A week ago at this time I was walking on Bourbon Street. Here is an album of pictures that I took during the trip.
Do people really read magazines still? I really don’t, even though I have dabbled with some of the ones available with my Amazon Prime membership. I’ve generally avoided the Apple News app, although I do see notifications from it.
My bracket of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament is sorta busted. I still have 3 of the 4 final four picks, but I have one whole region out. I am looking forward to seeing how Purdue does against Tennessee on Thursday and Michigan State against LSU on Friday.
Our current state can be traced to the early 90s, which happens to coincide with thinking originating at the Harvard Business School that CEO compensation should be tied to stock performance. The idea is that the best way to increase shareholder return is to create incentives tied to that return. Unfortunately, the idea is a theory that is proving to be false.
I agree with David Frum that liberals need to address the practical issues of immigration. However, it seems to me one thing we don’t consider is that what might be the best way to address the problem is to enable people to have a good life where they currently live. People who are well off in South America don’t take the risk of traveling thousands of miles to the United States, desperate people take that risk. Building a wall is not going to stop people from taking that risk. A wall is a band aid, not a solution.
The bracket is set for the 2019 NCAA men’s ice hockey tournament. I would like to see Ohio State, Minnesota State, Notre Dame, and Arizona State to make the Frozen Four.
Finished reading: The Universal Christ: How A Forgotten Reality Can Change Everything We See, Hope For, and Believe by Richard Rohr 📚
You will find my favorite quotes from this book at The Narthex.
It’s a glorious day, the warmest of the year so far. I’ve taken two walks so far.
I am really bummed to learn that Gmail is dropping support for IFTTT I do have a few IFTTT Gmail applets that I rely upon.
I followed these instructions to add swipe gestures to Chrome on Android to navigate forward and back.
My bracket survived the first day of the NCAA mens basketball tournament fairly well and no final four participants were upset.
I spent the last couple of days in New Orleans, but as fun as that was, I enjoy being home in my recliner watching hoops.
The new iPad Mini supports the original Apple Pencil, which I have and use with my current iPad Pro 10.5. The question is, can I have the original Apple Pencil paired to multiple iPads?
I have completed my bracket for this year’s NCAA men’s basketball tournament. I have Michigan State and Michigan meeting in the final four, with State winning again, but the Spartans lose to North Carolina in the final.
The bottle if KBS I am having tonight is better than the draft I had last night. I think the colder temperature is the difference.
I am feeling a bit nostalgic looking at posts I wrote on my blog five years ago when I was using Fargo. I miss Fargo, it was the perfecting writing and blogging tool.
Five years ago I wrote this devotion outline for a meeting of my church planning council. To read the devotion, expand the outline from the top down.
We went. I drank. The 2019 KBS is good but a bit too boozy.
Four bottles of KBS 2019 obtained thanks to notification from the Untappd app. Still hope to get a first taste via draft later tonight.
Only 14 days until the baseball season starts again. Go Cubs go!
