30 Years of Goosebumps
“Can you imagine 30 years of this stuff? It’s hard to believe. When we started ‘Goosebumps,’ I said, ‘Let’s try two or three.’ I wasn’t real optimistic at the time. Now 30 years later, I’ve lost track of how many books.” Source: Author R.L. Stine celebrates 30 years of ‘Goosebumps’ at Library of Congress event - WTOP News
Goosebumps was a huge part of my childhood. I think I had at least the first 30 books in the series and here it is 30 years later and we’re still talking about them. Whenever a new one would come out my parents would take me to Waldenbooks at Jamestown Mall to get it. If it weren’t for these books, I may not have found my passion for reading.
I’ve decided to try adding my Ecobee camera back to HomeKit to use HKSV again. My internet seems a bit more stable since putting the Eero in bridge mode and using a Firewalla. One test yesterday was a success. Hopefully the connection issues don’t return.
I knew one of my AirPods that was replaced in May was bad. Shocked to find out both were already. Apple needs to figure this out.
I forgot they made multiple Free Willy movies. What a weird time.
Sports teams really know how to get every last dollar out of fans. Now you can pay money so you can be the first to pay them more money.
I’m on my second play through of Midnights this morning. It’s safe to say I enjoy this album.
I’m going to keep complaining about this. Report Junk and Delete should be two separate actions in messages in iOS 16. I shouldn’t be forced to say whether something is junk upon deletion. What a horrible design.
BetterTouchTool updated and put their own menu bar over Apple’s by default. Not cool at all. I had no idea what was going on or how to remove it until I dug into preferences.
The images of the Pillars of Creation from the James Webb Space Telescope are amazing. The slider tool to compare Hubble and Webb is pretty remarkable.
The wifi on my Eeros went from around 290-300 Mbps to 400+ Mbps after setting the Eero to bridge mode. I should have dumped Secure and done this a long time ago.
I took a gamble setting up my new Firewalla at lunch knowing that if my network went down and I couldn’t get it back up I’d be screwed for work this afternoon. Whole thing done in 15 mins with only one issue (had to reboot the modem after plugging in the Firewalla). So easy.
The Attorney General of Missouri is using his office to go after people critical of him. If this doesn’t terrify you, it should. What’s next for fascist Schmitt, pushing rivals out of windows?
That who you choose to run the government very much matters. It could be life and death for you and your family and friends. Source: Scripting News: Imagine
The only reason you’ll ever need to vote.
I don’t know that Arc is going to work for me as a Work browser, but I think I’ll love it to keep the sites I personally visit frequently organized.
Whoever curates the Apple Music playlists does a good job. This Drivetime Apple Music Rock playlist is getting me going this morning. 🎵
I don’t watch football but I’d be lying if I said watching Brady come back from retirement to fail miserably wasn’t pretty entertaining. I’m here for the memes alone.
I kind of want to get one of the new 4K Apple TVs just so I can give my current 4K to my parents who are on an older HD. The apps, especially DirecTV, are so slow on it.
If you are searching for secure email, file hosting, and VPN, Proton.me has always been my recommendation, but their new storage bonus is icing on the cake.
I’ve said it before and I’ll keep saying it: It’s such a shame that Peacock cancelled Saved by the Bell. The reboot was so clever.
