Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy (1990) https://album.link/tzgcrzhswzq35 Example: Yup - Fight the Power.... my friends.

Given the recent news.

Is the 1UP still the go-to hitch bike rack? We need to move two e-bikes around and want it to be easy on and off. Thinking the 1UP heavy duty is the answer, but happy to hear other ideas

Navigating through the first season of Fringe, by recommendation of a half relative. The fringe science is laughable but the implied conspiracy theory involving big corporations is premonitory in 2009: "how are we going to do our job if we have lower security clearance than this company's employees". Having fun so far.

Saturday was either clean the house or watch TV, so the entire season of Hijack.

Today I did a significant update to "We have iMac at home." Today at Chicken Alley I picked up a used Apple Thunderbolt display for $60. It was pretty grimy and the power cord (which is permanently attached, because AAPL) showed signs of being yanked on. Of course, the display didn't work at all, but it served to remind me that I already had one. It's a slightly different model, I got it for $25(!) and it happens to work fully. I spent an hour removing the monitor, speakers, webcam and USB hub (the Thunderbolt Display serves all of these functions) and got it working with the 2012 Mini. They work together seamlessly. That Macally mini keyboard is awful. Mum figured out something like 1/3 of the keys don't work properly with shift. That's not a "bad keys" issue, it's "something is wrong with the chipset" one. I've been shopping for decent third party Mac keyboards that are small sized and not crap. The market is terrible. I don't want crazy clicky Red switches. I don't want to pay over $300 (Seriously, look at the price of an HHK these days.) Keychron makes a lot of great models, and they are Al.. Out. Of. Stock. Unless I want a $275 Bluetooth one.

Very hard route but I'm happy. Beautiful place, friends.... I had good times in a few hard parts but in the crono (last 5kms) I only did a regular time... I guess that my body isn't to 100%.

RIP Roberta Flack. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2025/feb/24/roberta-flack-soul-and-rb-icon-behind-killing-me-softly-dies-aged-88 Roberta Flack, singer of 'Killing Me Softly,' has died at age 88 https://www.npr.org/2025/02/24/834223765/roberta-flack-killing-me-softly-dead https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/24/arts/music/roberta-flack-dead.html?unlocked_article_code=1.zU4.elyl.yNdxk0iM0eNI&smid=url-share

RIP Gwen McCrae. Google search results report today as the day of her passing, but there are exactly zero news articles on it. This Information Age thing stinks.
