I was looking around the Target app for LEGO sets for Nate as an Easter gift. So I start entering “LEGO sets…” in the search bar and the first thing it offered in autocomplete was “LEGO sets under $10.”
I’m not sure exactly when it started, but, at some point in the past, Spotify decided to venture into the audiobook frontier. As I was always a user of either Audible or Libby, I paid no attention to it.

IYKYK…
I was looking at the weather forecast in the iOS Weather app only to discover that it was going to be a crappy day.
Ever since Instagram was bought by Facebook, now Meta, it has become so stupid.
It’s time for yet another round of Stupid Scammers Being Stupid at Scamming.

Saw these on Instagram and immediately fell in love with them.
Katie saw them and immediately said “Nope.”
I joined an online group of horror fans. Not just movies but anything horror related. It’s been a lot of fun talking to them and getting ideas for new books and movies and whatnot.
This. So much this. Truer words…
And, just like that, TikTok is dead.
As the NFL post season comes to a close in the next few weeks, I’ve reviewed my attention span as it relates to football this past season. I don’t much like what I’m seeing.
I went digging through old posts and discovered that the current design on my blog was launched on October 7, 2020. This makes me wonder if, perhaps, it’s time to redesign.

The following were created by a coworker presumably using AI image generation in response to requests from coworkers in Slack on how best to deal with the holidays.

Oh how I love bad holiday memes and puns. I hope you do, too, or I’m gonna have to ask you to skip this post and move on to the next.
For the last 20 days, I’ve been taking part in a book challenge on Bluesky. In it, you “Choose 20 books that have stayed with you or influenced you. One book per day for 20 days, in no particular order. No explanations, no reviews, just covers.”
Oh yay! It’s the calls from The Netherlands and Italy I’ve been waiting for all year long!

I discovered a prompt in Bluesky the other day that read, “What were the four albums that dropped when you were in high school that defined your music taste forever?”
This is what happens when you don’t pay extra for additional accounts in Spotify.
We’re a Libby household. That’s an app that is used by many libraries for sharing electronic materials like ebooks and audiobooks with patrons.
Why do I soooooo want to do this? Buy a replica Jonathon Moxon jersey from the movie Varsity Blues direct from “Mox” himself James Van Der Beek. And 100% of the proceeds go to helping those suffering from cancer to pay for their treatment, including James.
Not that many of you were following me or whatnot, but I have shut down Find My access to the public. Well, it’s not shut down completely. But I removed access to everyone that is not either Katie or Nathan.
Yes, I’m now on BlueSky. I’m so new to it that I’m still second guessing if I should capitalize the S in Sky. Hmmm…
I’m never going to be able to look at the names of the NHL’s Nashville Predators and Edmonton Oilers the same way again after this…
To be filed under reasons why you can’t trust AI to do everything and you need to still use quality assurance or proofreaders…Mattel Toys announced a few months ago that they were going to use Generative AI to create packaging for their line of Barbie dolls for the holidays.
I wrote a post. I posted a post. I re-opened the post to copy & paste the post to create another similar post.
So much for abstaining from purchasing an Apple Watch, eh?
I read an article about last night’s MTV Video Music Awards that lauded Lenny Kravitz performance of a three-song medley so I looked up the video on YouTube.
And now I know why my Fitbit/iPhone sync isn’t working… Google is killing off the physical Fitbit devices in favor of supporting their own Pixel watches.
It may be time to retire the old Fitbit.
Vudu, the service that sells digital copies of TV and movies, gets it right on so many things.
So am I expected to wear the tactical armor above or below my sequined gown while BBQing with my new free garden tool.
Did you know that sometimes, on iOS and iPadOS, when you delete an app, you don’t always delete an app? It’s still there. Or maybe this is just for me.
I was recently introduced to a cool feature on the History.com website called This Day in History that allows you view events of historical significance that happened either on the current date or on a date of your choosing.
Turns out today is my 19th Blogiversary here on Typepad (26th year overall running some version of kapgar.com).
