It’s a new phone day for me. We have been loyal Google Pixel users since the original model. This is the 9a that is replacing my 7a. My wife has the 8a, and we have had other models over the years. We usually upgrade every couple of years because we have Google Fi as our phone provider. We like all the good stuff these phones have to offer, such as its camera and call quality. The Pixel integrates with the Google ecosystem seamlessly. I suppose my next phone will be the 11a, and that should be in 2027. Along with the phone comes a new holster case for it.
Today is the end of life for the Microsoft Windows 10 operating system. After today there will no longer be updates sent out unless you buy extended service programs.
Upgrades to Windows 11 are available to compatible computers.
Windows 10 Ends On October 14, 2025
Those who don’t have machines that will run Windows 11 will have to buy a new computer or use open source operating systems like Linux Mint to keep their systems from becoming unusable. I do recommend Linux for those with some experience. Thank you Windows 10 for your service.
It’s finally cool enough for me to wear my Salish Kootenai College long sleeve shirt. I picked this up from the SKC college bookstore in Pablo, Montana when I was there in August visiting family. I’m proud to wear it and offer support to the native/indigenous community in the area. GO BISON!
It’s 2025 and why in the hell do many want to go back to 1955 and earlier. The promise of the future is in jeopardy by those who are wanting to claw back the hard fought progress that has made the world more just and fair. I don’t want dystopia, it’s not the best place to be.
I’m wanting to strengthen and enrich my blogging community on WordPress. I think of my fellow bloggers as friends. What do you think about the idea of having connections with bloggers around the world?
October, is in my mind when Fall/Autumn gets serious. The leaves change color, there are all sorts of fun and cozy stuff happening. Halloween gives us that spooky vibe. In Canada, families gather for Thanksgiving. Fall festivals are a plenty. My friends, have a great month. Let’s hope it’s good to all of us.
