ProtoArc XK03 Ergonomic Foldable Keyboard User Manual

April 7, 2025 - By ginny

Post: About a year ago, I picked up this useful little folding ergonomic Bluetooth keyboard, the Seenda KTU-403. But it’s apparently been discontinued, and some of the multifunction keys are starting to spit out weird characters. Fortunately, I’ve stumbled on to some weird key combos so that I can keep using them – they aeem to have different emulator settings or something. Meanwhile, can’t find the manual, scuffled into a drawer or online. Fortunately, after searching for the model number, the manual for a very similar product popped up, probably made by the same manufacture under another marque. So hokay,…

Time To Be Reality-Based! OG Bloggers, Assemble!

January 22, 2025 - By ginny

I'm listening to the Bob Cesca podcast, featuring Driftglass and Bluegal from the Professional Left Podcast, and feeling inspired to dust off my old #realitybased blog and Say Something. Because back when the Blogosphere was a thing, one result was arguably the election of Barack Obama.

Today’s Announcement of a New Twitter Policy May Be Even More Terrifying Than This Week’s Mass Suspension of Journalists Was—Yes, Really / Post.

December 17, 2022 - By ginny

On Twitter, a new algorithm will allow far-right trolls to band together en masse—something they have already been shown to have done repeatedly and systematically over the last 24 months—to make the tweets of Twitter Blue–verified left-leaning accounts disappear from public visibility permanently simply by muting or blocking them. — Read on post.news/article/2J3AloOm0Fho4H1A0YFAy9nU3fS

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

August 21, 2022 - By ginny

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 ginny

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…

Sorry About The Mess: Trump Wrecking World Economy

Post: He’s nuts if he thinks manufacturers will move to the US; they like paying rock bottom non-union wages and they’ll pass the higher costs to American consumers. Lose-lose! What can possibly go wrong?

Since he lives in his own bubble universe, I’m wondering how long his big donors, the few relatively sane conservatives in Congress, and his “IKEA cabinet” will hold out until the murmurs behind the scenes become screaming fights in the Oval Office.

Spine of steel? Nope. Skull of rock.

Global economy rocked again as rates on imports to the US from dozens of trading partners rose further, with China hit by 104% tariffs

Now Listening: Joni Mitchell | Black Crow

Text:

”Black Crow - There's a crow flying Black and ragged Tree to tree He's black as the highway that's leading me Now he's diving down To pick up on something shiny I feel like that black crow Flying In a blue sky I took the ferry to the highway Then I drove to a pontoon plane I took a plane to a taxi And a taxi to a train I've been traveling so long How'm I ever gonna know my home When I see it again I'm like a black crow flying In a blue blue sky In search of love and music My whole life has been Illumination Corruption And diving diving diving diving Diving down to pick up on every shiny thing Just like that black crow flying In a blue sky I looked at the morning After being up all night I looked at my haggard face in the bathroom light I looked out the window And I I saw that ragged soul take flight I saw a back crow flying In a blue sky Oh I'm like a black crow flying In a blue sky”

Living On Blue Island In Lake Illinois

A local bike riding friend remarked today that he feels like he’s living on a blue island. I made sure he sees this.

”JB Pritzker trolled the president on Friday by claiming he planned to rename Lake Michigan as Lake Illinois and annex Green Bay.”
