Man, the future of media is looking real bleak.

They upgraded Office at work and it brought back a function that was needlessly removed from the last version: the ability to delete emails from the notification. For whatever reason, that wasn't an option with the last version. Quickly and conveniently die, unnecessary emails, die!

The wife has a moderately older car that she's in no rush to get rid of. I stumbled across a way to update the firmware in her in-dash console and add a bunch of cool features. The main problem was I had to crack open her dashboard to do it. As of right now, everything is reassembled and I didn't kill the car's computer. Score!

"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."

Bundle up, friends and neighbors. It's about to get a bit nippy.

I haven't screwed up the year yet this year, but I'm sure it's coming.

We're supposed to get enough snow today that they already canceled school last night. Work might have done the same in the past, but as we're in a WFH world they'll likely just say WFH yo.

I was wondering if we were going to get snow at all this winter (something I didn't say aloud just in case), and it's decided to show up this week. I'm glad I worked from home today* so I could shovel 4 times so far because a shovel full of this stuff is roughly 300 pounds.

I was listening to a live recording of a podcast in my car and I noticed there was a weird feedback whine in the background. I thought, huh, you'd think the production team would've taken care of that. Eventually I wondered if it was closer to home, so I turned down the volume and realized it seemed to be coming from the air vents on the passenger side. Annoyed, my mind started considering possible fixes and/or estimated mechanic fees. However, shortly after, a potential solution presented itself: I gave that side of the dash a good whack. So far, so good. EEEEEeeeeee!
