  • Yes, finally got an @atpfm@mastodon.social pint glass! Quest completed! 🤓

  • Slowly starting the process of moving my domains away from Google. 🤞🏻

  • 🎵 Yes, I know it’s too early for holiday music but it’s been a rough year…and it’s Cher, so the rules don’t apply. 🏳️‍🌈

    Bring on the holiday music! 🎄

  • I was hoping to start swapping my media server from it’s tower case into my new Slinger CX4712 case over the weekend…but life got in the way. Fingers crossed I can get to it this week, I don’t want to impact any end users. 🤞🏻📷

    Empty server case on light-brown carpet, with some bubble wrap in the back of the case, with some boxed computer fans on top, with wires coming out of the front of the case.
  • Photo of a container of Trader Joe's pumpkin spice coffee on the right side (on top of a kitchen counter, the 'fake' marbled pattern in various shades of brown), next to a calendar-book featuring a photo of a museum in Germany (it's a Rick Steve calendar).

    Yes, I might be called “basic” but ‘tis the season… 🎃☕️📷

  • 🍿 “It’s just a little Hocus Pocus!" 📷
    ★★★☆☆

    The movie 'Hocus Pocus' projected up on the side of a house at night, frozen at the title screen of the movie for the picture. In the lower-left corner of the image, a glowing fire, and in the upper-left of the image, the fading light of the setting sun.

    An annual tradition with my Girls from University, we started watching the movie (and pigging out) outside during the Pandemic and have just kept that as part of our Autumn event.

  • On a lark yesterday (it was a very long day at work), I decided “oh, what the heck, install the betas”…and honestly, I’m rather surprised. Both my phone and tablet are running faster and smoother. (Side Note: having iOS tag your pets into a collection is amazing. 🐶🐱) #iOS #beta

  • Random Thought: With Twitter (aka “X”) talking about collecting even more data (link to Ars Technica), now seems like a good time to export my old Tweets, remove the Twitter apps from my devices, and import said data into Micro Blog.

  • Random Thought: Sipping on my first and only pumpkin spice latte of the season. ☕️🎃🍁

  • Too much coffee today… ☕️

  • I keep looking up, expecting Russell to be on the couch or in his nest of blankets. I keep expecting to hear the clatter of his nails on the kitchen floor. I keep expecting to hear him woof and growl at the slamming of a car door. I keep expecting him to greet me @ the door. 💔🐶

  • Goodbye Russell

    We said goodbye to our boy today. He drifted across the rainbow bridge full of all his favorite foods (ham, meatballs, & pâté), nestled between us on the couch (it was his favorite place to be). I’m going to miss you, my little puppy-rabbit, I’m going to miss you. 💔🐶🐕

    I’m reminded of my favorite song from my favorite musical:

    I’ve heard it said,
    That people come into our lives,
    For a reason.
    Bringing something we must learn.
    And we are lead to those,
    Who help us most to grow if we let them.
    And we help them in return.
    Well I don’t know if I believe that’s true.
    But I know I’m who I am today,
    Because I knew you.
    …..
    Who can say if I’ve been changed for the better.
    I do believe I have been changed for the better.
    …..
    Because I knew you,
    I have been changed
    For good.

    …Of course, in my head, I’m changing out “people” with “dogs” but you get the idea…

    Goodbye my little friend, I’m going to miss you…until we (hopefully) meet again. Thank you for letting me be your Human. 💔🐶

  • Had such a great time last night at the The Fox last night, the The Piano Guys put on one heck of a show. 😃

    Two musicians on stage with instruments, presenting under a large sign that reads 'THE PIANO GUYS,' with a vibrant blue splash graphic, audience clapping, bright stage lights.

  • Surprised the ball-n-chain with tickets to see The Piano Guys at The Fox; I had no idea he was a fan of them. 😂

  • Date night, went out to an old favorite of ours. 🍱🥢 😋
