🗓 Microcosm - 2024 Feb 1-7

I'm at 2 and 2 so far and had some pretty unfavorable draws in my first Premier Draft of Murders at Karlov Manor but I picked up roughly 14 rares and a mythic so it's all gravy at this point.
🧙♂️ FEB 07 2024 10:27
Got my first taste of Murders at Karlov Manor yesterday through the Midweek Magic Jumpstart. Had bad luck and ended up with a three color pile but still managed to get my three wins in. The mechanics seem cool and I'll probably start a Premier Draft tonight.

Connected some dots on John and Hank Green this morning. I vaguely knew of them as internet famous figures, but I had never watched a vlogbrothers video or specifically consumed any of their creative output until today. Totally bizarre in retrospect because they're clearly my kind of people. Excited to be able to explore their back catalog for the first time though.

I didn't realize that Planetary had pivoted to Nostr last year because of the complexities and design limitations of the SSB protocol. In my experience SSB is simultaneously cool and obnoxious- the computer-centric nature and one device per identity limitation is going to be a deal breaker for most people.

Successfully cleared 20K email out of my gmail inbox today, actually saved some worthwhile emails in the process, and spent less than an hour doing it.

Blue Sky opened to the public today. I've had an account for quite a while and check in periodically but still don't use it very much, but I'm more likely to as more people come on board.

My out of control Gmail inbox is starting to bug me so making an archiving and deletion pass.

Another damp and foggy February day that's entirely above freezing throughout. I don't mind it but it's weird.

Dash started working again a couple seconds after starting the car for my drive home. Think I'm going to order LED replacement bulbs for the instrument panel and change those to get comfortable with disassembling the dash. That will also give me a chance to inspect the condition of the connector I suspect first hand.
🚙 FEB 05 2024 11:03
The other thing I can do while working on my dashboard is replace all the instrument lights with modern LEDs. It's a cheap and easy replacement and will be a nice improvement.

Looks like I'm going to have to break down and finally do some soldering repair work on my Honda Element's instrument console. It's a common issue with multiple YouTube videos and mine has been flaky for years but it usually starts working again after driving a while. Unfortunately it stopped working early yesterday afternoon and hasn't worked since.

Finally confirmed that my work MacBook can still drive an external display even though the built-in one no longer works. Now I'm going to run updates and see how it behaves after that. The weird thing is that the backlight clearly still works too.

SMC 64 - 62 GU FT The ending of this game has been a complete debacle for GU, all the fans throwing garbage on the floor when they don't like the calls, and the officials who have missed multiple calls at the end of the game.

SMC 29 - 30 GU 2:41 Zags looking pretty ragged on offense and SMC starting to click.
🏀 FEB 03 2024 20:00
SMC 7 - 14 GU 12:13 now that Tennessee and Kentucky finally wrapped up.
🏀 FEB 03 2024 19:42
Watching the end of Tennessee at Kentucky while I wait for the Zags - SMC game. Vols had the game well in hand until I started watching but I think they're probably safe now as they've been able to keep it at a 9 point margin for a couple minutes.

Confirmed today with a little bit of internet research that TJ Scott, the coach of Metlakatla in Alaskan Nets, is from Waitsburg in southeastern Washington State. They didn't really delve into his backstory but my ears perked up when he mentioned Waitsburg in passing when talking about places he considered home. I also noticed him wearing a Gonzaga t-shirt at one point.

Duplication bug strikes again but I actually saw it happen in real-time for once and it definitely wasn't a mobile specific scenario as I was on my Mac desktop.

Using Apple Vision Pro: What It's Actually Like!
⚽️ FEB 02 2024 10:15
Realized Paramount+ has the Asia Cup broadcast just in time to see South Korea defeat Australia 2 - 1 at the 121'. Sonny had a huge free kick goal earlier that I did see the clip on.

It took Apple about three years to get from the iPod to the iPod Mini. How long will it take Apple to get from Vision Pro to the Vision equivalent?
🍏 FEB 02 2024 08:13
Thinking about ramping up my Apple - tech sphere podcast listening rotation again in anticipation of all the Vision Pro related news and reviews. I'm interested in the product and its potential but until it's refined into its "iPod Mini" incarnation with a price and configuration that regular users can afford I can't get too excited.

Briefly pulled up the GU women playing at USD when I saw it was on ESPN+. Zags were dominating but the lack of fans in the Slim Gym for a Top-25 opponent (and apparently breast cancer awareness game based on the USD pink unis) was embarrassing. The average high school girls game has more fans than I saw there.

Lucas Bergvall to Spurs is go according to Fabrizio Romano. Signs Friday and come to Spurs in the summer.

Sounds like Bryan Gil is going to stay at Tottenham through the end of the season despite all the loan links.

So we've reached February without a unified Mac Office365 16.81 release. Very curious to see from a release cadence what that means for 16.82.
⚽️ FEB 01 2024 07:33
Spurs potential Lucas Bergvall signing is interesting (thanks Brexit!) because he doesn't turn 18 until a day after the transfer window closes. So it's very much a deal for the summer by all accounts.

Not sure what happened to the thumbnail on my latest AxodysFC video. I did create and upload one yesterday but it seems to have gone missing and I don't have access to the computer the original is on right now.
