My Phone is Getting Android 10!

We all know that phone and device manufacturers like to cycle out to the ether of “obsolete” devices that are not terribly old. Well, I was excited when my phone got Android 9, but today I got the notification –just a few minutes ago actually– that there was a pending update to Android 10. Now I was impressed…mainly from the point that the S9+ that I have could get it, but moreso that Verizon did let it get it OTA.

I waited a few minutes to post until after the update to be absolutely sure it worked, and it seems like it has.

Here’s to a positive change with devices for once in a long time.

CoD Season 2 out now!

Season two of Call of Duty (CoD) is out. My friends reminded me a couple of days ago about it, and so I fired up the ‘ol Xbox and started downloading… it’s a whopping 70GB! At that moment, we were having a brief Internet issue so I was getting a megabyte or so vs the couple hundred I usually get, and so I said nope and shut it down (was doing school work and house DIY stuff anyway).

Yesterday when I got home I kicked off the download after confirming speeds were good. It was fully downloaded/installed when I checked it later in the night.

I haven’t played yet, but I’m excited to see what it contains. I’ve seen leaks and the CoD website, but I mean firsthand.

Until next time,

Andrew

Welcome (Back) to My Blog!

Welcome (Back)!

It has been a long time since I’ve written a blog post, and an even longer time since I’ve really wanted to blog. I’m back in college and a particular course I’m taking right now requires weekly journal entries, so that kind-of stirred back up the desire to blog. I’ve had blogs — many as you’ll read below — and I’ve been active and inactive over different seasons in life. I think I’m at a point where blogging is a good hobby to pick (back) up.



What Will I Find?

Similarly to my prior blog posts, you’ll find a varied amount of content — things about work, school, home, and yes, even politics and religion. The whole point of the blog title I’ve kept all these years is that this is about me, who I am, and what’s going on in my life.



A Quick Blog History

I made the decision this morning to reinstate my blog on WordPress. Nothing against Google (I love them, and they my information), but Blogger is one of those many applications Google could have made a shining star, but they’ve neglected to make any significant updates to it. Why am I mentioning Blogger? Well, in the many years I’ve been online I’ve equally had many blogs on WordPress (.com and .org) and Blogger. I got away from WP for a while when I had to cut ties financially with my own web hosting and started using Blogger. Well, all of that is over, I’m back on WordPress and have consolidated all my blogs together — a new, active one and the old posts in a separate, but identical looking archive blog. You’ll notice two categories at the old blog: OB1 and OB2 (meaning old blog 1 and old blog 2). The first category is my very first WP blog (which itself was condensed a long time ago), and the second category is my Blogger blog. This is only to distinguish the historical postings with new posts, which are categorized as NB (for new blog). Plus, this makes it feel much more succinct (even with gap-years) because it’s all me.

The TL;DR version: Go to the my archived blog to read my old posts and subscribe to this blog for all new posts.



Thank you for stopping by. I hope you’ll subscribe and come back!
