Dispo Roomba

Mr DJ Roomba, Esq kicked off his journey at 3:00AM today. I woke up, for some unknown reason, about 10 minutes later. In my 99% asleep state I thought it would be funny to take a picture of Mr DJ Roomba, Esq rolling around the kitchen and dining room. I figured I’d use Dispo because I am a sucker who suffers from crippling FOMO.

I probably should have turned on the lights. In my defense, I was 99% asleep.

Periscope is a Rush Fan’s Best Friend

Rush played Vegas last night.  I wasn’t there.  Fortunately, a couple of people who were there broadcast their views on the periscope app.  I couldn’t really see anything, but I could hear everything… Sort of.  Bad bootleg quality, but still good enough for me in the moment.  Sweet. 

   

Evernote and Other Appy, Nerdy Stuff

A couple of days ago, my wife suggested I use Evernote. I had installed the app on my phone before, but never really used it. I thought it would be cool for grocery shopping lists, but I can’t get any cell signal at the grocery store. Now that I’m a supervisor at work though I find that requests get thrown at me so fast that it s really easy to lose track of them. Gmail helps a ton, what with labels and starring and such, but I am afraid I am going to miss something.

Yesterday morning when I logged into work I brought up Evernote and entered a couple of ideas for additions to the group web page. I had a meeting at 10:00am so I also made note of a couple of emails I wouldn’t have time to get to right away. When I got back to my desk I had Gmail open in one window and Evernote open in another. Between the two sites and questions coming to me in person, over the phone, and via Hangouts, I was able to get to all of the higher priority stuff and not lose track of the lower end things.

It seemed to work nicely yesterday, and so far today it’s the same thing. I had heard that Google had an Evernote of their own coming. I think it’s available. My company is all about Google these days (Gmail! WOOHOO!) so maybe I should use that for bandwagon’s sake. A quick Google search tells me it’s called Keep. Maybe I’ll check it out.

As for WordPress.com, I mentioned that I was trying to set up categories. Wouldn’t you know it, I screwed up the tag to category transfer and now every post I have (all 6,300 or so) have the tag “uncategorized”. So I have begun the slow and painful process of updating each post to include a category and to remove the uncategorized tag. Happy Days. This project will probably run out of gas quickly. We’ll see.
