Package 1 of 2

Package one has arrived. It is another exciting unpacking day here at our headquarters.

EVH BOX

We’re expecting another package sometimes next week.

EVH WOLFGANG SPECIAL RED WHITE BLACK

We might get the third package if we can make the deal with the vendor.

Showing No Mercy!

I preordered Slayer’s “Show No Mercy” 40th Anniversary Edition, Liquid “blood” filled vinyl directly from Metal Blade Records shop. It was priced at $199.99 + sales tax; and friend thought that I was crazy. I’m a huge fan of Slayer and it’s worth the price.

Shortly after the preorder was sold out, numerous posting on eBay priced this limited edition vinyl at $999.99 and supposedly sold out too. I do despise eBay scalpers. They shouldn’t be allowed to resell preorders.

Now that the actual product is delivered, the price has gone down to $800.00 and $699.00 on eBay.

Scalpers are profiting from true fans.

Grape Tomato Cat

We bought some Grape Tomatoes earlier today.

As usual, it only took a few seconds after we set the box down.

She might look scraggly, you would have understand that because she is at least 20 years old.

Three Years to the Day

The failure to recognize history would be the downfall of human existence. We human are hardwired to self-destruct, as James Hetfield said.

We think it is easy to rewrite our memories through denial and ignorance. What we do and what we are doing about it will determine what we will do.

It is a lot easier to revert to our primal selves and throw away the progress we made as civilized society. we will only fool ourselves if we do that.

What happened in days of the past should guide us in the days to come.

UVC Water Bottle

I finally bought a UVC Water Bottle. I have not used it yet, as it is currently being charged.

I remember when the idea was pitched in KickStarter.

What is the safety of such product?

Since this is a relatively new product, I always proceed with caution.

New Guitar Strap

New guitar strap came in the mail today. It is Fender Modern Tweed Guitar Strap. It is a little bit thinner than Dunlop Classic Tweed Guitar Strap.

Dunlop Classic Tweed and Fender Modern Tweed Guitar Straps

I like these Tweed Guitar Straps, as I find them comfortable. That’s my personal preference.

Going 2.5 Gbps

I’m installing a 2.5 Gbps switch ( TP-Link TL-SG108-M2, 8 Port 2.5 Gigabit Switch) at my home office. I would go with 10 GBPs switch but it is still way too expensive and generating excessive heats.

I’m expecting some improvements for devices that support Wifi 6e.
