State Of My Tech

Leave a comment

I have a hand-me-over laptop from Mrs. Soup Diva that I have installed Ubuntu, the open-source Linux operating system Ubuntu 22.04, and Windows 10. I am running them via a dual-boot setup. Both operating systems will still be supported with some updates for the next couple of years so I feel comfortable in saying that I will shoot for a new laptop then and most likely it will be a good refurbished unit that costs under $300. Recently I installed more memory and a solid-state NVME drive so it’s running great right now. I don’t think I am going to have to make any further changes as long as I take care of what I have. I also have a desktop with the same configuration.

I believe it’s good to save your pennies where you can on technology and other things. Soon I am going to adorn the laptop with some stickers to give it a hipster personalization vibe (I’ll share that in a later post). I hope you all have setups that make you happy and productive.

Opportunity, justice, and forgiveness are universal things. No one should deny others of those important things. I believe in a God who wants to give those things to people of all races, creeds, orientations, and backgrounds.

What the United States Supreme Court is doing lately is bullshit and is harming people who should enjoy the full measure of life, liberty, and happiness.

Spider-Man Across The Spider-Verse: A Non-Spoilery Review

1 Comment

I absolutely loved “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” It was something so unique for being action-packed, funny, and very superhuman. “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” is an even better movie that levels up the action and is much darker than the first movie featuring Miles Morales as the hero. I can say that this movie tells a story of growing up and being the person you are meant to be no matter what dimension you live in.

It appears that Marvel and Sony are going all in on this because this is the first of a two-part saga. After seeing these two movies I can say that animation is the best way to tell the story of Spider-Man with all due respect to the live-action actors who have portrayed the role. It’s a movie you want to see on the big screen. There were times I wish I could pause the movie because there was so much going on.

It does help to see the first movie before going to see the second. I was highly impressed and will be seeing it again when it comes to home video. Well done Miles Morales, Gwen Stacy, and the team.

The stuff that makes you happy can sometimes disappoint people in your life. It especially sucks when you are a people pleaser who doesn’t want to be that anymore.

Wednesday, June 21, 2023 is the summer solstice — the longest daylight hours of the year and the official start of summer.

Despite it being the first day of summer it’s raining here in Chattanooga. Not the best way to begin the season.
