7.349. Thursday

I’m adjusting to some tech discomfort, shuttling back and forth between an M1 macbook and a model only a few weeks older than that one. The world apparently changed once we hit M1. I cannot expand my monitors the way I used to. I am sure there are other tech issues that materialized with M1 and onwards, but so far that is the one that stuck in my craw. Moving tech was a huge deal to me. I wanted to be able to upgrade my personal unit to the standards where I can use the software I need to and not feel like the device is going to fall apart on me. My work deck is solid, but it isn’t mine and that means it shouldn’t go everywhere I go–especially for as much as I leave the country.

So, that meant an upgrade. An upgrade means a new visual profile for the deck. I don’t know what I am doing for the interior yet, but the sticker and thus the name is going to be reflective of the S.A. Corey series The Expanse. I choose to pay homage to good fiction. In truth, it may be the best fiction I have consumed in some time–my own work included. So, I am going to have a sticker that either reflects one of the (fictional) companies in the show or something reflective of the term Legitimate Salvage. After all, what is a used computer but a legitimate salvage.

Some Thoughts:

  1. Without knowing the insider process going on at Colorado, I know that Sanders stated he was down to a few candidates for his DC position. Now that everything has shaken out, we can speculate those three are locked in at various locations now. We know that he hired Robert Livingston, the much respected secondary coach from the Bengals. We also know that Mike Zimmer, Sanders’ long time friend, is expected to sign as the Cowboys new DC. We also know that Sanders was looking at Anthony Weaver, who took a DC gig with the Dolphins. Coach Prime promised an NFL caliber guy and the three name we can openly connect with the program are all that. Livingston, last man standing, should do well. Now we wait and see if Ed Reed shows up to coach the secondary.
