I pulled my old digital Canon Rebel out of the closet for my daughter to use at photography club. It’s almost 15 years old, but other than needing a new battery, it’s working perfectly. A whopping 6 megapixels, but it will be perfect for her.

@kerryrm The university uses Office 365 so it’s integrated with Outlook nicely. But if you used Wunderlist, it will look and feel familiar.

I’m pleasantly surprised by the Microsoft To Do app. I used Wunderlist for a number of years, but I found other alternatives after it was sold to Microsoft. The new app is clearly an evolution of Wunderlist and is exceptionally well done. to-do.microsoft.com/en-us

Apple Music recommended a 1999 Guadalcanal Diary live album this morning. Nice way to start the day. 🎧 music.apple.com/us/album/at-yo…

@sp8thegame @DietCoke Maybe don’t use the X-Acto knife to make any comps while you are going through withdrawal…

Because of @DanCookSC, I have a selection of rap songs stuck in my head.

@KelleyinCola @Apple My understanding is that there are no additional in-app purchases.

@keyjbrown @hulu We really like Hulu with Live TV. Haven’t missed cable at all.

@davispr @BrookeWMcKeever @SeniorSisk @UofSC_SJMC Outstanding. Dr. Zoch was also one of my favorites (and my honors thesis advisor).

@joeldavidsawyer Country music is not allowed in my car.

The distance from my house to Walgreens is approximately 1.25 pop songs.

Helping the kiddos with homework. I’m going to be so good at algebra and geography at the end of this year.

The semester has definitely started… i’m spending my Sunday morning in the kitchen drinking coffee and reading journal articles.

Also, since I gave them hell for the idea of a flag design contest in the first place, I have to say that the current idea of paying five designers to refine concepts to come to a better result is a step in the right direction.

Today on Twitter… The town I grew up in struggles to find a new logo, and the town I live in now continues the quest to adopt a new flag.

After reading this article about rapidly falling camera sales, I wonder if Apple or other tech companies will purchase one of the big camera companies, if nothing else, for the intellectual property and sensor technology. om.co/2019/09/03/cam…

I went to bed early because I needed sleep. I woke up — wide awake — at 2 a.m. Kinda defeats the purpose of going to bed early… 😴

@davispr Thankfully, no, but I moved 7,142 floppy drives worth of data to external backups. I just love the 💾 emoji.

Farewell to ‘HOW’ and ‘Print’: sketchbookb.com/journal/2019/9…

@jamesmiller I’m not surprised, but still… both Print and HOW were very influential early in my career.

Sorting through years of computer files today… I am a digital pack rat. 💾

I love a long weekend, but I hate the first day back after a long weekend.
