Occasionally I like to boot up my 2nd gen Apple TV and AirPlay some music or videos to it on my Sony Trinitron CRT connected with an HDMI to RCA adapter. It’s just so silly, I love that it still all works. I love the old Apple TV music interface and how it flips sides occasionally. #vintageapple
My vintage tv stand, with the song “Wow” by Fickle Friends being AirPlayed to the Sony CRT TV. Next to the tv is a PS2 Slim on one side and the Apple TV on the other side. Below the tv is a vintage Ultrx stereo and a purple GameCube. There is an iPod dock next to the GameCube.

I made this more than a year ago and forgot all about it until today.
The 3-pane Winnie the Pooh meme format. First panel: Winnie is unimpressed and wearing his red shirt. "Making a meme quickly" Second panel: Winnie is smirking and wearing a suit coat. "Thinking of a meme for a week" Third panel: Winnie is wearing a monocle and a suit and top hat. "Bottom Text"

I don’t have many in it yet, but when I started it I only had “Wake Up” in mind haha. Sorry for no quick link sharing - I don’t use Apple Music or Spotify streaming so this is just music from my library!

I would clearly feel blessed,
if the sun rose up from the west.
Snapple “Real Fact” #1383 The sun rises in the west on Venus. The fact reminded me of the song “If My Heart Was a House” by Owl City.

Debating seeing how easy it would be to bring my Pokémon Viridian's Old Man bot here. The Bluesky docs make it seem like it's pretty straightforward, and I already have all the python code for the bot's phrases and stuff itself. Would anyone be interested in this again, or just me? :P
Viridian's Old Man Twitter account, saying, "A wild Lugia appeared! Old Man went over to pet it. Lugia ran away!"

“Hawaii Man” hopes to get some candy on Halloween. #Halloween
It’s me, dressed in a super Hawaiian shirt and a neon green undershirt, with a lay around my neck and blue sunglasses on. I’m doing a Shaka hang loose hand gesture.

10 games to get to know me!

(I'll admit, it was harder than expected to come up with 10 distinct games.) :P
A photo of me on a really short lawn chair. Game images are surrounding me, including: - The World Ends With You (Nintendo DS) - Super Smash Bros. (Nintendo GameCube) - Katamari Damacy (PlayStation 2) - Super Bomberman R (Nintendo Switch) - Burnout 3: Takedown (Xbox) - Pokémon White 2 (Nintendo DS) - Pokémon Blue Version (Nintendo Game Boy) - Columns 3 (Sega Genesis) - Bugdom (Macintosh) - Pokémon Diamond (Nintendo DS)

I finally got the other album by The Eames Era on CD. Their first album, Double Dutch. I love the design of the insert and CD and case on this one!

I haven’t listened to it yet but who is Gabby?? “Dear Gabby” is a song on their second album, “Heroes and Sheroes”. 🤔 #TheEamesEra
The inside of the CD case for “Double Dutch” by The Eames Era with the CD showing and the back of the insert. The insert reads “For everyone except Gabby”. The front of the album cover. There are two hands playing with a jump rope and the arms have the album and band name written in the edges of the arms’ design. The back or the CD cover, showing the song titles. The inside of the CD insert along with the CD itself again. They thanked lots of people!

Went to pick up Pokémon Legends: Z-A!
The box stands for Chikorita, Tepig, and Totodile in a store. My copy of Legends: Z-A for Nintendo Switch 1.

So I’m kinda annoyed that my level in Pokémon GO went from 43 to 68, mainly because I got WAY more items than I know what to do with (I ended up tossing most of the potions and I’m burning through berries and Ultra Balls as we speak).
Level 68! I caught 23,571 Pokémon, spun 9,695 Poké Stops, and explored 5,721 km since leveling up last. Some stuff I got from leveling up. Ultra Ball Jacket, 150 Pokémon Storage, 175 Item Bag Storage, and 15 Gift Storage. Why did they make it 75 and not an even 50 or 100? My bag after getting tons of new items. I had 2,905/1,475. I have since whittled it down to 2,076/1,475 because I tossed most of the Max Potions and Max Revives, used a bunch of Ultra Balls using my Go Plus+, and fed a bunch of berries in Gyms. I usually keep about 70 Max Potions and 70 Max Revives and 40 Ultra Balls, so this is overkill.

Less than 24 hours until I finally level up past this dumb requirement. #PokemonGO
I have more than 31,000,000/11,000,000 for leveling to level 44, but I need to do the trainer battles still, which I never did. Pokémon Go’s level up update is happening tomorrow to fix all this.

I had the realization this weekend that I could be using one of my old iPads for displaying the Now Playing screen for what’s playing from my iTunes library on my Mac using the iTunes Remote app. I love the big album art!
An iPad 2 on an iPad keyboard dock in the corner of a room on a small table, next to a lamp and a soda can. The iPad is displaying the iTunes Remote app, which has the now playing screen for the song “Oh Darling” by Supertramp.

Slix happy because he's outside of a new Apple Store he visited.

Last night I tried to take a photo of the moon rising but my phone wouldn’t focus so I ended up with this instead.
A super blurry photo of an orange moon rising above the horizon over a lake. There are blurry clouds above the lake.

Realizing I only have about half of The Beatles White Album in my library. I was randomly selective about some albums when I was younger so I guess I never imported the entire thing.
The track listing for The Beatles White Album from my iTunes library. Tracks 9, 10, 11, 14 on disc 1, and 2, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 on disc 2 are missing.

Good evening.
The moon in the middle of a sunset. There are pinks and oranges among the sky colors. Below the sunset on the horizon there is water and in the foreground there are tree branches.

A few months ago I got a new Apple Watch and it’s been telling me I might have sleep apnea. So I told my doctor and got a home sleep study appointment set up. Last night, I got the equipment and turned into a robot for an evening.
I’m wearing a belt around my chest with a sensor and tubes coming off of it, and a tube going into each nostril, and the tubes are taped to my face. I’m smiling! I was trying to do a thumbs up but the oximeter on my finger made it so I couldn’t really bend my finger so enjoy my finger gun instead.
