Pretty sure that I'm not going to renew Overcast this fall. The updated price is $15 and I'm not a fan of the new interface. On the other hand it does have a complete record of episodes that I've listened to. It's probably worth exploring my options in the meantime.

I had the weirdest glitch happen with Overcast when I got out of my car today. I was listening to the Spokane Soccer Show podcast and it just stopped. I checked the app and the episode I was listening to no longer even showed up in the feed. It was like I had imagined the whole thing and it was from an alternate reality. It became available again once I got to my desk and had decent wifi.

Just had a wild triple post glitch. Very weird.

Got to work and realized I'd forgotten my M4 mini at at home. I have other macs I can work on here so it's not a problem, but taking me a few minutes longer to find my groove.

If they put Trump's face on Mt. Rushmore it's time to blow the whole thing up.

Listened to The Paper Menagerie by Ken Liu on LeVar Burton Reads and what an amazing, emotionally devastating story.

Cleaned out and vacuumed our grill thoroughly today. The whole thing caught on fire the last time Mary barbecued because of all the buildup.
🍏 MAR 29 2025 13:24
Mary finally updated her iPhone to iOS 18 and absolutely hates all the superficial changes that came with it like dark mode icons.
🎙 MAR 28 2025 13:03
Going through the first several episodes of the LeVar Burton Reads back catalog has been amazing! I really hope It's Storytime with Wil Wheaton has enough success to have a long run of its own.

Raining pretty hard on my office window. Thinking about getting some coffee.

Won the Super League by about five points in my 7th season of Bang Average Football. Don't feel close to mastering the game yet though. That was strictly on Medium mode as well.

Spicy Dill Pickle Goldfish Crisps are surprisingly good!

Helped Houston get his Arena Direct winnings properly shipped. Two Duskmourn draft boxes on the ways to our house shortly.

Ange's future at Spurs being in serious doubt is not new news, but it's funny to me that it's all over the media today. I think he's done short of winning the Europa League.
☀️ MAR 27 2025 08:25
Yesterday's high of 75° F broke a 144-year-old record for March in Spokane. As much as I enjoy that level of warmth in March, it's what that trend translates to in June, July, and August that worries me. Also, our poor fluffy furry pups were panting so much yesterday.
🎶 MAR 27 2025 08:12
Listing to some Throno Crigger this morning after realizing they had at least one Breakbeat Heartbeat collab yesterday.
🎙 MAR 26 2025 15:21
I'm also going to start working my way through Levar Burton Reads because Wil was directly inspired by his friend to take up the mantle.
🎙 MAR 26 2025 15:13
Enjoyed the first It's Storytime with Wil Wheaton: Rock, Paper, Scissors, Love, Death by Caroline Yoachim. As a lifelong Spokanite I was particularly tickled that a Greyhound bus trip from Seattle to Spokane figured prominently in the story.
☀️ MAR 26 2025 14:25
71° F right now. I wonder if I can convince the girls to go for a run after I get home from work.
🥱 MAR 26 2025 14:12
Fading in the afternoon once again. Time for some cocoa I think.

Didn't realize 2019 MacBook Airs that can run Sonoma can't run Sequoia natively. Kind of a weird outlier in that regard.
⚽️🎮 MAR 26 2025 09:15
Despite my issues in the Minnow League absolutely sailed thought the Adequate League in Season 5. Finished with 37 out of a possible 42 league points, but annoyed that I ended up with a loss and 2 draws. My star striker, Madelena, had 20 goals for the season!
🚙 MAR 26 2025 09:09
I've been doing a ton of drives with my younger son over the last couple of weeks and I'm completely confident in his driving ability. He should have passed his first driving test, but a repeated small (but important!) mistake killed his score.
🥱 MAR 25 2025 12:23
Post-lunch sleepiness hitting me today. Might need a freshly ground cup of coffee soon.
⚽️🎮 MAR 25 2025 09:08
It took four seasons, but I finally won the Minnow League in Bang Average Football last night with a draw in the final match of the season. If I'd lost my opponent would have been champs!
