When Connection Becomes Currency: Why I'm Walking Away - J.D. Hillen A personal reflection on how my relationship with social media has evolved over the years, and why Iโ€™ve decided itโ€™s time for a change.

This is my final transmission...

just a heads upโ€ฆ

Iโ€™m a 42 year old, disenfranchise, angry elder millennial, watching the world crumble around me, who also just finished rewatching Breaking Bad.

The world is lucky Iโ€™m not that good a chemistry.

itโ€™s creeping in on the sides and I donโ€™t like it. But the wife did so I guess itโ€™s ok.

Logan had his first tackle football game yesterday. This kid played all over the field on both offense and defense, made plays, got a sack and a wide open touchdown! Heโ€™s going to marry a Pop Star!

Cynical, sure, but it took me way too long to realize that in America your gifts are not enough unless you can monetize them. Your artistry, your creativity, your wild impulses that give life real meaning, they are unvalued unless assessed through the cold calculus of profit and loss.

and Iโ€™ve been a fan since adrenaline. Fun Fact - Deftones were my first concert I ever went to.

I feel the same. Decent but god damn is Stephen Carpenter the laziest guitarist in metal. 90% of this album is just two chord songs.

There is but Iโ€™m cheap. Plus Iโ€™m onsite for work so I wonโ€™t be spending time in my room. I just need a place to crash. And poop.

Iโ€™ve used it a few times to make presentations for work things and it does a pretty great job. Especially since they were throw away presentations. Wouldnโ€™t use it for my talks though. Iโ€™d still rather build that myself.

Not all work travel is glamorous. Iโ€™m currently in a Best Western in South Carolina that is under construction with a green pool. ๐Ÿคฎ

I had to look this up. I see what they are doing. Definitely benefits Synology financially. Iโ€™m a little torn honestly. I didnโ€™t know they did this.

Itโ€™s come in very handy over the years. Plex. Hosting things. Automating things. Itโ€™s been one of the best tech things Iโ€™ve purchased.

I would start with how much space you are thinking first, then decide on the drives, then the Synology NAS device. They make all kinds so there is one for you.
