I’m heading off on a week’s vacation and looking forward to it. Hoping to be able to get a jump on this year’s book list. I’ve got quite a few candidates which I’ll list out later.

This is the ninth book in the ‘Slow Horses’ series. I enjoyed it but it is not as good as the others in the series.

Another Craig Johnson book. Love his style of writing and I enjoyed the story.

Note that the cover is wrong. Netflix dropped the show and Paramount picked it up.

The Italian campaign was just absolutely brutal. This book outlines this up until the capture of Rome. The fight for Cassino was just two forces bashing their heads together with the resulting casualties. Terrible.

This came up because I won the NCAA tourney bracket with the boys in 2024. Still applies…

We’ve got an old Ultracade Arcade Legends cabinet that died a few years ago. These are old (2005 is this machines vintage I think) PC based machines with a CRT in a really nice cabinet. When I got it I also got the installation CD, USB stick and the manual.

I couldn’t find those items for the life of me. Looked everywhere… except the place where they were actually filed away….god forbid…even organized.

I think it’s just the hard drive that needs replacing. I’ll see if I can get a solid state stick and use that too get this thing up and running again.

When I need to take my laptop with me somewhere I get this message a lot. All I’m trying to do is eject the disk. Why is Safari using it?

Good grief, was Pete Buttigieg holding the entire airline industry together himself? This is what happens when you staff the government with unqualified cronies—we’re less safe under Trump.

Yikes. I had forgotten about the Apple feature ‘Universal Control’ until today when I ‘lost’ my mouse cursor and then saw it moving on the iPad. Cool feature if not a little confusing at first 🙂
