I get my political news elsewhere. Interested in following people who share stuff about themselves.

It's specifically relevant/useful right now, so I finally wrote this up.
Annual Phone Upgrade
Summary I upgrade my phone every year for a pretty simple reason: it’s cheaper than upgrading less frequently (with some caveats). I long ago hit the critical mass of people asking for detail…

1. It's been a while since I've sat in a chair and not had my feet reach the ground.
2. I think most people at Botto's right now are going to the Brent Cobb concert across the street in about twenty minutes.

This is the third time I've tried Tidal, and it's juuuuuuust good enough for my uses to choose it over Spotify.
Switching from Spotify to Tidal

The description of a pitch during the Mariners/Blue Jays broadcast:
"It hit his knee so hard that it registered on StatCast as a batted ball. 55 MPH off his knee."
That's the most disturbing sports-related quote I've heard in quite some time.

A couple months ago, I bought some light to use on my bike during community rides. Today, I got a splitter that connects four lights to one power source, and the first time I plugged them in to test, they were randomly pointing in a direction that made them look really cool.

I recently won a $500 Visa card. When I tried to think of stuff that would be a bit of a splurge while also providing real long-term benefit, I ended up with a saddle refresh. The rest will probably extend my Game Pass Ultimate subscription.

Cable Cuffs
A fair number of things are stored coiled: extension cords, hoses, string lights, A/V cables, etc. And they’re often stored stacked on each other where they congeal and form unholy Gordian kn…

Most of us need more protein than we get from our normal diets, and powders are an easy way to supplement (my favorites are listed here). Most powders don’t mix well enough for a spoon to suf…

I recently lost my pop shade, so I figured I'd write this up as I made replacements. A review for the new pop shade should be up in 2-3 weeks.
How I Tie Down a Sideline Pop Shade
The most common way to anchor a sideline pop shade is ground stakes, but there are some situations where stakes are either annoying to use or significantly less effective. This is a simple setup th…

Finally broke a multi-year streak of people asking me for money in front of grocery stores/restaurants, me offering to buy them food, and them turning me down. Got a tuna wrap and drink for someone at the New Seasons in Woodstock.

Some friends who were affected by the Quantum Fiber outage yesterday were asking about instructions for updating their home networks. The information exists in vendor documentation, but I thought I could make it easier. Not a bad idea for everyone to do this proactively.

One of the jobs in the NINTH FREE DLC PACK of Power Wash Simulator is cleaning a couple subway cars. I thought it was fun, but a little short. Then I noticed the the percentage complete and took a closer look around. Then I opened the doors.

The best protein supplement is the one you'll actually drink/eat. I'm bad about remembering to mix powder after practices and during tournaments, so I tried some pre-mixed options.

Back in the day, I acquired an MP3 named Shades of Gray that I later realized had the wrong artist noted. I listed to it for 20+ years, then "lost" it when I moved to Spotify. While going through my Discover Weekly playlist, I randomly found that it was released in 1998 by a band named Cry Cy Cry.
