24 years is a good long haul, longer than my time in Austin. It’s little anniversaries like this that make me feel my age. They make me look back across the timeline for visions, sounds, emotions, vignettes of events, among the chaotic threads of change.
Here’s to many, oh so many more.
P. Shivers is the best band name ever. No idea what they sound like.
The Monday of Surprises.
After a speed test showed my cable modem wasn’t up to snuff, I bought a new modem. The front panel LEDs are green and blue. How blue?
I can barely see the green. It’s so overpowered.
And then, last night, I came home to this ridiculousness. BLUE.
My god, it’s like the glowing Cherenkov Radiation in the water around the core of a nuclear reactor. I’m going to grow a third arm at this rate.
B. L. U. E.
I’m issuing a fatwah on every product designer that puts bright blue LEDs in every consumer device. Stop. Please, stop.
Addendum to the previous post:
My music domain glassdoor.net has finally been transferred to the new registrar. The issue was apparently on the destination side. I filed a support request for someone to take a look and it was resolved within 30 minutes. Seems the transfer got stuck at a specific stage of the state machine and would not budge unless someone intervened. All it took was a little prayer to the right deity to undo the latch and let gravity take over.
I had faith in the laws of nature. But it took an irrational belief in supertechnological intervention and a cry to the tech support heavens to heal a broken heart.
