Rush - Tom Sawyer

I finally took the plunge and replaced Windows with Ubuntu Linux on my late father-in-law's HP laptop, and I have to say that so far, I am really enjoying the experience.

After a few days of running Ubuntu 22.04 LTS on an underpowered HP laptop, I decided to switch to Linux Mint because I'd read that it performs very well on such machines. So I installed it today, and it's true! Much snappier and smoother. I like it a lot!

Happy New Year #RushFamily

Finally finished watching the fourth and (sadly) final season of "Sex Education" on Netflix. Bummed that it's over, but grateful that it existed. Happy it made stars of Ncuti Gatwa (the new Doctor Who!) and Emma Mackey as well.

WTF? Since when do we have earthquakes in New Jersey?!?!

So happy that "Dr. K," the great Dwight Gooden, is getting his number 16 retired at Citi Field today.

Still trying to process the fact that we are now living in a post-Say Hey Kid world. R.I.P. Willie Mays, arguably the greatest all-around player in the history of Major League Baseball.

Contemplating the purchase of Beats or Raycon earbuds because AirPods just don't like to stay in my ears. Any recommendations, pros & cons, etc?

It's my birthday! "I'm old enough not to care too much About what you think of me - But I'm young enough To remember the future And the way things ought to be..." Rush, "Cut to the Chase" (Lyrics by Neil Peart)

when people say “why do you waste your time reading stories about witches and dragons and whatnot when you could be reading important things?” the answer is because I think it’s important to read about witches and dragons.

Women in Afghanistan are singing to protest the Taliban’s new “morality decree”. This decree is yet another brazen attack on human rights and must be immediately revoked.

Best drummer ever! Long Live Neil Peart!

Amazon is finally releasing a color Kindle e-reader device at the end of the month, and I’m here for it. It’s about time, frankly. Pre-ordering tomorrow!

Why, oh why, am I so damned tempted by hardcover 'deluxe editions' with 'beautiful sprayed edges?'

I love my M4 MacBook Air (16 GB unified memory / 512GB SSD), but even so, I'm kind of obsessed with the MacBook Neo. I mean, who ever imagined that $600 - $700 MacBook could be a thing? It's just really cool and intriguing to me.

"Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow" is one of the best things I've ever read. Now I'm even more excited for the upcoming "Supergirl" movie.

Seriously considering an indigo MacBook Neo exclusively for writing.
