Different 9/11 experience in Hawaii due to the time difference. I didn’t know anything was up until I got to work and turned on TV in the kitchen (I owned my own Cafe) My Dad was on an early flight back to Hawaii from DC he was ahead of the tragedies and was grounded in Denver for a couple of days

She woke up at 3:15 pm yesterday


The thought recently crossed my mind that save for one person who I worked with in 1980 at TGI Fridays and my daughter, I don’t interact with anyone I’ve known longer than 20 years. Other than those who’ve passed, I have no clue where the people are from the previous 44 years.


I’ve used Day One since 2009, June 28 to be exact. I’m kind of looking foward to Apple’s entry in the Journal space. Looking forward to a smarter journal and not have to use IFFTT or other 3rd (or 4th) party solutions.


My M1 Mac mini hasn’t been updated in a while, so now I’m going through the progression of Ventura updates before I can get to Sonoma.


Chaos


Took the full leap on IOS to Orion browser and Kagi search. Will look at my Mac tomorrow, use the Arc browser mostly.

Streaming is more and more about making choices. We cut cable to save money and have flexibilty. For the most part it’s till true 3+ years later. Sports is where it’s lacking. I’m a Dodger fan & only get a few games a year. As an Arsenal & Inter fan I miss a few Arsenal matches that are on USA. If I were subscribe to FUBO, it would blow up the budget, so there’s the choice we’ve made.


It’s not looking good, loosely based on hostory. youtu.be/h-XRR3z23…


Steaming may have reached its epoch. Lately I find myself gravitating to books and music, well, mostly music (Radio Paradise)

Everpix was a good idea, but…


After all is said and done, more is said than done.


Attended my first community association board meeting in quite a few years. It was civil enough, it just reminded me why I’m no on boards any more. I was president of anHOA 15 years ago as well as serving on the Local chamber of commerce and habits for humanity boards.

Interesting podcast about Disney v Charter/Spectrum battle. We were a Spectrum cable subscriber until we cut cable 4 years ago. We still use Spectrum internet and wireless, but Hawaiian Telcom just pulled Fiber DSL to our neighborhood. We’ll have choice, would just need to switch phone company


I was helping my wife format an Excel spreadsheet, I’ve kind of alway been an Excel nerd. I was flashing back to Excel v.1. The big thing Excel had over Lotus 123 was spreadsheet formatting for presentations. The one killer feature was putting a line around an individual cell. Lotus was all or none


In a recent clean up, I found my old Apple computer repair tools. I used to change hard drives, batteries, swap DVD drives for a 2nd internal drive among other miscellany. I learned how when I was a manger of an Apple authorized retailer & repair center.
