I’m not a bud drinker, but Love this commercial youtu.be/0AHYf8JI1…

My wife went ot visit stores around Kona and try to job some holiday ideas loose in her mind. I stayed home and dug through some cainets to clear out some tech cruft. Accumulated cables and chargers and adapters and long out dated tech. Time for a purge.

What a finish for Illinois. 4 and long with time running out, 43 yard touch down.

Never really was a Big 10 fan. Always Pac-10, WAC, Mountain West, some SEC (mostly basketball). But here’s where we are, the Big 18, the Big 16 and the Pac-2. The SEC still stands.

All of the clubs that I follow won. 4 with clean sheets. Konawaena won last night. I’m both a Texas and Kentucky fan so I’ll win and lose in the game.

Micro.blog iOS app doesn’t repond to sharing from a screenshot. Tap and nothing. Like a dead button. Others work.

College football announcers are so enthusiastic. They make any game sound exciting

Really enjoyed Gladiator II. Pretty much a must see on big screen movie, much like Dune. When we went into the theater it was empty. 3:40 show. About 8-10 more people came in. 40 min of previews and commercials. That dragged on. The movie was definitely a Ridley Scott

Trying out the Vivaldi browser tiled tab feature for the 4 social media sites I use daily. So far, so good.

As I creep ever closer to retirement and I’ve been canceling more small subscriptions and services that I don’t need for work or basic nerdiness.

Need something like Tweetdeck for all of the different social networks

My wife wants to see Gladiator in the theater. Secured tickets. I’ve only seen 1 movie in the theater since maybe 2019 - that was Dune part 2.

My 2014 Mac mini can only update to Monterey, so can’t use iCloud. Some ancient apps on it that won’t open. I love that it has so many ports. New M4 looks attractive. I have an M! that still runs fine in daily use

We have this monster entertainment center. We got a deal on it from a couple that to make a quick move in 2008. We’ve moved it 5 times. It’s originally from Koehnen’s Interiors in Hilo. Solid wood. It separates to 4 parts, but never moving it again. Next time it will haul it and it’s yours.

Was back in the kitchen yesterday to talk to chef about my progressive return to work beginning Dec 7. 2 days-then 3, 4 and finally 5 in successive weeks. I expect to be back at full speed by the end of the year. I’m actually a month ahead of schedule.

Since I started making Apple Hide my email part of my workflow, really liking it. Easy to cancel.

We’re in a good stretch of weather in the past 2 weeks. No storm systems, no low or high pressure systems and we’ve had shift to winter with the jet stream shifting. Temperatures are down 10 degrees. Had a 69 the other night and even had days stay in the low 80s. A great break

A widely held belief about driving, if you drive really close to the car in front of you, they will drive faster.

The complex where we live in Kona had to turn off the water to entire site. We got notice at 2:22 for a 2:20 3-4 hour shutoff. Not even time to fill a water bottle

Children of Men takes place in 3 years. In the current climate (political and environmental) it’s not impossible

My wife is always coming across Reels of things in our house or food that we have that will kill us. There’s also always something that must be soaked in vinegar

I just go with it most times, but my continuing mantra: I haven’t died yet.

Really liking the PBS Nova shorts on Coastline management. Mostly features Native Tribes

Ok. Apple Maps is pissing me off. I’m looking for the distance between 2 places in California. Tried for 15 min and it kept trying to use my home address in Hawaii. In Google Maps it took me 30 seconds.

Kalapana before the 1984 lava flow

Changed my Guardian app to the UK edition.
