<li>the studio i did my teacher training at closed down and became a core power
<li>that one weird tiny barre / yoga studio a friend / colleague of mine helped manage that one time for what felt like just a couple months
<li>the small privately owned studio that sold to a local chain, and then the local chain imploded and closed all their locations during the covid lockdowns
<li>the boutique athletic club by my house closed down, so i started teaching at the location by my office, and then that one closed down too

<![CDATA[
<li>macbook pro 15-inch 2018: personal laptop, main driver. i fucking hate this keyboard, and i dislike the touchbar, and i miss having standard usb ports and an hdmi port. i can't believe i've been angry about this computer for five years now..
<li>pinebook pro 14-inch, 2020: my backup ARM/Linux laptop that i don't use all that much. it's fun for writing, some coding, and messing around with linux and i3.
<li>freewrite traveler: a small e-ink digital typewriter gifted to me by vilm. kind of a novelty. sometimes i will draft a blog post or email on it.
<li>nintendo switch: i'm not 100% they count as "computing devices" but i'm going to include handheld consoles here as well. i got the switch for my birthday in 2022 and have been jamming on some legend of zelda: breath of the wild, and some animal crossing.
<li>playdate: the tiny 1-bit, bright yellow, handcrank, gaming device. the 'a' button got kind of stuck within a week of having it. currently waiting for them to ship a replacement. but it's cute as hell and i love it. it's 99% awesome. i wish it had some networking, and i wish you could load games on it without going through https://play.date. but i love the open development platform, and i love all the nifty weird little games that folks are making for it.
<li>iphone xs: it's a phone. i don't love phones. in fact, i kind of hate phones. they do not spark joy, and just seem like a necessity. i've had this one for a long time, replaced a broken screen instead of replacing the phone. and i might do that again. (there's a fine crack on the screen along the bottom.) the next phone i buy will likely not be an iphone. i'm just kind of over apple making crappy hardware these days. (see: "macbook pro" above. also see: i teach at a fitness studio, and i need a goddamn headphone jack please!) i'm definitely not interested in buying new. probably ever. and i am interested in hanging onto this one as long as i can mostly out of spite and to protest e-waste and consumerism.
<li>ipad: i don't even know what year or model. it's a smaller one, and an older one. a hand-me-down after p upgraded. i use it to read pdfs from my digital <abbr title="tabletop roleplaying game">ttrpg</abbr> collection, and that's pretty much it.
<li>kindle: the basic touch model with a lit screen. an upgrate after i dropped my beloved 4way-No-Touch in water and bricked it. it's pretty great! but my dream reader would be the 4-way-button with a light, no touchscreen. it's too easy to accidentally activate the touchscreen with my large clumsy man hands.
<li>mnt pocket reform: a tiny computer. it has been slow to ship! i purchased it probably over a year ago, and i still don't have it yet. but i am looking forward to slinging it into a bag or a large pocket and doing some writing/coding on the go. we'll see. the traveler hasn't really gotten me to write on the go that much. but on the other hand, the traveler isn't that super fantastic.

<![CDATA[
<li>wake up around 7:00, look at phone. helps me stay awake during that period where i'm too tired to get out of bed, but also likely to fall asleep without focusing on something. usually scroll mastodon or discord or whatever blog / article i was last looking at.
<li>morning personal laptop. 1 - 2 hours of blogging, reading, email, projects, video games. usually at my desk.
<li>work. 6 - 8 hours on company laptop. bounce between desk and chair.
<li>early evening: an hour or two on personal laptop ("funtop") on blogging, reading, email, projects, video games.
<li>late evening: time to unwind. move to couch and turn on tv. use laptop simultaneously for catching up on rss feeds, maybe some light work on projects, maybe some minecraft.
<li>bedtime. read on kindle (epubs) or ipad (pdf). maybe some light gaming on the playdate.

<![CDATA[
<li>paternal grandfather: the most stoic and soft spoken man you'll ever meet. a real sweetheart. died this weekend in his mid 90s.
<li>paternal grandmother: larger than life family matriarch. one the great loves of my life. things fell apart after she died. mid-2010s.
<li>maternal grandfather: just as tall and broad as both of my paternal grandparents were small and skinny. cheated on my grandmother with the woman who would become his first wife. brought a woman home from the war and left his wife. theirs lasted and they had tons of kids and grandkids. then when she died he went back to living with his first wife again until he died of dementia, early 2010s
<li>maternal step-grandmother: the woman from the war. knew her my whole life. very sweet woman. died late 2000s.
<li>maternal grandmother: spiteful, narcissistic, crazy as a loon. everybody loves her, but ain't nobody can stand her for that long. her daughters turned out fine but I can't hardly see how. the only one left now at the time of this writing.
<li>maternal step-grandfather: a real wiseass and a lifelong athlete. charming, handsome, and funny. he and my grandmother can't stand each other, but they insisted on staying together for some reason nobody can understand. lyme disease made him very uncomfortable and very angry later in life. died mid-2010s
