Squirrel!

If you happen to notice a flood of posts today that seem out of place or receive notice and then see something was dated two weeks ago, it’s because I was going through my Drafts folder just now and noticed several that were never published.

I have a terrible habit of working on a post, saving it, walking away from the computer for a while and then come back, having completely forgotten about it.

Well That’s Disappointing

My Instagram Top Nine for 2022.

I remember when I used to actually post photos I’d taken on Instagram.

THIS IS WHAT TRUMP AND THE LAST SIX YEARS HAVE DONE TO ME.

Yes, He’s Hot…

…but “Sergeant Miles” was also one of the arrested—and sentenced—January 6th Capitol Rioters. Amazing the things you learn that can immediately turn HOT to NOT.

There was another “adult entertainer” a few years back, one “Mike Dozer,” who I’d long-standing hots for who was convicted and sent to prison for having sex with and passing HIV to a 14-year old. [Thankfully the 14-year old remained negative, but still.]

 

Now I see his pictures and just cringe.

I Had One of These

The second-generation Sony D-100 was my second portable CD player. The first was a first-generation Sony D-7. Being an early adopter, I suffered through several problems with the D-7, but it was worth it to have “CD Quality” sound with me wherever I went.

The D-100, however, was much more reliable and was my constant companion for half a dozen years or so. The only problem it had was a dodgy headphone jack that kept coming unsoldered from the main circuit board, necessitating numerous self-repairs over the lifespan of the unit.

I don’t remember what ultimately happened to either player, but my need for a portable CD player was eventually usurped when I got into Minidisc in the late 90s and the early 00s; a technology vastly superior for portable music, but ultimately made obsolete by the iPod.

Quote of the Day

With a necessary part of its collective mind, religion looks forward to the destruction of the world. By this I do not mean it ‘looks forward’ in the purely eschatological sense of anticipating the end. I mean, rather, that it openly or covertly wishes that end to occur. Perhaps half aware that its unsupported arguments are not entirely persuasive, and perhaps uneasy about its onw greedy accumulation of temporal power and wealth, religion has never ceased to proclaim the Apocalypse and the Day of Judgment.” ~ Christopher Hitchens, God is Not Great
