Afternoon naps on the weekend are great.

It’s kind of fun trying to find applications for all the services that you normally use in a browser. I mean, I can pretty much do everything I do in my personal life from a Chrome tab one way or another, so testing new to me applications is a nice hobby.
Greetings from the new MacBook Air.
Excited to start playing around in a new OS and learning new things.
I’ll still be using my PC and Pixelbook. It’s not a complete change of scenery, just an added playground.
Choose the sword, and you will join me
Choose the ball, and you join your mother, in death
You don’t understand my words, but you must choose
So, come boy, choose life or death
GZA’s Liquid Swords is one of my favorite albums of all time.
Baseball will be back this year! Opening Day is April 7. Looking forward to some slow moving sport this summer.
The iPad Air with the M1 for $600 is interesting
These oil paintings by Agnieska Nienartowicz are truly fantastic.
Simply stunning work.
I’m at the beginning of thinking that I’ll buy a MacBook Air sometime this year. I don’t have any real use case for it other than to dip my toe into the Apple world.
The question I have is should I get the 8GB or upgrade to 16GB of memory if it’s just a general machine?
I’m currently using a Pizelbook for my laptop, a PC I built myself 5 years ago that will eventually be upgraded, an Amazon Fire 10 HD as a tablet and reading device, a Pixel 4 for my personal phone, and an iPhone SE for my work phone.
Reminder
This week I was using my Kindle Fire HD with Google Play added on and thought to myself
I don’t really use a lot of the apps from the Play Store on this device. Maybe I should reset it and use it only with the apps available on the Amazon store.
So, that’s what I just did.
Started reading Snow Crash last night. Love the idea of the Delivinator at the beginning of the story.
Currently reading: Snow Crash: A Novel by Neal Stephenson 📚
Finished reading: A Sky Beyond the Storm (An Ember in the Ashes) by Sabaa Tahir 📚
An exciting ending to a really great series. Excellent writing, great characters, and solid world building. I really enjoyed the whole series and kept looking to continue the story throughout.
Today’s breakfast was French Toast and eggs with coffee.
I should have taken a photo, but it was devoured too quickly for that.
Just added to my Want to read list: The Justice of Kings (Empire of the Wolf, 1) by Richard Swan because of this The Big Idea post. 📚
