Really happy with the Origami Dojo. It is a perfectly delightful place to sit and fold paper.
Today, I continued my 7-year anniversary cleanup. Today’s focus was the bathroom. True confession. I had some soap that had gotten moldy. That’s pretty lame. What was even lamer: I tried to figure out how to salvage said soap. Fortunately, sanity returned and the moldy soap went into the trash.
The WiFi died this afternoon. (As did some of the house electricity and the house phones) This seriously disrupted a lot of essential things. Things like hot hors d’oeuvre with cocktails this afternoon. We had to subsist on cheese, crackers, and chips.
But, I was actually happy to have the WiFi off in the Old Bat Cave and the electricity ON. Because I was able to see what Alexa would do with my lights when WiFi was down. Happily, Alexa was able to control all the devices and lights using just its ZigBee mesh network. I knew Alexa was supposed to be able to do that, but I had never actually tested it.
Why you might want to reconsider using stock photos.
I got an email today from my hospital trying to get me to come to a lecture about “Fall Safety For Seniors”. Fair enough. They used this cheery picture of perky diverse “old people”.
But wait. I have seen these very same old people before. Where? On the Asylum’s corporate website. On the header/banner.
Most likely only a photographer would notice this. But… if I were considering moving to The Asylum I would wonder: What exactly do your real people look like?
The hospital was sending an invite to a free lecture. They can use stock. But, The Asylum expects you to drop some serious money as a “buy-in”. Never mind that we all know that actual old people don’t look like that! And that the stock image adds zero to the webpage.
