This year, when the new iPhone 13 models were released, we decided to take the plunge and get one for each of us. We decided on the 13 Pro, and she went to the Apple store here to buy hers. She wanted one with 1TB of storage, but what they actually sold her was the… Continue reading The iPhone saga

Some Rambling Concerning The Great Toy Robbery
Some recent comments on another blog post of mine inspired me to do this one. I have decided to put an audio recording of me playing The Great Toy Robbery here. In this recording I got out with all seven keys and also escaped Santa’s rocket-powered death sleigh. The bird sound you hear during the… Continue reading Some Rambling Concerning The Great Toy Robbery
My Windows Phone, a Eulogy
As long ago as 2008, an event happened in my life. I was still grieving for my late second wife Jane, who had died of sepsis in 2005, and suffering from relentless loneliness, the deep depression consuming me little by little. A long-lost friend appeared out of nowhere and we talked and talked, somewhat revitalizing… Continue reading My Windows Phone, a Eulogy
Singin’ the iPhone Blues, Sort Of
Last Monday, Wife Eva got a new iPhone, an iPhone 13 Pro. She wanted the 1TB version but the Apple store sold her the 512GB one instead, after telling her they had the 1TB model. I will eventually inherit this one, in sierra blue it is. She has ordered the correct one on Amazon, so… Continue reading Singin’ the iPhone Blues, Sort Of
One Drive and Audacity
Hi! Wow! It has been awhile! The other day I finally succeeded in logging into the One Drive site and clearing everything out. When I first set up this computer I plunked a lot of stuff in what I thought was My Documents. It turned out to be One Drive My Documents so the darned… Continue reading One Drive and Audacity
My German Journey
Well, today, I finished that old book of thirty-eight German lessons. That book was written before the ß came into use, so all words that have that are misspelled today, such as Strasse. Note, that’s the way they spell it. I think this is still acceptable, but it is old-fashioned, like some of their other… Continue reading My German Journey
The Example I Referred to in My Previous Post
This is an instrumental version of the John Lennon song Love. A sensitive ear will pick up the dry tracks.
a Wandring Mind
This will most likely be a rambling post, and a reason why I don’t categorize anything. My first thought is that I wish I understood more about making music using MIDI. The closest I ever came to that was when I owned the Yamaha PSR-3000. Even then some of the tracks were dry and I… Continue reading a Wandring Mind
Last Update on the German course, for Quite Awhile
I received another email from my librarian. She told me this new German course they’re working on is from 2011. I’m very happy and excited! Now, it’s just the waiting and waiting for it to actually be completed. I know this will take some months to do, but still, I’m ecstatic that this one is… Continue reading Last Update on the German course, for Quite Awhile
Some Movement on the German Front
This morning I got an email from my librarian saying that a Braille and audio German course has started in development. It will take months for it to appear but at least the process has actually started. I only hope it’s newer material than what I’m studying now. When I was studying about colors, for… Continue reading Some Movement on the German Front
