I have created a knowledge base outline about Crostini containers in anticipation of the arrival of my new Chromebook.
I don’t listen to podcasts since I stopped commuting to work. I do watch TWiT shows during my lunch breaks. When I walk I prefer to keep my ears unplugged so that I can hear nature and my surroundings.
Hey my friends who grew up in the ’80s, here is the 1981 Sears Wish Book to bring back some memories!
Rams and Chiefs offense appear to be playing at a whole other level than the rest of the league. 🏈
The Appointments Clause, Article II, Section 2, Clause 2 of the United States Constitution. The Oath of the POTUS is in Article II, Section 1.
One thing I truly believe, you cannot go forward by going backward.
We are all sick here in the McPherson homestead. It started with me on Friday and then my wife on Saturday. Might be a Charle Brown Thanksgiving.
Took this with the Pixel Night Sight mode. No flash. Pryety amazing. The feature is buried under More in the camera app. Sorry for the clutter 🤷♂️
The Academy Is Largely Itself Responsible for Its Own Peril - The Chronicle of Higher Education
It’s not about being published, it’s about the desire to constantly be writing. It’s such a strongly felt need that if it was something socially maladaptive it would be considered a vice.
I so relate to this, and if you follow any of my blogs you likely agree.
I’ve updated my article that explains the decision making process I am going through to decide which computer I am going to buy. Pixelbook is leaped ahead and the Lenovo Yogo C630 has fallen behind.
Josh Farrant has created a Javascript library for creating iOS 12 Shortcuts.
Spark only allows me to create reminders for outgoing email. I wish I could create a reminder for mail that is in my Inbox. While I can snooze that email, it just re-appears and I don’t see a notification. I am now trying the alert part of snooze to see if that works. Update: I did find that turning alert on triggers a notification that fires at the time of the snooze. If you go in to Settings, Scheduling, Snoozes and enable Default Alert then I think alerts will be on by default. If there is something important I will either dump in to Reminders or Noteplan.
Looks like there is a way to run Windows apps on Chromebooks. I’ve written about my plans to buy a new Chromebook that will support the Google Play store and Linux apps, so I expect I could run Windows apps using this method. However, I can’t think of a Windows app that I will really need.
I mostly blog for myself, thinking of it as a form of diary. I look back to what I wrote in the past to see where I’ve been and what I was thinking.
Looking back to last year, I realize how much I like the consolidation of my non-titled posts do a header for each day.
Aaron Rodgers has been playing hurt and there isn’t enough talent on the offense to help pick him up a bit. I expect that if the Packers lose a couple more games to be completely eliminated from the playoffs, Rodgers will go on IR.
The real downside is that all the injuries provide an excuse to keep Mike McCarthy.
Today is World Pancreatic Cancer Day. Take a few minutes to learn more about pancreatic cancer. Chances are high that you are going to have cancer, and just about everyone knows someone who has or has had cancer. It is worth learning as much as you can about cancer and its symptoms.
What is the Constitutional definition of the press?

I am @frankm@frankmcpherson.blog on Mastodon. Not sure what that means.
I’m watching the All About Android podcast in which they are talking about the Samsung foldable screen and they’re talking about it in terms of a foldable phone. I wonder whether we should really be thinking about this as a foldable tablet rather than phone?
Corporate welfare at its finest. The true overlords of the United States. And the overlords will use the money taxpayers provide to pay off politicians who support them over the taxpayers. (see Citizens United)
