For those who have migrated their blog from elsewhere, do you fix old posts with broken links and format issues? Or do you just let it be?
Ticketmaster SNAFU
Buying tickets has been problematic for a very long time. Back in my record store employee days, people needed to line up to get tickets. This old method seems fairer than purchasing tickets online now. We weren’t one of the lucky ones to get a presale code to join in the fun. We’ll need to see if “reasonably” priced tickets become available later on.
What to Write on a Blog?
Where do you begin on a new blog?
I imagine this blog will be similar to my last attempt at blogging. The previous effort lasted for some time. The writing slowed when we started a family. The family plus work pushed blogging, even in a minimal way, to a full stop.
There were times when I wanted to post a few words, share a few links, or even write a simple review of a movie. But I didn’t put much effort into getting any of it done. If I had been able to do so, I believe doing just a little blogging would have helped me more than what I’ve been doing instead, which was browsing endless YouTube videos or reading Reddit posts.
On this go around, I may post less about my family, especially the kids. They deserve to carve out what their online identity should become if they have an online presence and understand what it means. I may post about them or what parenting challenges we’re facing. But I plan on sharing photos of them on this new site.
Let us see where this takes this new blog.

Getting New Tires Today
My MINI stripped of its wheels. Donât worry, sheâll be getting some new ones soon.
Smugmug or Micro.blog
I’m leaning towards Smugmug and Micro.blog since I don’t post long form entries much. And Micro.blog is nice just to share a link or two. I’m having iffy results posting photos on the go though.
Blogging Decision
Trying to determine if I’m really going to blog more or is it wishful thinking? If I do blog, will it be photos, links, or long form? Squarespace, WordPress, or Smugmug?
Nighttime Photo with iPhone XS Max
This nighttime photo was taken with iPhone XS Max. It turned out OK, didnât it?
Garbage at The Fox Theater
Concert photo of Garbage at the Fox Theater in Oakland, California last night. They played a lot of obscure or b-side tracks.
When The Dubs Hit The Turbo Button

"The Warriors will tell you that they don't always know when it will happen, cannot always sense the start of an avalanche. But it has happened enough that the team believes, just as its foes do, that one will arrive at some point."
When it happens it is a beautiful thing to watch, if you are a fan of the Warriors.
Disagreeing with Facts
âI think one of the reasons that that example comes to mind is because this is a report of facts and research,â she said. âThis is a summary of really important and, in some cases, government-funded work that was done to understand the causes and effects of sexual and gender violence. What does it mean that the Trump administration doesnât want the public to have that information?â
Sadly, I think this is a case of it’s not a problem if we don’t acknowledge it.
My Eclipse Time-lapse
Not much of a timelapse. I’m impressed by the clouds more than the partial eclipse
Help Me Help You
"I used to cycle through disbelief, shame, anger. Now I just show compassion and move on," she added.
Iâve heard this happening myself while in the waiting room for my doctor. The person first didnât want a nurse practitioner, but a doctor. She was presented with options. Then she wanted a doctor that went through medical school in the US. More options were given. Then she wanted a doctor that wasnât a woman. Finally, she wanted a doctor that was white.
Childhood Nightmares
Trilogy of Terror was something I should have never watched as a kid. The little warrior doll scares the hell out of me, even today! (via the loop)
Breakfast the Other Day
The girls and I went to breakfast at the local diner the other day. They find eating at a diner so comforting. đ·
