Things I Like This Week: Week 2
This week was a busy week for me, so there wasn’t much new that I liked, but I did find some new things, as well as found comfort in some old favorites.
- Pearl Jam - MTV Unplugged
- JD Vance Couch Memes
- Pain Salesmen by Prof and Ren
- USWNT Soccer and the Olympics
- Linux Mint 22
- Bando Stone and the New World by Childish Gambino
- MASH and Batman Virtual Channels on my Channels server
Now playing Huey Lewis and the News - Collected
Now playing Pearl Jam - MTV Unplugged
Universal Control just quit working between my Macbook and iPad. I’ve tried every solution I could find and nothing works. It was a feature I used daily too. So annoying. Anyone else run into this?
Are ropes on hats really back in style and why? I wasn’t a fan in the ’80s. Still not a fan.
Switched back to Zorin OS from Mint. I really do like the UI of Zorin.
I used to think John Siracusa was the most logical person on the internet. Then I heard the ATP member’s special where he revealed he has an app on his iOS dock that is no longer functional and serves as a memorial for the app. Taking up a whole dock spot. Crazy.
I went for a short 5 mile bike ride this morning. Half way in, it started raining for about 5 blocks, then I was out of it. So that was fun.
Things I Like This Week: Week 1
There is so much bad in the world, sometimes I forget to take time to appreciate the good things in life. I hope to start weekly post where I list some things that I liked throughout the week. This is Week 1.
-
The MLB channel on Pluto.tv where they show classic MLB games and other baseball programming.
-
The North 02 YouTube channel for informative videos on past cultures and civilizations.
-
Speaking of YouTube, Cleo Abram’s channel is fantastic for optimistic tech explainers.
That’s it for Week 1. Hopefully, you find something you enjoy. What are you enjoying this week?
Watching the 1985 NLCS Ozzie Smith walk off home run game. I love being able to revisit these old games.
My only gripe with the new Overcast (so far) is no seek options (forward and backward) in the MiniPlayer at the bottom. It means an extra touch to open the podcast first.
This St. Louis City SC team just looks lost.
How can you tell someone has Sonos speakers? They will tell you. Over and over and over.
Now playing Sports by Huey Lewis and the News.
Now playing.
I really wish there was a good iOS podcast app. The Podcasts app is garbage for power users and Overcast doesn’t support video in a world where more and more podcasts are offering video feeds.
I smashed my index finger in my front door on the day of the Kentucky Derby. It has still not healed. The nail is close to finally falling off. Hopefully it will be off within the next week.
I love finding weird, old records.
Overcast has been forgetting my play position a lot recently. So annoying to constantly relisten to parts of podcasts because it can’t “remember” accurately.
