Now that New Year’s Eve is this weekend, what are your plans? Do you go out and party? Have a special dinner? Watch the fireworks live? Get drunk and fall over? Stay home and sulk? Going to bed early or watching stuff on TV/cable/stream doesn’t count. #2024

The new SuperNote A5X2 is a lot snappier/faster. The writing feel is top-notch. It’s a lot slimmer. But, it’s not compatible with the old folio. I’ll have to get one. The paint program, Atelier, is a nice addition, as is, auto-landscape mode (new sensor). #eink #supernote

Anyone have a fun day?
If you got gifts today, what was the best one? What was the worst one?
Having a quiet day here. What’s everyone up to?
Making granola this morning.
The Gathering: Still shows up every day to stare into through the deck door. Spot’s kittens are getting bigger and more rambunctious. It’s been a year since the first of them showed up, and they’ve been daily visitors since. Yes, the opossum still shows up at night. Weird house, …
Merry Christmas. youtu.be/HPdHkHslF… We still fight wars… #music
Good morning. Merry Christmas to all who celebrate. And happy holidays to everyone else. And to you, Bah humbug! Time for the ceremonial coffee.
