like I have to claw back progress I had previously won.

For you introspective writers: Do you ever come across something you’ve written that is deeply personal, and true—then forgotten? And wonder how you could have lost track of such a moment of clarity?

I didn’t know I needed this, but someone put together an Apple Music playlist of music from Letterkenny episodes: Letterkenny Soundtrack

Apple Watch features I really thought we’d have before watchOS 10

I’m a series 4-wearer and an Apple fan boy, but these are real usability issues. Some are software problems that haven’t been resolved, but others are likely hardware choices that directly affect battery life.

Have been listening to All Yours by Submotion Orchestra a bunch this week. Rediscovered it lurking in my collection and I’m not sure where I heard it originally. Something like Thievery Corporation, Supreme Beings of Leisure, or Brand New Heavies.

Still true: Deftones scream so I don’t have to

I guess it has begun in St. Paul with the Summer fireworks shenanigans. I hope it’s fireworks.

I wish I could tell you more about him. He was my mother’s mother’s brother, a great uncle, but I never met him.

My grandmother said she called him “Jumbo,” and she was hoping I would take to the same nickname. As an awkward preteen at the time, I didn’t want to be associated with being overweight. I didn’t hear the love in her request.

From what I understand, he was 28 when killed in Germany. He had probably a 6th grade education and was a farm worker. I think he was working with his brothers on the family farm, which at one point was a fairly sizable operation. I don’t know what loves he may have had and I don’t think he had a family of his own.

In other news, today I learned my Nintendo Switch has the ability to be a host. Not only with a WiFi hotspot but also a web server. I haven’t done a great deal of local play with other switch owners, but I guess those technologies makes sense for group play.

Have spent some time on Animal Crossing, now I’m starting to look around at what others have done.
