Does anyone remember the TV ads from the 90s that said “Unemployed? Underemployed? Looking to turn your career around?”
I’m trying to find one to see if my memory holds up. There was black background and white text listing the exciting jobs like tv/vault repair.
My biggest strength at work is synthesizing and summarizing information. It’s what my team appreciates and where I excel.
Midday walks are my sanity.
🍿 Memory: The Origins of Alien (2019)
Really enjoyed this documentary. The influence of H.R. Giger was unmistakable. But the Francis Bacon connection I was unaware of.
Antique Malls are spectacular places for the collected weirdness of the past.
Facebook Class Action Lawsuit. facebookuserprivacysettlement.com
I don’t know who made it a rule that any class action lawsuit website looks like a Geocities page. But here we are.
📺 Shrinking (2023) - ★★★★★
Watched it this weekend. Absolutely loved it. It felt so real and relatable. One of the few comedies that felt funny and not juvenile.
Watched it with my therapist wife who e noted it in a whole different level.
My wife found a beautiful vintage lamp that looks like a glass flower but the lamp parts didn’t work.
Replace the socket, wire and went to put it back together only to find we needed a different socket.
So we have a working lamp. But it’s no longer beautiful.
Tomorrow we get parts and have both a working lamp and a beauty.
Spotify updated last night. I was hoping it would remove the auto-playing music tik-tok-style scroll main page it went to in the last update.
It did not. And it still auto-plays when you open the app.
It’s like Netflix, playing audio as you scroll through your available choices. It’s terrible. :(
Tennessee is over here sending emails about beautiful cabin rentals.
But I’m sorry, your state is off limits for my vacation dollars. I can’t vote on your elections but I can sure choose to spend my money in states that support rights for all.
📺 Daisy Jones & the Six (2023) - ★★★★★
Just finished the series in Amazon Prime. My wife enjoyed the book so we watched the series together and it was superb.
It follows a huge rock band in the ‘70s and their trials and tribulations. It’s so well done and left us both in tears at the end.

Tiktok Hearings (in two sentences): American companies can spy on you and sell your data. But not a Chinese company.
HELLO! I am looking for hot single woodpeckers! 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
It’s really hard listening to the US Government, responsible for getting compromised during the OPM Hack in 2015 to the Chinese. To then turn around and talk about banning TikTok when Meta/Facebook collected all our data, performed experiments on us, and so many more reasons.
New glasses have arrived. My first with progressive lenses. It takes some getting used to. Wheeeeeee!
Meet Paul by Becca Lane
Paul by Becca Lane is the fanciest pigeon in all the land and I am madly in love.
Coo.
The Washington Capitals are playing the NY Rangers tonight and I’m watching the game broadcast live as a cartoon.
This article shows how it was done and how it looked.
The NHL’s Big City Greens Classic, a live 3D animated game, explained
They’re showing the game live with some of the players replaced with cartoon characters. The referee is a chicken. But they’re also taking time to explain rules and how parts of ice hockey work.
I don’t have kids but I’m completely enchanted with how much fun it is to watch hockey this way.
US Govt: We are going to ban TikTok. Meanwhile, on TikTok: www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRWw4e… (goat playing drums against a man wearing a horse mask in a bath tub)

I track my sleep data with an Apple Watch and I fell asleep without putting it back on. I went to manually add in the hours I was asleep and missed the AM/PM switch so now I’ve slept… until 1pm today.
But I can find no way to edit the manually added data from the iPhone or Watch.. is this just not possible or am I missing something?
Trying to explain why testing in dev is a bad idea and came up with this example.
Man 1: This car isn’t running real well. Man 2: Well sir, you see it’s up on the jack without 2 wheels. Man 1: I know, but I was hoping to test drive it.
So that’s how my day is going.
