Things I should probably find alarming: when I start going to bed even before the dogs declare it to be bed time.

Either that, or that I’m becoming Ned Flanders.

The iPad at 10: A New Product Category Defined by Apps

As someone that’s come to rely on tablets heavily, despite avoiding the fruit company for much of the past decade, I kind of like the notion of tablets as a middle category—because that’s where most people’s computing lands.

A long time ago, I preferred laptops to desktops for the portability. Today, I don’t really believe in desktops so much for two main reasons: laptops aren’t as underpowered as they used to be, and rack mounted servers pwn most towers if you’re really going for raw compute power.

Tablets kind of answer the ability to do most of what regular people do with their computer. But aren’t so tied to the concept of a monitor, mouse, keyboard, and tower; laptops both suffer and benefit from rubbing the same software. And tablets would mostly suck for running the same software as desktops, far more than it would from adding a mouse and monitor to today’s tablets.

For better or worse: software often defines are interactions with devices. Think otherwise? Try using Windows 95 without a mouse or keyboard 🤣

Someone, please tell me this lifestyle is a reincarnation option?

Think it was time for a new pocket comb?

As far as I can recall, my family hadn’t bought any since the mid 1980s or the late 1970s, or something like that. It’s been too many decades to remember well where hand me down combs come from 8-). But needless to say, it was time.

Over the last year most of the teeth wore out, and it’s been increasingly difficult to clean without expediting the process. For something like $3.25, I can’t complain about the replacement as long as its endurance is measured in months or years, and not at all if it’s measured in decades, lol.

Somehow I find it just a bit sad there’s no dab of ricotta in the center of this, lol

I usually aim to put the meatballs to one side, and after placing the garlic bread, I kind of went “Hmm”, and then went to go eat, lol.

Strange an unusual things:

When hostname.domain gets assigned to prefix.someotherip, yet hostname has prefix.manuallyassigned. Or should we say that Cream had its expected address but my router server decided another, unused address was to be resolved to its name.

On the flipside, forcefully renewing the network connection and everybody is happy again. *Shrugs*

When Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles originally aired, I didn’t even learn of its existence until some years later. So, I pretty much missed the entire thing. Finding that Amazon’s streaming stuff has it on IMDb with ads, I’m finding it well worth the wait.

It’s also a bit refreshing, given how the films have evolved.
