Haha. I envisioned you meticulously lining them up and spacing them evenly with a ruler. I wondered how you did the lighting because there were shadows under some pencils but not others. That should’ve been a clue that it was a composite.

My brother and I were 20 years apart. He was in the military, stationed overseas, when I was born and didn’t come home until I was 4 years old. He had his own apartment and came over for dinner on the weekends. I was a confused kid for the first couple of months. Who’s this guy eating with us every weekend? My brother? What?

We didn’t have any sort of relationship until I was in my 30s. I was shy and introverted child and he didn’t make much of an effort to interact with me. We eventually bonded over chats about raising children (his children are about 20 years older than mine) and investing.

Unfortunately, he passed away a few years ago. RIP, bro. It took awhile, but we got to be good friends in the end.

Glad you got it to work eventually. I never liked smart bulbs. I use smart switches instead (Meross works really well with HomeKit). Set the lamp’s on/off switch to the on position and plug it into the smart switch. The smart switch can be connected to HomeKit anywhere in the house. You can set it up in the kitchen, then move it to your daughter’s room.

Yes. I used to give my old phones to my kids for entertainment. Nowadays it seems like music videos are as prevalent as mp3s, so you need a decent display as well.

Denzel Washington is a good actor and that’s the only reason I watched the movies. I like the way he speaks and portrays his characters. As an action/crime drama, it’s mediocre. He’s too old to get physical so he’s scripted as a super spy. Extremely intelligent, he can use tech to track down the bad guys. In hand-to-hand combat, he anticipates every move, parries every punch, hits every pressure point to immobilize the enemy, and never misses a shot. Definitely not Bourne-level fisticuffs. Nevertheless, it’s still a fun watch.
