    Vaccine Dreams

    September 10, 2022 - By 

    At approximately 1020am this morning, I was sitting in a CVS Pharmacy getting a Moderna Covid19 bivalent booster vaccine, along with a flu shot. Within 3 hours, I was having the weirdest, semi-conscious, somewhat lucid dream of my life. I may be needing tea and sympathy tomorrow if, by some reports, the second day is the kicker. Because we’re Team Moderna here, I had been looking at the various pharmacy sites ever since the new boosters were approved by the CDC, trying to find Moderna vaccine available near me. Once again I had to go pretty far afield to find…

    Homescapes: Time Suck, Coin Suck, Energy Suck, Yet I Can’t Stop Playing

    August 21, 2022 - By 

    Homescapes is a video game for smartphones and tablets that’s designed to remove money from your wallet, time from your day, and you from engagement with everything else that’s going on in your life. It’s a match-3 type of game, very similar to Bejeweled (which I used to like a lot) or Candy Crush. It has levels to pass, and to break up the repetitiveness, it’s also an exploration, makeover, redesign game. There are periodic events where you compete head to head, within your team, or against other teams. There are also “seasons” lasting about 4 weeks where you are…

    New iPhone, Who Dis?

    August 21, 2022 - By 

    It’s been a long time since I logged in to write a new blog post… Some things have changed, some things remain the same. It’s unchanged that when I get frustrated, I ragequit or stop doing something to make the frustration go away. So when WordPress for example, has big changes, I don’t want to even start my desktop, laptop, iPad, or iPhone to start a post. If it’s frustrating, I tweet, because gratification must not be delayed. I got a new iPhone recently… this is frustrating because Apple and I have a history. A history where I have an…

    The Only Time Democrats Pay Attention To Rural America Is Before The Iowa Caucuses. That’s BS.

    The only way for the party to regain traction in rural places is by running strong campaigns in districts that usually back Republicans. — Read on www.nytimes.com/2022/05/02/opinion/democrats-rural-america.html The future of America depends on young organizers connecting with rural voters. We liberals have forgotten the maxim: “All politics are local.”

    I may dabble in mask making again… singing without a mask is too damn risky

    May 1, 2022 - By 

    Masks for singers: design specializations for breathability, filtration, fit and acoustics based on the science of singing, particles & COVID. — Read on makermask.org/constructing-masks-for-singers/amp/ Someone at church contracted Covid during Holy Week; we’ve relaxed mask requirements, but now that seems risky. Especially for those of us in the choir, and though we have “singers’ masks,” they’re not very good. Meanwhile, infection rates are trending upward, a young family member tested positive, and an older family member has an upper respiratory infection (not Covid). It seems to me that we’ll see a summer spike as people attend large events – we’re…
