Day 27, 2023: New Jersey

Last week during my daily commute, I was listening to “Hair Nation” channel on SiriusXM radio. Bon Jovi song was playing and the host mentioned how great the “New Jersey” album was. So I went to Amazon.com and found a sealed copy of 2014 reissue deluxe edition of the album. Well it arrived today and I took it home. Then I realized that I do not have one single optical disc player in the house. I’ll have to take the CD back to the office to add it into my digital library.

On other news, I finished updating my Apple TV and HomePod minis at home. Apparently,

HomePod and Apple TV Apple TV 4K has eARC support built in. Pair it with up to two HomePod speakers to enjoy home theater audio across all your TV -connected devices.

I’m going to try it out this weekend. I am so tempted in getting a pair of new HomePods.

I finally got around to installing Apple TV and HomePod mini software updates (16.3) today. The latest update enables Humidity and Temperature Sensors in HomePod mini; which are also enabled in HomePod 2nd Generation.

I can’t help myself but thinking that we all are being pranked right now, unfortunately it is the actual state of the world. I always thought that only smart people can be in the government. I was wrong.

Day 24, 2023: Handling it, or lack thereof…

Apparently I have this tiny wooden pallet at the office. 👆

Anyway, does anyone know how to handle Secret Documents properly?

By the way as I was writing this, one of the puppies (of all ages) had an accident in the living room. Time to clean it up.
