This happened earlier in the month when I started putting the Christmas tree up. This is Luna's first Christmas. You can't say I don't have the patience with kittens (more of a cat these days).
Starting in early 2026, YouTube TV plans to give more flexibility to its customers by offering the ability to pick and choose from ten or more genre-specific packages over the standard base plan. This plan was announced by Christian Oestlien, Head of Subscriptions, via the YouTube official blog. Some of YouTube TV's competitors, such as Sling TV, have offered similar skinny bundles in the past and even flexibility in alternative base plan offerings. As the cost of large base packages without add-ons has risen in price, this is YouTube's way of lowering subscription costs to customers by offering smaller and genre-specific programming packages.
I love Autumn in Sioux Falls as the weather is so inviting for outdoor activities and so much going on downtown. My wife and I spent our Friday evening listening to one of our favorite local bands, Sugar Daddy. The band was playing at the downtown bar Wiley's from 7 PM to 11 PM and I was there for most of it. By the time we left the bar, the younger crowd was moving in to dance to some music via a live DJ.
It's a shame there are some politicians that will never admit that renewable energy has an important role to play in our country's energy independence. New article, but the same message I want to deliver in the midst of people claiming renewable energy doesn't work. In South Dakota we get 92% of our electricity from renewable energy. In Iowa that number is 83% and in my home stage of Kansas, it's 74%. Pretty amazing numbers if you ask me.
I have had the CD Edition of the Eversolo Play in my living room for over a month. This version of the Eversolo Play is an all-in-one that features a CD player as well as a music streamer, DAC, and amplifier in a compact and inviting form factor. While I have no regrets ordering this device for my home, there are definitely a few areas where Eversolo could have enhanced the user experience. After thirty days of usage, the Eversolo Play has left me with a mix of positive and negative impressions that we should discuss here.
Last week, my wife and I embarked on a thrilling adventure with our Can-Am Spyders. We joined a rally in Council Bluffs, where we spent the weekend with approximately a hundred fellow Spyder enthusiasts. Together, we embarked on a scenic tour of western Iowa and eastern Nebraska. In the attached image, you can see us participating in an exciting obstacle course game during the rally. Although we didn’t emerge victorious, the experience was enjoyable and will be remembered.
I spent a part of my Sunday afternoon writing only to have lost the article due to an error on the server side. I may rewrite the article on another day, but I'm too disappointed to do a repeat today.
It's my own fault as I know better. Anytime you're writing an article, save your draft many times along the writing journey. Despite having the Internet rarely eating my homework these days, I'm disappointed in myself for not following this rule of mine.
I uploaded a video on YouTube showcasing my initial reaction to the build and design of the WiiM Sub Pro after removing the subwoofer from the box. However, it’s important to note that this video is not a review as I haven’t even powered on the system or connected it to my WiiM Amp Ultra or WiiM Ultra. The video is embedded below or you can view it directly at YouTube.
Any opinions or information expressed in the video may change as I haven’t had the opportunity to review the product or write an article about it. While I intend to publish a comprehensive review in an article, I currently don’t have any plans to create a full review video.
