Oh hi there. New GPU, who dis?

Finally! Took delivery today.

I think most of the streaming services let you download tracks for "offline" listening, so if you already subscribe to one that is what i'd check first.

Is this a dark, country cover of Wang Chung? Why, yes! Yes it is!

Yup!

Machine Gun Kelly - Tickets To My Downfall Yeah.... I'm surprised this is as good as it is. Travis Barker produced it and you can really hear that Blink-182 influence. Some of these tracks are pretty slick.

@Hopstretch looks like our girl was on Seth Meyers last night!

Happy birthday, gentlemen!

I'm really sad the see the devastation these latest Napa and Sonoma County fires are causing. A lot of places I know are getting hit and I hope all the people made it out ok.

I've been digging my teeth into Wasteland 3 and having an amazing time. A modern take on an old school-style RPG in the vein of the old Fallouts and Baldur's Gate games set in post-apocalyptic Colorado. I'm about 10-15 hours in. Highly recommended, and it is on Games Pass so free to check it out if you are already a subscriber.

Happy birthday, Jim!

The one thing I'd chime in with that differs from the advice offered so far is that, having just upgraded to 4k myself a few weeks ago, 4k at 200% scaling in windows looks amazing! Text is razor sharp in office apps, and I'm sure it wouldn't hurt in photo/video apps either. Running a 4k laptop at native resolution is insane, but doing 200% scaling is really nice. Everything is the same size as a "normal" 1080p screen, it just looks better and is rendered with twice the pixels. Good luck with the purchase!

Condolences, Jose and Jeff.

RIP, Justice Ginsberg. One of my favorite law school professors was best friends with her husband, Marty. Both of the Ginsbergs sounded like amazing people. A trailblazing jurist who did things the right way. She will be missed.

Happy birthday, Andrew!

Dum Dum Girls - Only in Dreams

I was able to open the windows last night and air my place out. Today there is <100AQI air all over the bay area. It feels amazing to be able to spend time outside and see blue sky for the first time in a week.

One more funny tidbit I learned while talking to a co-worker today: if you really love a hotel chain's bed, say the Marriott, Ritz, Four Seasons, etc. all of them are happy to sell their exact bed setups to you online. I don't travel enough (especially this year) to really have any particular affinity, but for the the gentleman or lady who can't get over how well they slept on a work trip or vacation then you can have that experience at home. I thought that was kind of cool.

Happy birthday, John!

Last weekend was the bed, this weekend is the linens. I did a dumb thing and went to the fancy bedding store and tried stuff a bunch of stuff blind without knowing what it cost. Ouch. This is head-case.

The ash "snowning" from the skies has you feeling festive? 🙃

Hail to the chief.

Yeah, this is so fucking weird. It is as dark here as 45 minutes or so after sunset... only it is 10:30AM.

Might want to shut your windows and doors, bay area friends!
