Well, then. Apparently Ford would like us to know about the new Mustang. As a mild gearhead, I’m seeing it announced simultaneously on several feeds I follow.

Apple, Sometimes the “St.” abbreviation stands for Saint, instead of Street. Siri was giving me directions toward Street Paul, this evening. #apple #ios #carplay #siri #turnbyturn #maps #directions #indian #voice1

Disappointed myself tonight. Needed to meet a client at work, after I had already been home, because of an action I forgot to take during the work day. Mission accomplished, in the end. But I have done better, and without needing to come in after hours.

Dear Vendor,

When you leave me a message saying I’m eligible for a discount, but you have not simply applied the discount, I know you want me on the phone where you can upsell me to spend more.

Not today. Thank you for calling.

Respectfully,

Hjalmer

First time visit to Bauer Brothers Salvage today was purposeful, to get a piece we had seen online. Let me just say, for old house people, it’s a wonderland. Lots to love!

ITunes (Apple Music) Music Rating Method

For tracks in my library, I actively rate them up and down, per listen. It crosses my mind often to check when I’m into the groove. I don’t want to lose a track in the ocean.

The Scale

0 stars = Unrated. No more, no less
1 Star = I hate this song
2 Stars = This song is annoying
3 Stars = Meh
4 Stars = I like this song and wouldn’t mind hearing it again
5 Stars = I love this song
5 Stars + Heart = Please play this song on repeat until the end of time

I have an intern at work who quizzed me about my first console. I told him it was something he hadn’t heard of: Intellivision. He said he played Xbox360 in preschool.

So I’m just gonna lay down and let the rest of me turn to dust.

Auditing contacts for the first time since… contacts triplicating synchronizing to a portable device (Remembering Palm OS and Windows Mobile) Some shrugs, some I-wish-you-wells, some I-miss-yous, and some I-love-you-old-friends. But many fewer contacts tonight in my address book.
