Happy Christmas to all! And to all a good night!

The Venn diagram of the music I like and the music any other human likes will have some narrow overlap. My experience tells me you would rather tell me about the music you like. Anything I share in return is too weird. There a very few individuals who are as curious as I am. I adore them.

I’m confused. If I meet the requirements to generate a passkey, why do I also need to enter a one-time password or confirm in an app on another device?
Seeing others work on their online presence inspires me. Have been looking over my stuff and fixing some details.
Signed some Christmas cards today. I swear a good third of them look like I have not mastered fine motor control or have not learned all of the letterforms—as I approach the sixth decade of signing my name.
Went to Apple to have them repair my iPhone. Have been living without the back camera for some time. But increasingly it was more and more troublesome. Thankfully, I was covered by AppleCare and it’s all over but the restore.
Watched the first two episodes of Agatha All Along tonight. Looks like a fun series. I’m hooked.
Sometimes changing your blog theme is the right amount of fun challenge.
In the long list of headlines that make me feel old:
The first Lamborghini Countach was made 50 years ago
I was made more than 50 years ago. https://www.autoblog.com/news/the-first-lamborghini-countach-was-made-50-years-ago
Image Playground categorically refuses to deal with the fact that I have a full beard and will not accentuate it. But it will try to render me with a goatee or terrible mustache or some small amount of growth that a young person might consider “trying to grow a beard.”
When your collection of stuff reaches a certain point, you realize you’re a curator, conservator, docent, archivist, guard, exhibition designer, etc.
All Of Us from Spoke’s album ”Done”. Also appears on the album _All We Need Of Hell” https://youtu.be/a8jTZI8YDI8?si=O1bZ1-fZgzjuiHjc
Watching The Song Remains The Same for the first time. I was 8 when it was released theatrically.
I just heard myself say “What’s the temp out side? The air sounds cold.” It’s eight Fahrenheit, reference.
Darling Buds So Close
When your shuffled playlist brings back something you forgot you loved. From the Crawdaddy album released circa 1990.

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer’s stop motion animation was released 60 years ago. It feels like on of the few things left in popular culture that’s still older than me. Not by much, mind you. But still.
Ordered a pair of Shokz Openfit earbuds for work, based on the recommendation of a colleague. I’m impressed. I have an OpenRun bone conduction headset and these buds have better bass while not requiring anything in my ear. Great for surreptitious tunes while maintaining readiness for Teams calls.
I was confused about how Plex orders files associated with TV series. A little searching lead me to find Plex sorts based on TMDB, which is similar to IMDB. Plex respects parts of your file names. If you name episodes based on TMDB, results are much better. SxxExx maps to TMDB season and episode.
