Went to check some secondhand stores for CDs today. The Salvation Army had a lot of religious CDs, and an entire bucket of burned CD-Rs. Nothing jumped out at me, so I went to Goodwill. Their selection was a lot better. Ended up picking up The Best of Glenn Miller, The Music Man (1962), 1/3 of a […]

To all the other "computer people" going to see family during the holidays:
When they complain about their iPhone being messed up, the option you're looking for this year is "reduce transparency" under accessibility settings.
You're welcome in advance.
