Making Music With Linux and CD’s

Leave a comment
Gnome Music

I have been making music in a way by taking some of our CD’s and ripping them to my digital collection on my laptop. I have been using the Linux program Rhythmbox to import the music and then visually organizing the albums on Gnome Music where I will play them from.

Furthermore, I am saving them in the open source Ogg Vorbis format and tagging them so they can have the album art can be found online and embedded to each title. They won’t be going online for sharing just so that people with power will know it will be for personal use only. This is a retro way of doing things I would imagine, but it is fun.

Spring Forward Time, Again…

2 Comments

It’s time to “spring forward” again. That means setting your clocks ahead one hour before going to bed tonight as Daylight Savings Time begins at 2:00 AM on March 8, 2026. I hate time change like this because it messes with mood and other things. Some places have decided to no longer change time. They are smart in my book.

Once again, don’t forget to make that change tonight.

2025 Taxes Done!

Leave a comment

So, I was bored a little today and decided to do our 2025 income taxes. I always dread doing this for various reasons. Good news is that we get a decent refund. Taking care of this yearly event does take a little burden off I must say. Now we wait to get our money with anticipation.

Attacking Iran

Leave a comment

Nuclear weapons policy is outside my wheelhouse.

With that being said I think that attacking a country without congressional approval is wrong. Waking on a weekend to hear that war is possibly being waged is just plain wrong. Sure America and Iran have long-standing issues, but there is enough problems going on without getting into another conflict isn’t what most Americans want. Attacking Iran doesn’t keep America safe, but I guess Israel benefits. I don’t think Israel is worth it all.

Donald Trump is immoral, incompetent and is an evil person. His “Board of Peace” is a farce. He shouldn’t be President anymore if you ask me.

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God”

Matthew 5;9 from The Holy Bible.
