The fact that the first song the Apple Infinite Playlist algorithm churned out after the entirety of the debut album by Bad English finished playing was Steve Perry's "Oh Sherrie" makes me think said algorithm programmer has a very good sense of humor.

I pulled up "Close My Eyes Forever" by Lita Ford & Ozzy Osbourne, and the Apple Autoplay has been doing yeoman's work with the '80s hard rock/heavy metal since.

Just musically wandering through my teenage years while working...

Started & finished Eric Bishop's novella Ransomed Daughter today.

Great introduction to The Omega Group, looking forward to the next tale. Though between the name & the Arnold jokes at the beginning, I suspect this was just one big homage to True Lies...

Oh look, the Astros-Rangers game is the Free Game of the Day on MLB.tv.

Oh look, I can't watch it on my phone at my kid's basketball practice because MLB broadcasting is stupid.

No one: Chris, what did you do when you got home from #ImmortalFestII?

Me: Started ripping all the CDs I bought in to my iTunes library...

@33MHz Oh noes! (Also, been there, done that. You have my empathy.)

You also want a knee scooter. Trust me.

@33MHz Rob just redesigned it, when the publishing rights reverted to him. I happened to win this copy, otherwise I would've been content with my original.

The two ladies manning the Hertz customer service booth at Dayton International were an utter delight to interact with. Sweet and quickly competent, a dream customer interaction.

Jimmy's having his cheeseburger in Paradise now. Had front row seats at a show he did in New Orleans in the mid-90s. Really fun. #RIP

Everything in college conference expansion is stupid as the ATLANTIC COAST conference adds teams from California and Texas. /sigh
