A Super Sunday – #GroundhogDay #SuperBowl

There’s a lot going on today. So this is indeed a “Super Sunday”

First, it’s 02/02/20 which is a perfect palindrome. Meaning the date is the same backward and forward. Pretty cool eh.

Then it’s Groundhog Day and from reports, Punxsutawney Phil did not see his shadow meaning we are in for an early Spring. The way the weather has been where I live it’s hard to tell it’s Winter at all.

Then later today it’s Super Bowl LIV (54) in Miami, Florida. The San Francisco 49ers take on the Kansas City Chiefs. This should be an exciting game and hopefully high scoring. The halftime show will feature Shakira and Jennifer Lopez. Of course, the commercials can be as entertaining as the game itself. I’ll have more on this game later today.

 

I Returned To Facebook

After two months I returned to Facebook for a brief visit. I am still figuring out how to use it from here on out. I won’t be there for long as I am content being away.

It’s a new month with new stuff going on. The year seemed to start off rough globally so let’s see if things can settle down a bit as we go into this new month. Remember we get an extra day this go around due to it being a leap year.

I Was Judgemental, I Was Wrong

I am judgemental sometimes and its something that isn’t a good look on me or anyone for that matter. Being judgemental can do harm to people including oneself. Judge not says the Good Book but as a human sometimes you can’t help call things as you see them. However, what you see is not always what is reality. Some folks just are crying for help. As a person who has cried for help recently, I should always be more sensitive to those who are struggling. All I can do is ask for forgiveness and try to do better.

So I Have Joined The Dark Side – Now Using Windows 10 #microsoft #windows10

Microsoft_Windows_10_Logo

I bought a new computer this past week and it came with Microsoft Windows 10 Professional. This is the first time I have used Windows at home on a regular basis in quite some time. Like anything, there is a learning curve that goes along with it. I am getting to know it and there are some things I like and others I don’t. For over 10 years I used one Linux distro or another and have enjoyed it. But it’s OK to try something different, something old and familiar with some new polish. isn’t it?

Almost everyone uses Microsoft’s or Apple’s operating system to power their machines so this is as much a social experiment as anything. This new system I have is the most powerful machine I have owned and yes I am going to stick to using Windows 10 so I can be more fluent in it. As a matter of fact, I am writing this post on the native Edge web browser.

Let’s see what happens. It’s going to be an adventure to be sure.
