Just passed The Many Masks of Andy Zhou by Jack Cheng to my seventh grader. If you have a middle schooler in your life, I highly recommend picking up this lovely, real, and introspective book up for them. And for you.
TIL: Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers) played drums on Dua Lipa’s Break My Heart.
Not an active threat
Last night there were gunshot wounds at a White Sox game in the third inning, and two women were hit by bullets. The police and security deemed it not “an active threat” even though they had/have no leads as to what happened. Game rolled on.
I was surprised to see the number of fans in the bleachers for an OAK-CHW game (picture midway down the page). Then I got to the bottom of the page and saw there was supposed to be a Vanilla Ice/Tone Loc concert after the game, which was cancelled for “technical reasons.” That’s why.
Technical reasons? Technically Vanilla Ice didn’t want to get shot.
Good. Lord.
Hey, y’all, I got my first Apple Music Discovery Station recommendation!
I like to track the concerts and musicals I go to on Album Whale. Most the time I even write about the experience, though my writing has been lacking on the last few events. Here’s 2023 so far!

I’m starting to wonder if no one has ever actually gotten a Time Machine backup server to work seamlessly. I’ve done NAS and many others of things, and finally gave in to getting a Mac Mini. And here I am watching my laptop try to do its second backup to the Mac Mini right next to it…and fail.

This is five years old, but I just ran into it and it’s fascinating: Last of the Iron Lungs.
I wrote about fixing things. I’m not entirely sure why, but I wrote about it!
