Kind: Notes

We have too much cloud cover for either John or I to tell whether or not it's sigificantly darker outside. John says he thinks it's darker than it should be though #Eclipse #Eclipse2024

Oh wow. We are apparently going to be able to view the eclipse on Monday at 3:20 in the afternoon. I have to admit I didn't think I was going to get to experience another one of these when I experienced the one in 2017 from South Carolina.

Get in Babkans, those of you on micro.blog, and other fedizens, we're doing Thursday.

Do we have to do Thursday? Can't we just cancel it? I mean it's almost Friday so why can't we just skip to that?

Get in Babkans, those of you on micro.blog, and other fedizens, we're doing Wednesday.

The laundry has been dropped off, so I have chores to do this afternoon along with work stuff. Also, it's flooding here.

I suppose I have to congratulate the White Socks for winning yesterday's game, since that's sportsmanlike, but I'm looking forward to today's game this afternoon in which my Braves will hopefully pay the White Socks back for the win. Go Braves!

This is the second time I've put my phone down and left it unlocked for an extended period of time and I think this is a sign that I need to walk away from the technology for today.

Get in Babkans, those of you on micro.blog, and other fedizens, we're doing Tuesday.

So far this morning, I've spilled coffee on my desk, which I mostly have cleaned up but I'm going to have to move some stuff to get the rest of it. It's still raining outside so no opening the windows today, but hopefully I'll be able to get stuff done today that isn't cleaning up messes and/or putting out fires.

Braves win! Braves win! Braves win! #MLB

John and I decided not to make ourselves suffer and we switched back to our book in order to avoid the rest of the trainwreck that was the rained-out broadcast. Also, we figure that the White Socks aren't coming back even if the rest of the game isn't just called off due to the rain.

So the Braves scored five minutes ago, and I just now got the MLB notification. That's a huge delay.

Mmmm afternoon baseball. Go Braves! #MLB #today

Happy Opening Day of Major League Baseball to all of us who are eagerly anticipating the games later today. Go Braves! and also, go Rays! #today #MLB

This whole Voice Dream subscription discussion is a perfect reminder of why we can't have nice things and also of why pretty much every single one-man development shop that starts out making things for the blind community eventually quits.

Get in Babkans, those of you on micro.blog, and other fedizens, we're doing Monday.

I'm currently drinking my second cup of coffee, breakfast has been consumed, and John and I are rereading the Camel Club series by David Baldacci. The Want To Read pile continues to grow, and otherwise I'll be getting as much work done as I can today. Pretty boring other than that.

Gonna be an early bedtime tonight.

Oh wow it's after 11 already.

Get in Babkans, those of you on micro.blog, and other fedizens, we're doing Monday.

First, I'd like to congratulate Mastodon on its latest milestone, at least according to the Mastodon User Count bot. I realize that there is a dispute about these numbers, and that they do not cover the entire fediverse, but congratulations nonetheless.

John and I are just doing various chores around the house, and we will be cooking some barbecue briscuit baked beans with lil smokes later on because it's something that gives us a few meals and we enjoy it.

Also, we're reading the Tony Lord series by Richard North Patterson. We haven't rendered a verdict yet.

Get in Babkans, those of you on micro.blog, and other fedizens, we're doing Sunday.

For my Christian friends, I hope you all have a meaningful Sunday. For the rest of us, including my atheist friends, I hope it's a fun or relaxing day, whichever one you would enjoy more.

John and I are just reading through the Rosato and dinunzio series by Lisa Scottoline. Breakfast has been consumed along with coffee, and John is taking a nap.

OK cool by all means crack down on junk fees, but while we're at it we should really look into doing something about the cost of tuition and books and student housing. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/03/15/fact-sheet-biden-harris-administration-takes-new-action-to-crack-down-on-junk-fees-in-higher-education/
