I read an article tonight that said Yahoo is looking to sell off it’s core internet products. It also did some math to demonstrate that Wall Street values Yahoo’s US business at LESS than ZERO dollars per share.

Flickr… Yahoo owns Flickr…

Uh oh.

I bought a little gorilla tripod with a cellphone attachment. The idea being I could video band practices and then try to sync the video to my garageband recordings and have quality sound on a rehearsal video for the first time in human history.

I was playing with the little tripod thing tonight. I set it on my desk and then used my Apple Watch to remotely take a couple of pics of the cat. she was not amused.

It’s over.  It ended today.

The ebay auction.  All over.

We are no longer a Mac Pro household.  The woman of my dreams, the love of my life, my darling Jen sold her Mac Pro on ebay and we just got rid of it.

It was nice while it lasted.  Maybe when Apple updates it we’ll fork over the fortune in gold required to get another one.

HoHoHo!

I did something yesterday that I’ve never done in the 11+ years I’ve been working for this company.

I left for the day, and forgot my glasses on my desk.  I’ve never done that.  Worse, I needed them when I got home.  I was trying to cook dinner and I needed to read something off of a box and it was a major struggle.  I can read without my glasses, but it gives me headaches.  I was really pissed at myself.

Hey, do you know what’s coming in just under two weeks? 

 
It’s almost RPM Challenge time, boys and girls.  I’m in, are you?

Patches and I are watching the Bruins.  She was wondering if the B’s were ever going to generate some sustained pressure in the offensive zone. 

 

I bought a movie ticket a couple of hours before the show time.  I picked a seat on the aisle with no one sitting within five seats in any direction.  When I got here there were two people in the theater… They were in the two seats next to mine.  The next three people into the theater sat in the three seats next to them.

Are you effing kidding me?

I have today off for the MLK Day holiday.  What should I do with my day?

First off was a pediatric endocrinology appointment for my step son.  Let’s just say that even the doctor was super impressed with his management of his diabetes.  The kid is a freakin’ all star.  You should all be very impressed.

What else should I do today?  I wanted to take my beloved bride to lunch, but she already has a lunch meeting.  Not sure what else I should do.  On the drive to the doctor this morning I started listening to the audio book of the novelization of the new Star Wars.  Two chapters in and I am unimpressed.  It reads like it was written by a high school kid who is trying very hard to impress everyone with his vocabulary, but instead is just laughably awful.  The long description of BB8 rolling past some birds made me want to cry.  I don’t think I’ll spend my day off with any more of that.

But it makes me think…

Are there still morning showings of The Force Awakens at the theater in town?  On that subject, how many points is a small bag of popcorn?

The answers are yes, and 13 points.  Well… I guess I’m going to the movies!  (but I’ll probably skip the popcorn)
