Amazon once prompted me to reorder mics because "I might be running out." Tonor has been my budget go-to USB brand. TC-777 then TC30. More reliable & compatible than anything else I tried. Weird platform? Works. Older mac OR pc? Works. USB adapter/hub? Works. Makes a good backup to better mics. https://shiitake.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:tbr4cunn6r4hox73ybzjfwt3&cid=bafkreid5pnzz7bpjz3ovqps7pfrrdqrid6wowjascink6bvnqbltlk4mty

TIL google now just throws things into a "lost and found" folder when it can't sync something?

15 minute walk outside is my minimum goal per day. Park, street, sun, air, light rain even if I can’t get anything else. Whatever but outside as much as possible until I get to swim again. But it’s nice when there’s something to photograph too (walked 30 min at a park today.) Back to the computer. https://shiitake.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:tbr4cunn6r4hox73ybzjfwt3&cid=bafkreihdlatyf6fvl6ujgttgl4r5vaqzx3rk7hz6iwoybcofwvtc2h35ra

Random desk view from 2023 🥃 This is not the only time things looked like this. I need to remember what was going on in this specific photo. If it was samples or something else. I know one of those bottles was a barrel pick for an event. https://shiitake.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:tbr4cunn6r4hox73ybzjfwt3&cid=bafkreif35yn4hwea3a5djjk3a7g363wqgr6evix6raoxu2pkrnbznod6ry

Photo sorting again & 2020 was chaotic. I bought extra older used macs that year for events. Launch 4 events at once? Solved. Presenter's car broken into & their computer stolen? Solved. Presenter's desktop turns off unexpectedly? Solved. I had such short timelines for solving some things. https://shiitake.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:tbr4cunn6r4hox73ybzjfwt3&cid=bafkreihaurvhsqlpdmqcpatjxqxoqxy5ddnzzu3ryb66bn66fngjpd6vci

I get so many spam/scam texts that I sometimes am REALLY tempted to respond: "liar liar scam on fire." One just claimed I had talked to them previously about business financing. I have never talked to anyone ever about business financing.

Nothing like a group chat 1st thing upon waking reminding you that you haven't had a beach vacation in over a decade. "Leave this conversation" should include the 3 person group texts. I didn't opt in so why must there be 4 people in order to opt out? Time to give "hide alerts" a try.

Extra tired. I think I figured out the compromise to not doing some Mother’s Day dinner at an overcrowded restaurant where I will inevitably end up sick was to offer to bring cocktails to their patio post dinner. I think I don’t end up sick after 🥃 events because I don’t stay in one place long.

I finally bit the bullet and bought some hardware (door & drawer handles) for furniture that's been missing them for ... 6 years with us but missing before I bought them. Time has no meaning ...

“Stole” my own device that usually lives in the virtual event studio … I should have done this earlier. Adding keywords to metadata in event photos is SO much faster. https://shiitake.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:tbr4cunn6r4hox73ybzjfwt3&cid=bafkreieawv2hmwdygmrx2vkzl7wvxbb6wahscbzbsvl7shjvstr6wimsey
