His last blog entry was a tough read this morning as I sit at my desk for another day at the long day factory wondering if I should be doing more with the time I have because you just never know when it is up. RIP.

I went to Wayfair and searched ceiling fans and holy moly this space has changed! I thought to myself, "I don't see these when walking through my local bigbox hardware store?" So I went to Lowe's website and fandeliers are an entire category now.

Same here. I see so many people obsessing over the latest most state of the art bleeding edge models and yelling at Google for not being there, but I feel like the vast majority of people don't actually need those models. Flash has just been super useful and incredibly fast in my experience.

I clicked the button on my Logitech M720 mouse to free spin, spun the wheel like I was on the Price is Right, and got to 791,001!

This is a funny but sad coincidence! I'll chime in the same as others, I've had tinnitus for 20+ years and I know it is all due to one event. Somedays if I am tired or stressed it gets worse, and then some days I have so much going on I don't think about it (much). But sometimes when I have a calm moment or if I am on vacation trying to relax, I really have no idea what silence sounds like anymore.

I love stories like this. A subtle reminder how inconsequential our actions are on this planet in the grand, unplanned scheme. I look forward to reading HN with my breakfast each morning then going to a job that helps me raise a family and have fun on the weekends.

I've learned to appreciate the joys of life and have come to terms that we are not here for a long time - just for a good time.
