I plugged in an old external hard drive and had my first iMac system crash in years. There was a loud screech, the screen went black, and the computer rebooted. Got the fright of my life. Nothing seems to have been damaged but this drive is getting binned.
I found a box of the limited edition Wilco Field Notes online. Who do I start to use first? Jeff Tweedy…Nels Cline…?
Keep The Change by Mattiel. 🎵
It’s my birthday and I’m at work alone today. The good thing about lone-working is that I get to choose the radio station and I choose BBC Radio 3. Classical music is “depressing” according to my usual colleagues. I find it anything but. 🎵
I think spring just sproinged.
I mentioned how great it was to see the return of Hakuho to Grand Sumo this month. He’s just retired from the tournament again. Hey-ho.
It’s Grand Sumo Tournament time again. I’ve been watching Sumo on the NHK World Japan TV channel for a few years now and its become a bit of an addiction. There hasn’t been any yokozuna action for a while so it’s great to see Hakuho back. Looking good so far.
The iOS app 1Writer is a very good companion for Obsidian. Notes and backlinks sync and if you set the default extension in 1Writer to “.md” you can create Obsidian notes there too. It’s nice to find a purpose for an app I bought a long time ago and never used.
Finished watching Pretend It’s A City on Netflix and now I want to read some Fran Lebowitz.
There must be something magical in Lyon, France, that makes it produce so many great bands. This is one of my favourite albums from last year (Bandcamp link). Odessey & Oracle - Crocorama 🎵
I seem have escaped any of the more common side effects of yesterday’s Covid jab. I shivered with cold for a little while last night, which might not have been related anyway, but I’m feeling fine now.
I got my first Covid jab today and also unfriended someone on another social media site. A Covidiot of course. Every post was like a personal insult or slap in the face to those of us that are trying to do the right thing. We didn’t interact anyway so no big loss.
