    I have a smallpox scar on the back of my arm and I didn’t even know it was there.

    We got the shots in school and I have faint memories of the Jet Injector. Most scars of people my age are on the side of the arm up near the shoulder. I didn’t have one so for years I assumed I didn’t get the vaccine or my memory of it was wrong.

    Then one day in the shower my girlfriend pointed it out. It’s around the backside of the arm and hard to see in a mirror - but it’s there.

    I feel kind of special having it as it isn’t that common these days.



  • I have a projector hooked to a Win10 computer in my living room. I also have another computer on the network stuffed full of music and videos. I’ve shared these media folders as read only on the network. I use a small wireless keyboard and trackpad to drive it (Logitech K400). I play the video files in VLC. The music I usually just use winamp. Super simple.

    In the past I’d tried using the media center servers like MediaPortal, Plex, etc. They’re pretty, but I found them to be more problematic than just browsing files in directory. I also watch youtube stuff from time to time so I just open a browser on the WIn10 computer.

    The girlfriend sometimes gets a Netflix account for a few months at a time and we watch via a browser instead of using a smartTV app.

    I’ve been doing this for years and it works well for us.
