I bought an Apple product and received 6 free months of Apple Music. I wasn’t really interested but figured I wouldn’t let it go to waste so I activated it. I first started building a playlist on my phone and I was surprised when I opened my computer to find the playlist was also ready to listen to there. It was pretty neat but not that impressive, I’ve been using Spotify and that basically does the same thing. Then last night I was at the gym and didn’t want to listen to the limited music I have on my phone. I remembered the new Silk Sonic album dropped and I have been obsessed with “Leave the Door Open” so I opened iTunes and sure enough it was there, no ads, just ready to go. I have to say I am totally on board now. It really was nice to be able to access anything. I’ve run into the problem on Spotify where musicians I like don’t have...

Haven’t done any updates in a while, and there’s a reason for that. I have been busy and therefore sick. I have the worst way of dealing with stress. I just stamp that crap down and ignore it.

First thing I printed was a shirt with my logo on it to match the new shoes I bought. Yep, that is dorky as hell but I’ve never claimed not to be a dork. My daughter said I’m cringy, and she isn’t wrong. I am really looking forward to learning and pushing this machine. The good thing is my work has been really encouraging and open to me doing just about anything while learning it. They figure if I’m excited about the work I’ll do a better job of learning and pushing it and I totally agree. I have an interesting month ahead.
