It is, at least in-name-only, summer in Ohio. It’s June, which means that EMN2’s channel lineup is EMN Flashback. Mandy and I spent a lot of time on our most-recent vacation deciding on a great new list of movies to add to the channel, and I can say that our tweaks have been a major success so far. You may be wondering what those tweaks are! Well, you’ll have to wait a little longer, because…I need to update the Programming Guide pages still. It’s Sisyphean.
That’s not the only big change we’re working on for EMN and our website! Time will tell if any of these things actually get done, but I actually have some articles I want to write! Yes, one of them is the physical media article. Look…it’s a lengthy process, okay? Sheesh.
The big article idea I have in the pipe is a Travelogue for our aforementioned vacation! Yes, Mandy and I went out and did something cool by touching grass. We went to Tennessee for the first time ever, stopping in Nashville, Knoxville, and Pigeon Forge, and we had a lovely – if action-packed – time. I took around 500 photos. We climbed a mountain. It was pretty great.
They aren’t lying – those mountains are Smoky!
So, I need to complete the physical media article, I need to write this travel entry, and I need to update the Channel Lineup pages. I also have yet to unpack, I need to do the dishes, sell some extra things around the house…and instead, what do I do?
Somebody stop me.
If you guessed “use a Chromecast (to be replaced with another Pi) to display a retro weather channel that delivers accurate Ohio weather reports and a little channel guide all over some smooth Japanese jazz fusion“, you’d be right! And you must have cheated.
Still, it brings me great joy. And isn’t that what life is all about?
Well, I’m done for now. Hopefully, the next update will be a productive one. Stay safe out there, and happy Pride Month from EMN. We love you!
