What Are You Doing Right Now
-
I find myself rather unhappy when I don't have a podcast to listen to. The radio is just boring - and sure I could buy into a music service to curate more toward my musical desires - but really at this point I'd just much rather listen to talk/podcast type radio.
Just this morning I was wondering if I should get an audible account and start listening to books on tape for those times I don't have a podcast to listen to.

Road Maintenance season is in full effect. Three different crews on three different roads (county, state, and town) going to be a fun August. On the upside I discovered that the NYC NPR station now has a local relay so I can listen to it while waiting.
Now there is some excitement. Maybe consider a podcast?
I enjoy NPR for the most part... I wish the presenters were a bit more emotive... Prior to now I was listening to a gaming podcast on my way in to work.
I like it, but anything on live radio wears on me. I have NPR highlights on my Echo.

I spend ~1 hour in the car a day. So I go through podcasts like crazy. I will have to pick these up again.
A big one for me is the Prairie Home Companion podcast. Only once a week but excellent.

Audible is one of the best things ever. I've had a platinum account for about a decade now and it is one of my all time best investments. Won't be for everyone, but for me it is absolutely fantastic.

Check out "Kidding Around Europe" podcast too, that's @dominica and me. It's way behind but hopefully being in Panama we can start to catch up on it.

I don't know why but I can't process a book verbally. If I read it I can remember and get some of the intrigue and ideas but verbally I can't do that. Which extremely odd... as I am a fairly competent verbal learner.

I'm way too addicted to buying video games. Bought about ten this morning in the Steam weekly sale.
-
do you actually play them all? even if just for 10 mins?

Very few of them, lol. But mostly that's because I have a Mac. Once I get my gaming Windows PC built I plan to have the library loaded up and ready to go at all times.

Getting setup for the Panel discussion. Someone always has sound/video issues on these things.

Still having coffee on the balcony
Had some toast with butter this morning. I've never seen butter so soft before. I'm concerned about what they add to it. It is also "post nuclear event orange." -
Waiting on the rain that never seems to come here.

Really hot here today high of 90. But not too humid.

Really cool here today, heat index is only 111.4F.
And honestly it feels on the cool side comparatively.

Yawl feel free to come and visit me in Jawja this week... Heat index on Sunday was 115F, lol... being near a lake, it was so humid it felt like I went swimming every time I let the dog out.

Sounds like a George Lucas character...

Setup database exactly as install docs described... vendor told me it wasn't setup correctly.

You can go tanning while laying out on the Jar Jar Banks.

@coliver They must be relatives... some folks act just like Jar Jar down here.
