My dad has always been something of a handyman, which he got from his dad. Over the years, he’d helped my uncle on his farm with so many little odds and ends that my uncle started calling him “Bob,” after Bob the Builder.
It’s still kinda funny to hear my uncle call him that, as if it’s his given name. 🤣
Back at the end of 1997, I bought in to a local Mac consulting business. My partner and mentor, Damion, had created mousepad-style coasters as a means of free advertising/client reminders. We each carried a little bucket of these in our cars so we could grab a handful when needed to leave with clients/potential clients.
I arrived at my parents’ house last night, they still have three of them. ❤️
The whole device authorization fiasco for one’s Apple Music (viz: iTunes) account, where one cannot actually see anywhere a list of devices authorized, is totally unacceptable.
Instead you have to deauthorize all devices, then re-authorize them one by one. Beyond ridiculous.
And in 2025, why is there even a limit on the number of devices?
And yes, there is a MOO ticker symbol, another agribusiness EFT. The number one holding for MOO is John Deere, and if that’s not on brand, I don’t know what would be.
Okay, well done, people behind the Pacer US Cash Cows 100 ETF.
The ticker symbol is COWZ. 🤣
Happy new Stryper music day! The band released a single, “Still the Light,” from their upcoming Christmas album. Great lyric video!
Can we talk about how sublimely great Mike Myers’ performance in Inglourious Basterds is? The scene with him and Michael Fassbender (and Rod Taylor as Churchill) is one of my favorites in the whole film.
There’s a new episode of the Empowered Parent Podcast out, and it’s a short Q&A episode. We answer a listener question about food hoarding, which, unfortunately, is a common problem for children who have experienced trauma.
I don’t like giving props to a competitor, but I saw this piece last night on BlackRock launching an ETF focused solely on Texas companies, and have to acknowledge the excellent job with the ticker symbol of TEXN.
GEAUXMAHA!! It’s a great day for baseball in our household! Eight is great! #GeauxTigers #ForeverLSU
