I live in Lebanon, #Indiana where I am a husband and father of 2. Loyal son of Wabash College (#WAF). VP, Solution Engineering and Technology at Indiana Health Information Exchange (IHIE). Hobbies include #pokemongo, #audiobooks, #podcasts, and #weightlifting (although it doesn’t quite outpace my love of #food).

First weight training back from spring break was…difficult.

Anyone else see the #libby app for #audiobooks start losing it's place, restarting, or jumping to wrong chapters randomly when stopping/starting? Last two books I listened to I had to constantly remember to set a bookmark so I could find my place again when stopping because at least 25% of the time it would lose place.

I just knocked out an audiobook via Libby this past week during Spring Break. No hitches or issues.

OMG Should I scan my antique postcard collection?! My favorites are the ones with writing. I've bought tons of them on eBay over the years, and they're most pictures of Indianapolis.

I think @limebar did something like this not too long ago. Not just Indy, I remember some Evansville stuff in there too. Very cool to see those.

Looking at the momentum built up by the cargo ship hitting the bridge in Baltimore.

The total weight of the ship+max cargo is 423.958 million pounds. The ship was traveling at 9.2 mph. That means the cargo ship’s momentum was 1,742,467,380 pounds•meters/second.

98%. I also have a launch-day iPhone 15 Pro Max. I play a lot of battery draining games and I’m pretty sure that is a factor.

We’re entering the Ubiquiti ecosystem this weekend. Just got a new Cloud Gateway Ultra and U6 Pro access point delivered. May need a second AP to fully cover the house but figured we’d start with one and see. Should be a nice upgrade from our aging Asus access points.

@NefariousAryq

I got a Ubiquiti Edgerouter X when I got fiber and have been pretty happy with it. It is a whole other level of sophisticated administration than I was used to, but once it was set up, it has been solid.

I signed up for a beverage subscription at a local gas station chain. Drinks every six hours, including coffee!

Little things like this make me happy.

Maybe I'm easily amused. 😺

@KrissyKat

Never heard of such a thing. Is this from a chain that I might recognize?

brian,
@brian@hoosier.social avatar

@KrissyKat

Yup, they sure do! It is actually very close to my house. I used to stop there every day when my kids were little. I had school drop-off duty in the mornings and it was right on our way. I used to get the kids square donuts sometimes.

The in-office day was exhausting, as usual, but accomplished things that would have gone differently or been more difficult remote. I still enjoy being mostly #remote and wouldn’t give it up for anything. But I do see value in the face-to-face every once in a while.

I wonder if these old ads about the sexiness of garbage disposals would be too much for our modern Indiana leaders, such as Mike Pence.

Thanking a man three times a day for a garbage disposal seems like it isn't keeping reproductive activities just for producing children to serve the glory of the lord and the army.

Different times, different times!

My company’s office is in the original Barbasol shaving cream manufacturing & distribution location. They have some of the old Barbasol ads up in the hallways & lobby’s to recognize the historical significance of the building. Whew, some of those didn’t age very well! Very similar vibe to the example you shared.

@brian@hoosier.social avatar

Jasper #Indiana is featured on the latest episode of the 99% Invisible podcast for the role played in the introduction of the in-sink garbage disposal.

"In the middle of the 20th century, the small town of Jasper, Indiana did something that no other city had done before: they made garbage illegal. The city would still collect some things, like soup cans and plastics, but yucky junk, like food waste, wouldn’t get picked up."

@xanthidiumwewahitchkense

They sorta addressed that question, mentioning how garbage disposals aren't as common in other places (specifically, east coast, as a result of older pipes & infrastructure).

Pricey, but this would be nice to consolidate chargers on my nightstand.

I bought this same Belkin for my wife and it is very nice. I still had the charging cables for my watch and phone on my nightstand and didn’t think I needed one until I saw how convenient hers was! I got a cheap knock-off and, honestly, love it just as much. It is actually a little more compact but just as handy. Either way, make sure you have a MagSafe case.

I'm taking a grad school classes for my #MSIT degree at #PurdueGlobal - it is a remote class, so we are required to make posts on a forum, then post two responses to others.

Annnd, one of my cohort obviously used bad AI saying nothing to make his initial post summarizing an article.

"The implementation of the BI Agile starts from the start, which should be considered a key element of the successful BI project."

So, I posted on his thread, asking him to explain his summary.
