I re-watched Truth or Dare this week. It came out at what I feel was most likely the zenith of her career, with her Immaculate Collection and her book Sex all in popular media at once.
It was fun to see. I had forgotten there might have been any controversy around any of her performances since she has bee... 1-1.hjalmer.com https://1-1.hjalmer.com/2025/03/16/i-rewatched-truth-or-dare/
Not sure if I have an AppleTV issue or a playlist-too-big issue. When I pick a few of my larger dynamic lists, the Apple TV becomes unresponsive for several minutes. Not an issue on my iPhone 15 streaming the same lists, but my AppleTV model is circa 2017. Only seems to be an issue since tvOS 18.
Coffee.

I need more coffee.
I opened my web browser on my work computer, and once more I have no idea what I was going to do next.
First time I’ve seen an Instax photo. About the size of a credit card. From a company event this morning.
Apologies to Tim who has no idea he is on my timeline. 
What You Should Do

I experimented today. At the soda machine I picked Lime Coke Zero. Then I saw that also I could do Cherry Coke Zero. And I thought maybe they might be two great tastes that taste great together, like cherry lime-aid from Sonic. Short answer: No. Much too sweet and bland rather than tangy.
Apple Notes has good keyboard shortcuts. However, searching for notes to link isn’t consistent. I can’t use a space character in my search, and search results do not show everything that matches search terms. So that’s a challenge I’m having setting up the cross-linking needed for Forever✱Notes. https://www.myforevernotes.com

Hello
Ah, the joys of synchronization. https://1-1.hjalmer.com/2025/02/15/ah-the-joys-of-synchronization/
I am avoiding articles that include the phrase “Here’s what to expect…” because I expect a company to announce everything it is prepared to announce as soon as it is ready to do so. That is enough for me. I understand that they have advertisers to service, but I’m not participating.
I met the challenge.
Even with a lid on the cup, I managed to pour coffee onto my face and my clothing. 
The good news is that the guitar I have is rated well for beginners—Some of the information I was looking for lead to several different discussions with similar statements by different folks.
That feeling when you excitedly disassemble your guitar only to find that you bought the wrong pick guard. SO. Monday night after the new guard arrives, I can get back to work putting everything together and re-stringing. I’m so upset with myself.
Really surprised to find the Adobe Acrobat installer on my M3 MacBook Pro at work required Rosetta.
Katie Kadan: All Better
This track is a great case in point. Came up in rotation and fairly demands attention. Soulful/Bluesy vocal. https://music.apple.com/us/album/all-better-the-voice-performance/1491663537?i=1491663539
It might just be me, but I miss being able to purchase tracks from The Voice on iTunes. It used to be a big part of the show but it must have cost too much money or the licensing liability somehow too great. Nevertheless, it was something I enjoyed.
There’s a lot to be said for learning the hard way. I am deeply impatient with myself. I was attempting to restring a guitar I was gifted with many years ago—because I want to really dig in and learn. I broke the first new string in my eagerness. So now I wait for replacements to arrive.
