A crummy commercial! Son of a bitch.

masked santas

Somebody posted a pic of their Christmas tree today with ornaments that are a Santa with mask. Some people lovin’ this stuff.

Those ornaments gotta be made in one of those countries we’ve been instructed to hate.

edm christmas song fun

Listening to O Holy Night that has an energetic disco beat to it. Nice and fun!

museum of endangered sounds

This site is nice. Sounds of aging technology, like modems negotiating a connection over copper phone line.

Windows 95 start-up melody is there. I still have it on my modern Linux desktops, saved and passed along from one hard drive to another since I got my first Windows machine in 1996.

AOL Instant messenger is nice, also ICQ. I still use ICQ. The default sound is still “uh oh!”

moka pot

Opening some of those Christmas gifts. Brian got me a Moka pot. ❤️ ☕

silent night

This version of Silent Night is gooder ‘n anything. Love it. Turn up subwoofer.

Youtube link below, or search Neurobic – Silent Night on a music service.

Silent Night works like a charm in so many languages. I heard my spouse’s father rock it in Pennsylvania Dutch one time.

announcements as image only, no text, leave people out

A couple of churches from which I receive e-mail, I keep looking and looking for info on the Christmas Eve service, and it’s not there. Then I remember major sections of the newsletters from these places often get text converted into a remote-loading image so a sprig of holly, or something can be added as decor.

The remote images don’t load, and there’s no “view in browser” override.

Text-as-image also leaves out many people with visual impairments. No inclusion there.

If you type up something to convert to an image for an announcement, include the text, too. That way everybody is included.

Just frustrated, again.

boost

With the rollout of the next booster, will there be another wave of the arm/bicep/bandaid pics, or could it become passé?

back into the future

When I was a little one watching TV in the 60’s, there would be little black and white commercial breaks that would show some possible futuristic invention.

They would end with a jingle and a staccato robotic voice saying, “these are the things of the 21st century.”

Then, there might be a cigarette ad. You’ve come a long way, baby.

we have been granted a break

A good one just came in on my FB feed from one who spends the year issuing the most stern and relentless proclamations against others.

The message is that it’s now OK to log off and practice some self-care.

Oh, boy! Good that it’s now authorized. Whew!
