I thought I'd give a shoutout for making my life easier. I wiped my Mac because I wanted a fresh start and all my important stuff is on iCloud. Thanks to Backblaze, even dumb little things like Firefox Bookmarks and SSH Config are easy to restore.

Went in thinking we’d spend a pile of cash for a nice office chair. Left with wallet still mostly full. officedepot.com/a/products/493
I just realized I now have to shave *more* now that I WFH because more people will see my unmasked face. Yet I still fully dress as if I’m going out to work. Except today is shorts day due to unseasonably warm weather.

It's real now. One hour of orientation down, many more to go.

I haven't heard this answered, nor through my weak search skills: #ask1password, how safe is it to use 1Password (extension or web version) on a company laptop or school Chromebook? I always treat those devices as if I have no privacy.

3) Final one to because my daughter uses their search engine on her school Chromebook. Apparently the only student ever witnessed by one of her teachers doing so. Bonus shout-out to the multitude of her school's staff who also #AskTheDuck.

2) A shout-out to as I transition the same wife away from Gee-you-still-use-them-Mail? Now her email is actually private.

I figure I'll do a few shout-outs: 1) Inspired by , I spent a morning with my wife getting her all set up on . So much for those re-used passwords. The kids were already fully on board.

I didn’t realize that Jack would celebrate my Twitterversary by stepping down.
I stumbled on an interview with Frank Goossens where he starts the interview with three chickens, and by the end of the interview, he's down to two. Everything in between is worth the read.

I like how SFGATE says *this* is the year Disneyland finally prices out their loyal fans. I hear that every time Disney raises admission prices, and it has yet to shrink the crowds. The SFGATE article even says households with income between 25-75K are most likely to attend. Huh?
And while he was under the house, I should have had him run Cat5 (or whatever it was at the time) everywhere as well. Yes, WiFi is nifty, but there's gotta be hard wiring *somewhere*…especially for access points.

As I play with more IoT things, I simultaneously want to kick myself for not having the electrician run Neutral to all light switch boxes during the rewiring, and wonder why it didn't even cross my mind. Though it's been about 14 years and maybe it wasn't "a thing" back then.

I'm proud of my boy for taking the initiative to move beyond his iPod's 4-digit PIN to the custom alphanumeric code. And running it by just to see if it was decent. First try netted 22 breaches.
What a wonderful day!

What’s the difference between ProtonMail and Gmail? We'll let the iOS privacy labels speak for themselves.
Well, this is a first for me. Thanks (the smokin' hot Blocksy WordPress theme) and (my go-to for fancy blocks).

Ohhh...Mandalorian. I should probably binge watch both seasons for anything I missed.
Our home phone number, which is just a voicemail box, is getting absolutely hammered today by spoofed local prefix calls. About twenty so far.

I've never seen a phishing campaign use first class mail before. But there's always a first.

Oh, and I also donated to the PiHole people because it's awesome. First, Ubiquiti gear, now this. I need to unsubscribe from all things Troy and Helme.

After listening to and go on about the , I was excited to not have to spend any money because I already have an underutilized . And now I've ordered a Raspberry Pi Zero W for redundancy. 😡

Is it just me, or does X not work in Firefox under Big Sur? I've installed it and even enabled it to work in private windows, but clicking on the icon in the browser bar does nothing. I can't find anywhere that would show me errors or warnings.

Now I can justify buying an armload of ice cream. benjerry.com/whats-new/2020
I’ve been avoiding social media for the past week. I finally feel unstressed enough to return. This week’s good news should help carry me through anything for at least the next four years.

Update: I didn’t screw it up. 👍

Hold my beer. I’m about to fill in my ballot with black indelible ink. And then walk it up to my library’s official drop off box. I’m sure I can manage this.

To all my WordPress buddies, are Plugin downloads taking *forever* for you? It's snail's pace at my servers and at home.

I was thinking about donating a dollar to for every lie 🍊🤡 said in the debates. After last night, I realized how broke I’d be. Sent a fixed amount instead.

As a Californian, I know that and will not approve a new Supreme Court justice until is President.
My wife's boss dropped off two AC5350B air purifiers because he knew the smoke was affecting us. That was super thoughtful (almost a one hour drive each way) and much appreciated. Yes, they're working great!

It looks like tomorrow is OS upgrade day. Yes, bleeding edge can cut, but I have a lot of band-aids.
OMG! Touch ID built in to the top button on an iPad. I hope it works its way to iPhones.
Well…it looks like I'm already paying Apple One Premier level fees for my current subscriptions. Not sure if Premier is Family enabled as well.

I was going to wait for to tell me ten more times to sign up to be a poll worker before I was convinced he was serious, but that's probably going to take at least five days and I couldn't wait. I guess my city is full, so we'll see where I end up (<5 miles, please).

Wow, *someone* in Europe has a lot of highways. I can tell they're not done yet because the north still has a lot of relatively big empty patches.

I was going to take the family for a local-ish getaway (from the smoke), but spent the morning painter's taping window gaps instead for a more enjoyable indoor experience. And lidded the chimney (no, we don't use our fireplace, and it has no damper; yes, it's an old house).
