THURSDAY 10/22/2020 12:19PM--the Geek Squad guy just left...We now have a "smart" TV...we can (and did) watch youTube on it...and the recommendation is that we use the phone app to operate it...we can watch Amazon Prime vids--the recommendation is that we only use ONE Amazon Prime account...I guess MINE is the one that will be deleted, which (hopefully) doesn't matter...and as a bonus, the DVD player is back!!! THAT is a big deal to me...
8:06PM--just watched some youTube videos on THE TV...wow...
9:14PM--and although I can (possibly) listen to iTunes on the TV, I don't wanna pay $10 a month...and it wouldn't sound like what I'm used to--earbuds connected to the laptop...youTube Music also would cost $10 bucks a month...
11:28PM--I also checked out Gooogle Music and (for the tablet) Amazon Music...I'm satisfied/happy with iTunes...I re-equalized the sound coming from the Smart TV although I won't know if it sounds "better" until I hear Music and/or crank it up a bit...I believe I tweaked the picture a bit--or not, I just have to get used to it...
FRIDAY 10/23/2020 9:35AM--the new TV is sooo cool, especially when coupled with my phone...I really like watching/listening to youTube w/o earbuds--my ears are ringing more than enough, thank you very much...
6PM--we went to Unique Thrift Shop this morning...I bought a pair of jeans...Dianne bought (because I told her about it) all TEN DVD box sets of FRIENDS...for about $40 bucks total...they go for $135 on Amazon...
11:25PM--I'm trying to find a reason to buy an iPad, but I can't...but I DO wanna go get new/different/better earbuds...
SATURDAY 10/24/2020 7:46AM--I briefly had ZEN COLORING on my phone, but that was impractical, so I deleted it...I think we're going to PETSMART later...I suppose I could run into Giant and get the small pizzas I forgot yesterday...or I'll go to Safeway--it's closer/quicker...
8:33AM--had a phone problem--the ringer was off and I didn't know it...but ultimately I realized what was wrong and fixed it (whew)...
Well it looks like I finally got speech to text on my laptop... I don't think I'm going to leave the house anytime soon... I can't type an ellipsis without disconnecting the speech to type function;... OK, I'll just have to get used to this-- obviously I can't talk out loud if Dianne is sitting next to me watching television, but otherwise--YAHOO... I'll just have to get used to how it works, what it does and what it can't do... For instance I think all I have to do is click on the microphone icon at the top of the screen and I'm ready to go... And of course, I have to keep the cursor at the end of a sentence--I think...
NOON-got the new earbuds!!! listening now--THIS is the sound I wanna hear...
12:41PM-- Dianne went out by herself to an Orchard...
4:54PM--I think I might be able to do my blog on my tablet after all... I just did that sentence in "speech to text" mode...
6:53PM--AND I found out I can use the iTunes EQ on every song quickly--all I gotta do is MINIMIZE it; the minimization goes to the task bar at the top of the screen...that really comes in handy when listening to any "unofficial"recordings, be they GD or Phish...
8:11PM--Now I'm up in the office dictating to my Tablet…It seems to be working fine; The system is not perfect, which really means I don't know everything I think I need to know in order to get my thoughts down onto my blog properly...but I still have the laptop...
9:33PM--back down in the living room, watching ST-TOS on Netflix...then I'm gonna watch it on ME TV, channel 489...then I might watch ONE episode of the West Wing before going to bed...
