Yesterday was the first time I received an empty product package from Amazon! Luckily, Amazon makes it easy to report and get a replacement (at least it seems easy). We’ll see what happens when I get the actual product.

Later in the conversation, Swinton said, “I’m about to shoot a picture in Ireland, and I was told to wear a mask at all times, and I’m not.”
This is disappointing, especially when she acknowledges she’s had COVID several times and has struggled with long COVID.
“Don’t gloss this over by saying it’s politics or it’s cancel culture,” he said. “If you’re going to offend people, you risk paying the price.”

Everything is a conspiracy.
How ‘15-minute cities’ turned into an international conspiracy theory
They claimed he wanted to confine people to their neighborhoods and accused him of being part of a malign international plot to control people’s movement in the name of climate action.
“It’s bananas,” said Erica Nelson, co-author of the new research and assistant professor of astrophysics at CU Boulder. “You just don’t expect the early universe to be able to organize itself that quickly. These galaxies should not have had time to form.”
Does anyone have an opinion on dash cams? I’ve been thinking of installing a dash cam for several months. Over the last few years, drivers in my area have driven more erratically than ever. I feel like I need to have one just to protect myself when I go out to run errands!
Does anyone have experience with hard drive enclosures like this? SABRENT USB 3.2 5 Bay 3.5” SATA Hard Drive Tray Less Docking Station I’m trying to avoid another NAS setup, but I have only experienced single hard drive enclosures.
It’s confirmed, my QNAP NAS died a horrible death last night after an attempted firmware upgrade. Searching on Reddit it seems I wasn’t the only one who had an issue:
Luckily I recently backed up the data from the QNAP so I think I’m in good shape. I don’t think I want to shell out $$$ for another NAS, though. I may go back to simple hard drive enclosures.
My QNAP NAS appears to have died during a firmware upgrade. Well, this sucks!
Shazam’s Zachary Levi In Anti-Vax Controversy
I’m so glad I’m not on Twitter. Maybe I need to take a break from any news as well?
Ok, last video. NewJeans with “OMG”.

For those who have migrated their blog from elsewhere, do you fix old posts with broken links and format issues? Or do you just let it be?
Buying tickets has been problematic for a very long time. Back in my record store employee days, people needed to line up to get tickets. This old method seems fairer than purchasing tickets online now. We weren’t one of the lucky ones to get a presale code to join in the fun. We’ll need to see if “reasonably” priced tickets become available later on.

Not much of a timelapse. I’m impressed by the clouds more than the partial eclipse
The girls and I went to breakfast at the local diner the other day. They find eating at a diner so comforting.
I have been here blogging on and off for since 2001.
Lately, I’ve been in the off mode. Life has been busy the last six years. Raising kids, changing jobs, and dealing with the general curveballs life throws. Times for carefree thought are rare. When an opportunity presents itself, it is almost always limited to what you can do on your iPhone. So posting an Instrgram photo, sharing my status on Facebook, or reblogging on Tumblr is almost only what can be done.
There is an opportunity here.
I have often been depressed looking at this space, where my blog would reside, and see it going unused. I still go to my Tumblr. I go to my Instagram. My Facebook. I use the web of services and tools that pervade my daily life.
This page will now be the launching pad, the hub, the Grand Central Terminal of my interweb life. A small snippet of a post or a photo that leads to other photos will be placed here. To access the main content, simply click the link after the posting.
I had a similar conversation with Comcast when I was simply trying to find out how many Filipino stations they offered. DirecTV offers eleven Filipino stations. Comcast only offers five. I simply asked if they would be offering more, but the representative avoided the question and started talking about their other channels and how much better they are than DirecTV.
The one-sided conversation took off from there. The Comcast person started talking about pricing, channels, and other features that I was not interested in. When I pushed back he would ask, “Why?” “Why aren’t you interested in this great deal?” “Why do you need more Filipino channels?” Perhaps because those channels are being watched by someone in my house?!?!?
It took some time for me to become more agitated to be able to pry myself off the phone. I think I finally hung up on them as I simply said, “You are not listening to what I am wanting and asking about, so this conversation is over.”
I understand the person was trying to make a sale, and I was the one who called Comcast. But to turn around and try to thrust their services on me was very off-putting.
Listen to the below call. But be warned: you might get a little agitated after listening to it all.
