Re: Random thoughts/images/shit that makes you feel old thread
I had this thought while seeing clips of the US Gymnasts testifying in front of Congress: Maybe it's just because I'm old, but it just looks/feels very "unprofessional" to be reading a prepared statement/speech from your phone.

When I watched the Billie Eilish documentary, I had a similar thought about her writing lyrics down on her phone. Just too new fangled for us old folk!DaveInSeattle wrote: ↑Thu Sep 16, 2021 9:48 am I had this thought while seeing clips of the US Gymnasts testifying in front of Congress: Maybe it's just because I'm old, but it just looks/feels very "unprofessional" to be reading a prepared statement/speech from your phone.

Re: Random thoughts/images/shit that makes you feel old thread
I do audio/music engineering as a side/night gig and occasionally work in a local bedroom vocal studio. Literally every single rapper/singer I've worked with uses their phone to read the lyrics off. I'm (mostly) used to it but it's still weird to me - apparently i'm still an Analog Kid.
Re: Random thoughts/images/shit that makes you feel old thread
I've tried to do phone notes and I just can't. Maybe because the notes app is so bad and I've never tried to find a better one, but I like paper (which seems objectively bad).
Re: Random thoughts/images/shit that makes you feel old thread
I use plain old Notes iOS pretty regularly for grocery shopping at this point, and that has bled into "jotting" down random thoughts or lists of other types.
I felt aswirl with warm secretions.

OMG, me too! Mostly if someone mentions a book or movie I want to get. Then I never think to look at the note when I'm thinking of what to watch or getting a book.

Yeah and then you take notes when you're drunk and then have no idea what they mean later. Wtf is "alpaca mogwai"?

Sounds like a bitchin' watercolor.

Re: Random thoughts/images/shit that makes you feel old thread
Same. Of course mine are synched to other devices and my daughters overwrote my "books I want to read" note. So if anyone can help me remember the book I put on the list in Ann Arbor in July. It was a title similar to The Adventures of Kavalier and Clay and had a blurry building on it I think. Thanks in advance!The Sybian wrote: ↑Thu Sep 16, 2021 11:00 amOMG, me too!

Shot in the dark...
Re: Random thoughts/images/shit that makes you feel old thread
Nope, but will add it to the list.

Re: Random thoughts/images/shit that makes you feel old thread
It's definitely somewhat of a recent release. It was on a new release table I thought.

I have nothing substantial to add to this, but I read a wedding speech off of my phone at my sister's wedding 5 years ago. Thanks for reminding me I'm young!

Re: Random thoughts/images/shit that makes you feel old thread
Our fridge has an app that I used to use for shopping lists, and it was great, because my wife and I could add to the list and both have access. Samsung changed apps, and it's under my wife's password, so to access the new app, it sends an email to my wife and she has to enter the password within 3 minutes. I hate this fridge so much. When we redid the kitchen in our old house, she was pushing for it, but the contractor and appliance salesman both talked her out of it, because the majority of repair issues are tech problems, and your fridge stops working because of a software glitch. When we moved, the builder installed the same damned fridge I had to fight to avoid. OTOH, it's cool having a giant digital photo album in the kitchen, complete with a highlight reel of my daughter's soccer games, and it has cameras in the fridge so if I'm at the store, I can see what's in the fridge if I'm not sure if we need something. But, totally not worth the money and I fully expect we'll have to buy a new fridge because the computer goes. 10 year warranty, but not on the electronics.

I do some of my best creative thinking while walking through the park with the dog, so I use the Notes feature constantly.

Re: Random thoughts/images/shit that makes you feel old thread
Exactly what I did on Tuesday when I went to the bookstore trying to find this damn book! Saw another one that looked interesting, brought up my notes, then thought a picture would be much better!A_B wrote: ↑Thu Sep 16, 2021 3:38 pmI usually take a picture instead of a note in this type of case.Giff wrote: ↑Thu Sep 16, 2021 11:15 amSame.

Re: Random thoughts/images/shit that makes you feel old thread
Do you use Goodreads? YOu can scan the UPC and have the book added to a "to-read" list and then there's an addon that will look in local libraries to see if there's a copy.
Did you see that ludicrous display last night?
Re: Random thoughts/images/shit that makes you feel old thread
No, but that's changing today! They do have a list of 654 books released this year, but I can't seem to get past the first 50. I know I'll know the damn book whenever I see the cover or name.

Re: Random thoughts/images/shit that makes you feel old thread
Their website interface is screwed. You can "hack" it by just changing the page number in the URL. This would be for 51-100 and "page3" would be for 101-150 and so on and so on.Giff wrote: ↑Fri Sep 17, 2021 12:56 pmHere's the list : https://www.goodreads.com/shelf/show/coming-in-2021Giff wrote: ↑Fri Sep 17, 2021 12:17 pmNo, but that's changing today!
