Really got cracking on the taxes today. And then mid-afternoon I went off to hear a discussion about a “smart home” product for the Asylum. Something doesn’t seem quite right about it to me. It seems to be trying to be all things to all people. Well, you can use your tablet, or your phone, or maybe your computer and for some things you can use Alexa or your TV or LED lobby displays or even a remote control clicker kind of a thing. And, it is supposed to interface with all manner of devices. Like a garmin fitness tracker. Or a BP machine. And, it will store your family photos. Somewhere. In “the” cloud? On your tablet? At some server farm in South Carolina? Too many moving parts. Do one thing and do it well. But, management will do what management does and life will continue here at the Asylum.
So, more New Orleans pictures. If not feel free to say bye bye right here.
After dinner I went to listen to an angry woman discuss her book on the 1998 embassy bombing in Kenya. She had been the Ambassador to Kenya when the bombing occurred. You all know that I am basically an intellectual slut. But, I try to take advantage of speakers programs here at the Asylum. Well, every now and then. But, I have never taken advantage of Bingo or group sing alongs.
Now, I have to clean up my apartment for the cleaning lady tomorrow. And tomorrow, I will try to finish up my taxes for the tax guy.
