A Rare (Not Really) Political Post

Last night, mabfan and I were watching the Democratic National Convention, and it occurred to me to mention, as I have a couple of times in related contexts over the past 19 months, that if it weren't for Jack Ryan, we wouldn't be having this particular set of speakers at the Convention.

Odd how things happen, no?

When Technology Fails Me

This morning, I started to open my cell phone to make a call, and the phone broke into two lovely pieces. I was able to get them back together so that the phone does still work, but I don't trust it to not break again. mabfan has been advocating for iPhones, and, in fact, is conducting a poll.

Please go vote! Tell us what to do!

Dear Self,

Please to remember that you are wearing your actual glasses today, not your contacts and reading glasses. Removing your glasses when you are on the phone will only lead to your not being able to see *anything*.

Write it down, if necessary. Oh, right. If you write it down and then take off your glasses, you won't be able to read the note.

Flailing blindly,
The hands and brain
