Ran in place to various YouTube videos. Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, flax meal, cacao nibs, toasted shredded coconut, toasted slivered almonds, diced half banana; hot water. Continued reading Tony Fadell's Build on Amazon Kindle web reader. Worked from home. Began using HotHands insole foot warmers when working from home since I was reluctant to reinvest in new VB20S batteries for my six-year-old 3Volt heated smart slippers since they worked but not as well as I had imagined. The HotHands insole foot warmers work a tad too well for thinner socks, so I switched to thicker socks so that it wasn't too hot. Siteimprove linkchecking and policy work, including manually adding Gartner Lab to all active policies because Siteimprove provides no easier way. Read CSS Layout News #343. Edited Oni-Orison Lab content draft for Michael D. Lunch at home with Patrick: we ate leftovers from his dumplings lunch yesterday. I also had a bowl of shrimp wonton soup from frozen. HotHands insole foot warmers lasted about 9 hours, just like it claims. Dinner at home with Patrick: delivery from Little Original Joe's: caesar salad, medium California Dreamin' pizza (bbq sauce, mozzarella, smoked gouda, bbq rotisserie chicken, pickled jalapeño, red onion, cilantro) with no pickled jalapenos. Delivery was extra quick and all food was delicious. Water and white wine to drink. I began removing Logitech Z906 speakers and wall mountings and relocated the standalone DVD player from the bottom to the top of the bookshelf. Patched holes in walls. We ate pizza while watching Schmigadoon! (Schmicago) s2:e4 on Apple TV+ then The Mandalorian s3:e8 (season finale) on Disney+. Patrick washed dishes and went to bed. I finished speaker work for now. Installed SEP RU6. While doing the speaker work today I stumbled across an interesting feature that we were unable to do in our previous audio setup with the Logitech Z906 speakers. Our 4th-generation Apple TV can play to the TV speakers simultaneously with the HomePod. Now most built-in TV speakers are terrible, so you normally wouldn't want to do this, but we have headphones plugged in to the TV, and this feature enabled the same Apple TV sound to output to the HomePod and to our wired headphones simultaneously. I am pretty sure that with the Z906 it was either the Z906 speakers or the headphones and never both at the same time. Why might you want this? Normally you wouldn't, but I thought it was interesting that it was possible when before HomePod I'm guessing it wasn't.
