I’m having fun playing with the virtual channels feature in Channels. I’m basically recreating the cable of my youth.

I’ve been playing with Channels for my TV/DVR needs. It’s a neat server/app combo. I really like the virtual channels feature. I have Cheers, Night Court, and Becker channels. Then I have my entire movie library playing like an old school HBO. I may get an HD Home Run and add OTA channels too. 📺
I never thought I’d be someone that roots for the Texas Rangers but here we are. ⚾️
I hooked up an antenna to my Roku TV just to see what local channels I could pick up. I was pleasantly surprised to find that Roku has a guide for my local channels and integrates their free streaming channels with it. You can also attach a USB drive to the TV so that you can pause live TV. Neat.
I have not been this excited for an album in a long time. Already predicting it will land in my top 10 of all time list. Now listening to the album Sick Boi by Ren. 🎵

Superego and Wild Horses doing a murder mystery improv show? I’m in! Stream it tonight.
It’s rainy and 65. It’s starting to feel like autumn in St. Louis finally.
I was wrong about this post. My sleep focus disables as scheduled and then turns back on for no reason.
Sleep Focus Not Turning Off in iOS 17
Since upgrading to iOS 17/iPhone 15 I’ve been having issues with my Sleep Focus not turning off automatically. Apparently, I’m not the only one. This post on the MacRumors forum seems to have worked for me so far.
- Deleted the Sleep Focus
- Restarted iPhone
- Went into Health and made sure I had a Sleep Schedule defined there
- Created a new Sleep Focus
- Added People & Apps that I wanted to be allowed to deliver notifications
- Made sure the schedule transferred over from Health
- If Sleep Focus turns itself back on after this, turn it off.
- Restart iPhone
Soccer time with dad. Let’s go CITY!

Oh boy!

A Bus Ride by Joey Votto was a nice little surprise tonight. ⚾
I never thought there could be officiating worse than MLB umpires until I started watching MLS.
My upgraded seat, bike lock and phone mount are supposed to ship out next week. I cannot wait so I can finally use my bike to run real errands.
My sister and I have a thing called The Twilight Zone Paradox. No matter how many episodes and marathons you’ve watched, you’ll always come across one you haven’t seen before. This has been happening to us our entire lives. It happened to me last night with The Lonely. 📺
I talk to my dog while wearing AirPods way too much to use the conversation awareness setting.
Last Friday, my dad had to take my mom to the hospital via ambulance. I was in a meeting at the time but thanks to live voicemail in iOS 17, I could read his message as he was leaving it. Magical feature. My mom is doing fine.
Siri mispronounces my last name on iOS 17. It was pronounced correctly on iOS 16.
I just used my e-bike to pick up an order from Target. I really do love this bike.
