Imagine you’ve got a mini-split air conditioner. Now, imagine you’re me, and don’t want to have to get up to use a remote control to change temperatures or turn it on.
(more…)When classic Jazz and vinyl mix, everyone wins
It’s been a hard year.
To help keep myself sane I’ve started listening to Jazz on vinyl. It’s a type bit of middle-aged dad pretension that people make jokes about but there is just something about the experience.
