Oat art is the new sand art.

For some reason, I always thought Drew Carey and Bob Barker, on #thePriceIsRight, had someone doing the “wheel math” in their ear.

I saw Drew stumble on 75 + 15 today. Mind blown. And can totally relate.

My home internet is down, but fortunately I got rid of Chamberlain’s MyQ and replaced it with an all-local option.

Got home. Connected to WiFi. Opened garage door. Bada-bing, bada-boom.

I grew up a Windows kid. Muscle memory starts with CTRL+ALT. IdleWild screensaver crashed our first machine, repeatedly.

Yesterday, I sat down, like that kid I was, again, and troubleshot a Mac issue.

Lessons / Reminders:

• Not knowing stuff is humbling.
• Figuring stuff out is exciting.
• F8 for Safe Mode makes more sense than anything else, ever. Change my mind.
