My 2012 Mac Mini is barely hanging on. I use it as a Plex and Channels server, and that’s pretty much it. I really don’t want to spend the money on a new Mac to replace it. It may be time to check out one of those cheap mini PCs.

Don’t forget the He Gets Us Jesus people also fund terrorists.

Today’s record is A Tribe Called Quest’s Anthology.

A Tribe Called Quest’s Anthology

New record.

Dropkick Murphys album this Machine Still Kills Fascists on vinyl.

I may have to purchase this.

I watched some of the UK Ghosts a while back and enjoyed it. I never gave the US version a shot until today and it is delightful.

Carl Weathers was a huge part of the Saturday and Sunday movie matinees on the local TV stations. RIP.

I have never intentionally grouped tabs in Edge.

My parents are downsizing and moving to a villa. It will be weird to not go visit them in the house where I spent my high school and college break years. Their new place is like half the distance from me now, which is great. Can’t wait to find a good bike route to them.

At least once a week my Ecobee thermostat drops from WiFi and I have to spend 10 minutes getting it back on (it NEVER works the first try). Getting a little tired of it.

My Instagram feed is just dog pictures, videos, and memes now. I’m not complaining.

Received my Logitech ergonomic keyboard today. So far, I don’t like it nearly as much as the Sculpt, but it will have to do for now. I really don’t like having a number pad attached. My mouse feels too far away now.

Now playing Monk’s Dream by Thelonious Monk.

My iPhone randomly disconnects from my wifi and I can’t figure out why. I’ll be in the same room, 5 feet from the access point and it will drop wifi. Tried forgetting the network to no avail. When it happens, it happens off and on for an entire day before it goes away for a week or so.

I was planning on using my old Magic Keyboard that’s plugged into my Mac Mini as a backup until a new keyboard arrives on Wednesday. I unplugged it from the Mini and saw that the back had popped off from an expanded battery. Fun.

I think my Microsoft Sculpt keyboard is about to die and the company that took over Microsoft’s peripherals doesn’t have any ready. Not paying over $300 on Amazon for one.

I’ve been rewatching 30 Rock recently. It’s such a great show. It feels like it was never really appreciated.

Gary Gulman is on today’s Never Not Funny. I love listening to him talk comedy shop. One of the funniest in the business.

After Midnight is good. I really did miss the format. Definitely added to my DVR.

Conversation Hearts are wildly underappreciated.
