The Workshop

Yesterday, I took the first steps toward creating something very special, something that...well, something that will span across this year and all the years that remain: The Workshop of INTJBill—I am SO gonna have to make a sign with that! I dropped, I don't know, $2600 into tools to recapture the spirit of what was to ignite the fires of what will be. And it looks like I'll be picking up a Harbor Freight membership shortly—and I don't even have a lick of a tool cabinet unlike my prior iteration when I had that Craftman's rolling delight. I've got ideas for a WAY cheaper solution. Just lemme at that wood! Oh, don't let me get ahead of myself! That will be rolling out later this year.

Oh, The Workshop has been sorely missed in my life! From the emergence of my weightloss project to the subsequent banishment of sawdust, to this relegation to Walking in Memphis in the footsteps of yesteryear, it has been too far long—almost seems like a lifetime ago! Sure, I can tool around with this website and do a thing or two. I might even toss in a smattering of words to capture a thought. But, I feel most alive when I create with my hands.

In time, I'll be sharing my woodworking project of the month.

All-in With Google

While I said my final goodbye to Facebook (and I had to delete every single post and delete every single person to pull myself away), I am doubling down on Google. I've purchased a year's worth of YouTube Premium for YouTube Music. In time, I hope to recreate past Expeditions playlists and will link them here.

Spotify has an advantage product because of its push to user-generated playlists. That said, Spotify cannot give me Rock Sugar's Roll You in the Hurricane in a playlist!

And because of YouTube, I ran across Sandi Thorn's November Rain, which I think might be more emotionally hitting than the original. And while she's Scottish, I'd have never guessed it! She's reminiscent of Trisha Yearwood.

Lastly, I punched up my Google One storage to 200 GB and have something like 400-something days ahead with them.

This is a new era. A new era of artificial intelligence art. The Tech Noir is NOW.
