I broke my glasses a month ago and have survived on contact lenses only. Did ok other than a bit of stumbling around in the dark at night. 😆 👀 Last normal glasses before I get old person glasses I think.
Did I know I was going to be sourcing hurdy-gurdy covers of Linkin Park on YouTube as part of my work on a podcast this morning? No.
Was I happy to spend 20 minutes diving down the rabbit hole of hurdy-gurdy covers this morning? Absolutely yes.
Podcast tip: If you want people to listen to your podcast, have some sort of subscribe page so people can subscribe to your podcast. If you don’t want listeners, by all means, just put up a blog post with a podcast player embed and revel in the massive “listens to podcast on a web page” audience.
Good conversations with good people about how to heal from bad people and be good again.
Good night. 😊
I sure am glad for dark mode after getting my pupils dilated at the optometrist. I have no idea if this sentence was spelled correctly or not. :-)
Me: I never have any time to do any of the things because of how busy life is. 😭
Also me: Every spring finds time to watch 45 hours of playoff hockey every week. 🍻
A reminder that Apple’s online store has a refurbished section where you can save money on hardware that comes with a 1 year warranty and is like new.
It’s not just you: Apple’s Weather app isn’t working again for some people.
The fact that Apple is releasing Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro for iPad now bodes really well for the iPad as a platform. I can’t imagine they’d do the work to release those apps and not support it.
Electricity is pretty cool until it gets too hot.
Dryer randomly started smoking. Luckily we caught it in time before it got worse.
God Forbid: The Sex Scandal That Brought Down a Dynasty, 2022 - ★★★
Watched on Saturday May 6, 2023.
A cool thing I discovered is that the audio repair tool I use has a bug where if the hard drive runs out of space, it just repairs part of the file without telling me anything was wrong. So guess who’s spent hours “fixing” audio files when I should have been cleaning up hard drive space?
It really is magical when I can speak into the Watch on my wrist and music will start playing on my van’s speakers via bluetooth from my iPhone. But when it falls over, it really falls over. The album is in my top 10 played for the year, and I still can’t find what I’m looking for?
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, 2023 - ★★★★
Amazing film to mark end of the trilogy, the end of the MCU road for much of the cast, and director James Gunn's move to DC.
I can't believe it's been almost 10 years since Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1 came out.
Finished reading: Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson 📚
Napoleon Dynamite, 2004 - ★★★
This hasn’t aged as well as I thought it would have. The pacing and editing feels forced and awkward, and not always in a funny way like it did originally.
