SUNDAY10/25 2:05PM-it turns out that our Google Assistant can also function as a Bluetooth speaker… naturally, the sound quality is far from optimal – but I don’t care, it was just the idea that it’s supposed to work as a speaker if you want it to…I think I paired it with my iPhone, so it will play whatever iTunes songs I have ON my phone… there are a few things that I can only do when Dianne is at work in the office; using the Google Assistant to play music is one of them...I can also play Music from the youTube phone app...I subscribe to the Phish channel and I can also listen to my playlists (SLR for example, or Favorites). I think I'm gonna get more headphone adapters--I think I have TWO, but I can only find one--so far...
And of course, I can "share" everything that's on my iPhone to the TV...I keep coming back to the idea that I'm living with technology that would freak my Mother out if she could suddenly come back to Life...
Using CORNFLAKE GIRL (from Soundstage) as a test case, on the iPhone, thru youTube, it sounds OK...thru my iTune Library it sounds better than OK...after all that ruminating over streaming systems, I'm just gonna stay with iTunes and youTube...and I still have Spotify (free with ads) on the laptop and iPhone...
It would seem I've gone tech crazy, almost...
MONDAY 10/26/2020 12:40AM-I just got done watching some videos on the TV that were coming from my phone… That was interesting; mostly what I watched was me playing guitar with people… A past life you might say...
9:13AM--gonna take a shower shortly, then go see the Doctor...I DON'T expect to be home before Noon, so it may be a fairly late lunch...oh well...
7:21PM--whatever I wrote after coming home from the Doctor' office is gone--I dunno why...I made it home by 12:30 and was napping by about two thirty...it took awhile for me to find out how much I owe on my BB Visa and when it's due...sheesh...
7:48PM--naturally I forgot that info and can't fucking retrieve it...
I'm hoping the TWO pills I took will mellow me out more than a little...
9:37PM--I think they have, and that's a good thing...
TUESDAY 10/26/2020 10:30AM-well, I contacted Citi Bank about my Best Buy credit card Account…I got it all straightened out – I think... I have a new user ID, which was part of the problem I was having I guess… I’m going to celebrate my technological victory by going to Safeway and buying real cheese… It’s not much of a celebration but that’s the way it is...
11:23AM--Dianne might not think so, but *I* think I'm getting more and more senile or the Alzheimer's is getting worse...They may be two different things for all *I* know...I sctually got a bit confused in Safeway... I was looking for pre-packaged cheese, but I was in the Seafood section...very embarrasing...I guess I had the Giant layout in my head...
And I'm still battling the TV and/or my iPhone for control with regard to mirroring...whatever...*I* think the Samsung remote is too small..I can't change its' size or the size of my hands...oh well...But it's a pretty good day otherwise...
9:23PM--Phish school is out for now...I suspect it will start up again tomorrow...there's so much Official Phish...The unofficial stuff (youTube videos) is gonna have to wait...
I don't think I can stay up past Midnight and I don't want to...I might not make it to Midnight...perhaps watching THE WEST WING is one of the reasons...I might be able to manage more than an hour of TV watching now, but I think I'll switch to Star Trek TOS...
