SORT OF A REPEAT.

2019-04-18 Back in June of 2013 I posted a blip providing a link to a site that had a collection of one-liners by a favorite comedian, Henny Youngman. I visited it today for the first time in quite a while, and it’s had a lot of additions of his schtick. I recommend a revisit. And while you’re there, scan the list of other well known standup comics the site covers. Everybody needs a laugh at times.

The Move Project

2019-04-18 I found a nice project management app called MeisterTask that has the minimally needed features to wrap some sense around selling my home and getting into another. I started a bare bones plan with the big bullets, each with some tasks and target dates. I’m early in the “Clean Out” step, identifying things to get rid of on each of the living floors, and the basement and garage. Just getting this far took a load of pressure off my brain. Still ominous decisions to ponder and issues to resolve, but at least I have formally started a plan.

the new apple store

2019-03-19 Apple’s revamp of their retail setup has turned the Apple Store from a fun place to visit with friendly, helpful techs, into a not so fun place where the techs have been forcefully morphed into not so friendly or helpful sales driven reps. The sole purpose of the ex-Techs is to get your money and get you out of the store. They are not happy about the change and neither are the customers. See ZDNet post by Chris Matyszczyk titled How Apple Stores Changed for the Worse.
