I almost always use my iPad with the Smart Keyboard or on a stand that can be raised and lowered with my standing desk. I forget how nice it feels to just hold in your hand to read or browse the internet.
I’ve been waiting to see what Conan does next on TV. It seems we have our answer in Conan O’Brien Must Go.
I heard 10th Ave.1957 for the first time today and now I’ve listened to it four times. What a song. 🎵

Flowers on my lunch time walk.
I missed that Proton VPN started offering a browser extension. On top of the Proton Pass that’s in beta, they are really hitting the nail on the head of new products I specifically want.
If anyone has a Bluesky invite and wants to send it along, let me know. I love Mastodon (and micro.blog) but also love playing with new things.

I’m so happy that the Cardinals have unveiled a uniform sponsor. That will surely help an awful team get better. Get bent, DeWitt.
Growing up a Cardinals fan in St. Louis meant Mike Shannon was the soundtrack to your summer. So sad to hear about his passing. A baseball and St. Louis legend.
The Springfield Cardinals will wear Springfield Cashew Chickens gear. You better believe I bought a hat.
Reporting for Jury Duty
Do yourself a favor and check out Jury Duty on FreeVee. It’s really good. From Wikipedia:
The series chronicles the inner workings of a jury trial in the US through the eyes of juror Ronald Gladden, a solar contractor from San Diego, who is unaware that his jury duty summons was not official, and that everyone on the jury aside from him is an actor. Everything that happens, inside and outside the courtroom, is planned.
I grew up during peak cable TV, before channel drift took hold, so this video about why cable TV networks are all the same now was a fascinating watch.
I already use Proton’s services, so I’m excited to hear about the beta launch of Proton Pass.
Who could have predicted the St. Louis Cardinals would have a pitching problem this year?
NARRATOR: Everyone. Everyone could have predicted it.
Received a standing desk for my birthday and I purchased an adjustable stand for my iPad. Enjoying the new setup.
Taking Play for a spin to manage video content I want to watch later. I love how simple and beautiful the app is. This will come in handy to track videos on YouTube I want to watch eventually.
The documentary about Rick Ankiel from MLB, Truth Be Told: Rick Ankiel, is so good.
Major League umpires are trash.
