Reno
A short trip to Reno this past weekend. Stayed at the J Resort, my new favorite.
I don't see enough people mourning over the slow death of physical media. And I don't just mean TV shows, video games, or movies--which don't even get me started about how we don't really 'own' anything anymore. It includes notes, journals, and letters to one another...so much of our history is lost when we lose a password, a website goes down, a file/hardware is corrupted, or a platform disappears. History that doesn't seem important until you no longer have access to it. Physical media does a lot for memory recall. How many memories will we lose because we don't have something tangible to tie it back to? Something to hold in our hands and stir up those memories we thought were once lost? Sometimes I wonder what the difference between burning a book and losing access to physical media is when someone can pull the plug and remove your access so easily.

It’s backyard season again. And, I could not be happier about it.
The view from the office window sometimes reminds me that I shouldn’t take things for granted. It reminds me to see the beauty in simple things, small things, moments.
I caught myself staring out the window when I arrived to work this morning. And, it made me pause. It encouraged me to appreciate some of people in my life, and some recent events.
I don’t want to go into detail about those people and recent events that fluttered through my mind this morning. But, maybe this quote sums it up:
Life is inevitable. Suffering is optional.
