Currently reading: Blitz: A Novel (The Rook Files Book 3) by Daniel O’Malley 📚 micro.blog/books/97803165615…
I stayed up waaaaaay too late last night poking at mastodon and micro.blog stuff until I finally realized in a haze my use of social sharing has been very minimal over the last year. I was in the “learning about new tech is fun” groove and forgot “sleep is good.”

It is incredible to observe how fast the tech world changes. Companies which seem unassailable suddenly disappear into footnotes of history.

Actual footage of me trying to get down the aisles and find snacks for The Game today at HyVee here in Kansas City. #ChiefsKingdom #GoChiefs

I asked Siri to play some “cleaning the kitchen” music, she said, “Sure, here’s some kitchen music,” and I cannot deny that it might be “kitchen music”. First up, Love Mistake by Heart. That, friends, is inscrutable science.

For my mother-in-law, Anne, who passed unexpectedly yesterday. She was a proud member of the Cherokee Nation, and she would love that I shared this for her. It's called "Cherokee Traveller's Blessing." Walk on, Mom ❤️

Just a forgotten glass of water, sitting in the sun… Beauty hides in unexpected places, waiting for a shift in perspective to reveal itself. May a shifted perspective allow you to find something beautiful in an unexpected place today.

Just in case anyone wondered, FaceID will not unlock your phone in the middle of a sneeze.
If your ADHD-spouse takes on being the cleaner of the toilets AND they swing their narrow Hyperfocus Beam O’ Might that direction, you’re going to have some pretty damn clean toilets. That’s a solid +1, right? So…. Anybody got anything else that might go in the plus column…?

You know that annoying thing some people do where they hold the phone way out in front of their face as if there’s no one else around — even when there is? A lady walking by was doing that and topped it: “I’m sorry, I can’t hear you. Can you speak louder?”

Mind boggling that many police departments allow any of their officers to be unvaccinated. Charged with protecting public safety, instead they defend their officers' "right" to go out into society as the logical equivalent of drunk drivers.

Pretty sure Kindle batteries aren’t supposed to look like this. (The Kindle was still working!)

One $20 battery and 3 minutes later, my Kindle is working fine AND FLAT again. Amazon apparently doesn't want batteries for their devices sold on Amazon, so the sellers use acronyms and rely on battery model numbers. Silly Amazon.
I’m just sitting here in my car, waiting on a kid… Guess I’ll check the radar.
