My wife and I are watching “The 1% Club,” and they just made a mistake. They said the word “own” has only one vowel. But, did you know that w can function as a vowel? And it functions as a vowel in “own.”

My experiment with Navidrome is ending. It’s a great idea, but too limiting in comparison to other available options. I also tried Roon; it’s so close yet so far away. I will either stick with Apple Music or go with Vox, which lets me combine and intermingle my own music files with a Qobuz account.
This weekend’s College Football Index: 3
South Carolina moved to 3 and 2 on the season with pretty solid play all around. Clemson didn’t play this weekend, so I’ll leave the index at a 3.
I am not yet very impressed with Potential Tropical Cyclone Nine. But you can tell it has been a while since we’ve seen the potential for a landfalling storm here.
In South Carolina, we have instructional aids in self-contained special education classrooms spraying fart spray into air conditioning units and making kids sick. 🙄
The only time I’ve ever been able to say, “I have anxiety,” was about 10 years ago, and I know why. But for the last two weeks, my anxiety has been palpable and I have no clue why. Work is busy but great. Home life is great. My kids are thriving. I have no reason to be anxious in my little corner of the world.
Except perhaps—and I came to this realization literally as I was writing this post—1the state of the world in general is causing it? It would be a first if something wholly out of my control were to be causing me to be anxious. And yet…

The Cosmic Orange is growing on me and the blue TechWoven case (which is an experiment for me because I’ve never been interested in Apple’s woven cases before) looks really good paired with the device.
This orange is… um… ugly! Not the shade represented in the press photos. Guess I’m running with a case this year.
Update: It’s growing on me.

That was a disgusting loss by South Carolina!
