Officially off for the week. Disconnected from work Brian.

Got a killer estimate on removing two problem trees with trimming a few growing over the house thrown in. Crazy what you get excited about when you’re “older”.

I am fueled by the Lando Norris Monster.

How ready am I for vacation next week?

Auto replies have been setup since Tuesday ready.

Sunday night device charge party!

Pre-vacation house clean this evening.

It just makes it tough because now I don’t want to leave our clean home.

I think I am addicted to Tomtoc bags. Currently, I am battling not to pick up the 1.5L.

#edc

Made it home just in time before the rain.

It’s not good vacation brain has hit me already. It is going to make for a long week and a half.

I have updated my /now page -

AI spam calls do not like to be called AI.

Made a tiny tweak to my /edc page -

It has rained for what feels like nearly two weeks. The sun has come out and it is a shock to the senses!

Of everything I miss going to the iPhone Air, Macro photo is probably at the top of the list.

I updated my /now page

So far on my XTeink x4 I have flashed: Crosspoint - it was great but want to see other options Inx - Something just did not sit right with me on the design/layout, quick switch out to CrossInk - I think this will be it for awhile. I like the improvements on top of Crosspoint

We will see what is next! Exciting to see the development around this device.

Excited to join the XTeink cult today.

I have updated my /edc list as a starting point -

Do we think iPhanpy for iOS will receive push notifications?

The amount of local businesses with AI logos is to dang high.

Moving news sites out of social in to RSS is a huge quality of life improvement.

Windows open nights are the best nights.

Feeling pretty smart this morning taking an existing Markdown iOS Shortcut, adding some things at the end to have an easy link sharing tool for #Pika!

Good morning, world!

Sunday night.

You know what that means? Time to charge everything!

Note to self: remove Chrome from work laptop

Woodford Reserve should send a cease and desist letter to the J E Hoover building.

BC Powder and Monster isn’t the best breakfast.

Even as just ditches, what we have done is working.

Am I missing something to add the new Pride wallpaper to iOS 26.5 RC? Do we have to wait till June or formal release?

This morning is brought to you by Monster Lando Norris and resisting the urge to go back to bed.

Is there a #Shortcut to take an Apple News url then spit out the Source site url for sharing?

There are like 12 FF7 remakes. Can I have just one Illusion of Gaia?

Sad to see most Mastodon apps in the AppStore have not been updated in 1-3 years.

I enjoyed my paper like screen protector for my iPad mini, but it had to go. It became difficult to do basic swiping tasks.

Those doing a weekly wrap up, how do you keep notes for what you like to discuss? Notes? Freehand? Diary?

We’re in the thick of it now.

I hate when I misplace something then it consumes me till I find it. Guess I need to quit losing things.

“I’m back in the office again.”

Sung in the tune of “Back in the Saddle Again” by Aerosmith

Maybe I could add a /edc page to the blog.

From winter backpack to spring sling bag time. #edc #uses

Was the party that bad had to cause a distraction to end it early?

I’ve updated my /now page -

It should not be this hard to watch a baseball game..

Holy heck! Your Friends and Neighbors is back!

What should have been a 30 second call to tell the doctor’s office my wife is running late due to an unexpected road closure took 10 messing with AI chat bots.

The future is here!

Relaxing -

I hate when I cannot find something. I know it’s here just unsure where…

First real day of yard work. It’s going to be a doozy…

More loot boxes?

#Nintendo

Faces of Death so hot right now. A new movie then a presidential post!

Sea of Stars for $8.99 on iOS is a steal.

The point in the night when I stay up to late.

Windows Phones always had the most satisfying keyboard knock when typing.

There’s still fun in baseball!

Someone just committed the egregious office crime.

Microwaving of the fish…

I hate to admit the only time I have used the #Nintendo Music app is to listen to the DK Zebra Bananza song.

Goooo Zebra. Zebra.

Don’t let Sunday Scaries ruin the joy of this moment.

I let the little watch YouTube on my iPad to watch an unreleased video on KidsYT.

My algorithm is cooked! It will never be the same even after a reset.

No one move!

I think I have everything working in HomeKit.

Regardless of what you do or celebrate today. I hope it’s a great one.

It’s almost time!

Today will be a small project day. One where we just pick up the small piles around and put them back.

Plus couch rot.

I like how the eBay Auto commercial features a Honda buyer purchasing a Chinese T3/T4 to bolt on. Classic move.

Rain today is really going to mess with my yard plans. I will never get started at this rate.

Raynforst Island in M&L Brothership sounds like it should be in Hearthstone.

#Nintendo

What gets me on my snacking is always the night cap.

I just had to turn off AI in my basic notepad app of all places.

Feels appropriate

Sometimes some an Angine de Poitrine pops in my head for a little groove boost.

(see: Fanienk)

If you’re at Disney World with your bubble wand, be at Disney World with your bubble wand.

Own it.

Maybe…I am just sick of seeing the assholes win all the time.

Undefeated St Louis Cardinals!

Know what doesn’t have a signature on it? Debit.

The 26.4 AppStore changes to updates has me closing it out from muscle memory pulling down to refresh.

Just ate a Fruit by the Foot. AMA.

Re-seasoning the Airbnb Blackstone because #dadthings.

This has been stuck in my head since it was sent to me.

I request $200 billion to finish the war with these wasps that showed up.

One of the world’s most annoying things is someone asking your advice based on experience, not following it, and then to come back to complain things aren’t right now.

Meme the gold coin until it is foolish causing him to retract it.

After show Red Bull was a poor choice.

Back in the van for #Eggy Nashville tonight.

Who else will be there?

❤️

This cold is uncalled for!

Just spilled coffee all over myself walking out the door.

Days gotta go up from here, right?

Right?

Is there a relationship between prediction betting and the number of Hoosier Lotto ads that were in the #Oscars this year?

It’s crazy the non-OLED #Switch is still for sale. Also the Switch Lite has not been upgraded.

Any nice day I can open the windows, my neighbor becomes an elite Consumer Reports tester of leaf blowers.

What are you doing?

Nothing?

Damn. Shrinking is so good!

Have a shower beer tonight.

Just as a little reward. You’re doing good.

We need more hours in the day!

I am curious if DTF St Louis will become like NCIS with different cities.

I have updated my page.

Just made it home from #Eggy Lexington!

What a great weekend!

Let’s do it again in nine days down in Nashville.

Here we go!

Round two to Lexington. #eggy

Home!

#Eggy weekend!

It has been too long.

and

Let’s go!

Say it with me class.

“Today is going to be a good day!”

It is official. Tickets for #Eggy are purchased for this weekend in Indy and Lexington.

She was not fired. She was just moved to another department.

These people are never held responsible.

Amazing how much government runs on “We will see” and “I don’t know”. Also on a two week timeline.

Must Come Down sounds great on vinyl. Just the perfect amount of hiss on top of the 80s sound.

#Eggy

Turned on the news.

Talking heads trying to out do one another made me last five seconds.

Of course, I want Fallout 4 on Switch 2. Though I know that it will be on sale soon enough.

Ah shit, here we go again.

My name is Brian. I am addicted to searching for new device wallpapers.

Good morning, world.

How ya doing?

Kinda miss the Olympics already.

I started to use an RSS reader then filled it with news sites.

I have enough of that already. It’s now cleared to add actual blogs from real people.

Lazy Sunday.

I cannot believe the headset is required for Virtual Boy #Nintendo Classics.

I recall when the system itself was $99 at the end.

What does “Shake Your Bots Off” even mean?

It is the most annoying Olympic commercial.

It is great the tariffs were struck down by the Supreme Court.

Though let’s be honest corporations will keep prices high and move that money to the profit column now.

I need both standard PTO at work but also mental.

I would like to take one mental day today.

Updated /now page:

Sing Prince Andrew! Sing!

I am somebody.

Good morning - Rainy on this side today.

How’s yours?

Using the flashlight on my Apple Watch makes it feel like a Pip-Boy.

I am happy to see Muff II making appearances lately on UM set lists.

This skunk at the house is out of control.

Was this man putting a new age curse on this doorbell camera with this shrubbery?

It is a shock to watch most of the snow that has been on the ground for two weeks disappear in a day.

My favorite evening game “How the hell is it nine already?”

You knew he would spiral. Why are you giving it oxygen?

The house is done.

More cleaning…now just the entire house.

Spent the morning cleaning up blog tags with adding missing ones. 2023 and 2022 left to go!

Serious question - Are there connoisseurs of ambient sleep music?

Today was my last subscription day with SiriusXM. Been a long road, but it is time.

Resisting the urge to scrap my phone setup to start over fresh, minimal and focused.

The racist ape portion is to rage bait you into watching the voting conspiracy lies before it!

It gets frustrating to not see someone just say - “What are you talking about?” Or “That is a flat out lie.”

You know, he’s just a marmot?

Don’t let it ruin your day.

I think after ~80 hours it is time to put a pin in #Silksong.

I can tell I worked from home last week. I did not have a single polo or button down in the laundry at all.

I can tell it is cold outside. There are two different chilies in my fridge.

Hey!

You, reading this.

Have a great day.

Just signed up for the site. Not 100% sure what the plan is, but like everything else I will figure it out.
