January 9, 2025: Not-ofill

I refuse to use autofill. The software my company has chosen is honestly pretty good at finishing some of my sentences before I get there, but I still type it out to the bitter end. Forever!

      1. Up until a couple months ago I was a "Wilco not knower", but then through doing music leagues with some friends, I am now a Wilco hater so your ranks grow!

          1. I loved YHF. I also liked AM, Summerteeth, Mermaid Ave Vol 1 (though that might be more due to Bragg) and A Ghost Is Born. Nothing after that has really stuck with me, but maybe I just got old.

            1. I've definitely tapered off since Sky Blue Sky (which I also loved)

              YHF, A Ghost Is Born, SBS is a hell of a 3 album run, but so is AM, Being There, Summerteeth

              1. The last few Wilco albums have been somewhat somnolent but yeah what those above have said about YHF, AGIB, SBS. Plus AM, BT and Summerteeth.

                Live, some of those songs on the recent albums surprisingly really pop as jams however.

                But I'm not here to convince the haters, lord knows I don't like a bunch of the stuff I see on here. That's my favorite part about music: there's something for everyone and who we all enjoy really doesn't matter. Hike you own hike.

                1. I like Wilco (The Album) quite a bit, but yeah, I tapered off after that.

                  And for all the YHF fans out there, go in search of the alternative versions. I like some of them more than the originals, or at least greatly appreciate them.

  1. Most of the autofills I interact with are Outlook predicting the day of week or month I'm typing but it's already faster for me to finish typing than to notice, stop, and press the hotkey to accept the suggestion. However, I've noticed a few times it will fill in a full phrase and I have to wonder if this is a phrase common to everyone or I use it enough to have trained Outlook.

  2. Somewhere in the last couple weeks (but couldn’t find it) I thought I saw folks were posting amusing encounters or serendipitous connections with the famous.
    Anywho…I just had Shake Shack with (next to) Cam Newton at the Newark airport. He’s as identifiable as much by his style as by his face. I acknowledged him with a nod but went no further. I didn’t see anybody else being dinguses about him. The HudsonNews lady across the way was having a silly fangirl moment from afar with the security guy over that way.
