I really enjoy watching the Manning brothers version of Monday Night Football on ESPN2. It might be a sign that I watch too much football that I appreciate a different broadcast style for one of the games.

All of a sudden all of what I have written and published today on my Old School blog today has disappeared. Not good.

I am having a problem with my iPad Mini in that links to web sites that should load from other apps like email do not load. The problem also affects the ability to load hotel captive portal pages, which means I can’t connect this iPad to the Internet in some hotels. Does anyone know what might be going on?

Something is not right in Drummerland, my Old School blog is refusing to build. Posted an issue. Writing this here via Drummer to confirm integration with micro.blog is still working.

Last year the Earth spacecraft OSIRIS-REX touched asteroid Bennu and collected rocks. As of last June the spacecraft was 328,000 miles away from Bennu on its return flight to Earth. She is due to deliver the asteroid sample to Earth on September 23, 2023.

When I compare the Pixel 6 to my Pixel 4a the differences in the camera really jump out. I confess that given the price and the features that if I were in the market for a new phone I would be buying the Pixel 6. BTW, I really like that Google provides a way to compare the current and new Pixel phones with the old Pixels, all the way back to the first Pixel. Wish they would include the Nexus phones for comparison. I wasn’t expecting to find the Pixel 6 so attractive.

My main beef with the Pixel 6 is that it is a tad too large. The largest phone I have carried is the Nexus 6P, which was 6.27 inches tall and a little over 3 inches wide, and while I got used to it I always felt it too large. When Google released the Pixel 2 I frankly couldn’t switch fast enough because it was 5.74 inches tall and a little skinnier at 2.74 inches wide. The Pixel 4a I now carry has the same physical size with a larger screen that I find perfect. Sadly, the Pixel 5a is now the smallest Google phone at 6.1 inches and the new Pixel 6 is at 6.2 inches. I have never carried a phone as large as the new Pixel 6 Pro that is 6.5 inches tall. I fear we may never see a sub 6 inch Pixel phone again, but at least the larger phones have larger batteries.
