Things are on track today for a good start to the weekend. We are going to get some snow later today around the time the Colorado Avalanche play some hockey. Right now I have had breakfast and am ready to sit down and write for a little bit before transitioning into some type of research note project. I’ll be able to watch a couple of NFL games today on ABC as well. I’m looking forward to a low key day of just progressing forward without having to do anything substantial or outside the house event driven. Sometimes it is nice to just enjoy that low key day and be ok with that happening. My standard writing routine on the weekend is to spend the start of each day working deeply on some type of research note. 

I ordered some new speakers for my desk. Earlier this morning I found out the shipping has converted to the ever disappointing, “The delivery date will be provided as soon as possible.” They are in transit somewhere near the middle of the United States being delivered at a now indeterminate time. They were supposed to arrive today in the afternoon. It was going to be delightful. I’m very particular about what type of speakers I use on a daily basis and finally making the decision to upgrade was a big one. More updates to come on this one as the saga continues and the new speakers eventually arrive. My guess is that it will be sometime next week. 

Instead of doing the best possible research this morning I might have logged into World of Warcraft on my MacBook and played a new character for like 15 minutes. I gained a couple of levels and then gave up playing. That happens from time to time. My weekend video game of choice remains a couple of runs in Diablo II: Resurrected. That does require booting up my main workstation. At the moment, the entire workstation is totally powered off at the actual power switch on the back of the power supply. It’s possible that I’m going to go ahead and boot up the Windows machine as resurrected is not available for Mac. I know that some people do use an emulator to play the game, but that sounds exhausting and it would be much easier to just power on the other computer. 

I built out a Categories page for the weblog that seems to be working well enough. Both the Categories page and the RSS feed are now linked in the footer as icons. I’m not sure if either of those things is super useful anymore, but I did complete that work for the weblog.
