Got my NEW new Ubuntu Laptop - Tom Ray's Day 200928

I had ordered a new Ubuntu Linux laptop for video editing but the one I originally got while it had tons of RAM for what I needed the battery would only last about 3 hours?!

A person I know on twitter had just ordered one from the same company and was posting about how the battery life was fantastic. So I thought I would give it one more try and ordered the model he got.

It had less RAM but it was enough to do what I wanted. So I'll see how this one goes. I'm sure it will be fine. Yeah, it'll be fine.

Here is the video of when I got the last one https://youtu.be/__xzJ6dLmaE

Then I stop by my train car like I have been the past year to see if they hooked up the electricity yet.

Plus, at the end of the video, I draw my daily autobiographical webcomic.

How I use one Gmail address for multiple Soundcloud accounts

Do you know the Gmail "+" trick to use one email for multiple accounts on one service? Here's a little trick I use that works for any service. I talked about this on the podcast episode I did with artist Mortimur K . In this case, let's say I used up all the uploads I have for my free Soundcloud account . With this trick, I can open a new free account and use the same Gmail address. I don't want to create another Gmail account to sign up again. Using my one Gmail address for multiple accounts on the same service I don't remember when I learned this but you can alter the name on a Gmail address. Like, let's say mine is "tom@gmail.com". To be clear that is not my email. I wish it was, but this is just a short example. Start with the original Gmail address Add a "+" after the email name Where it says "tom" on the address I can put a "+" after that. Add a "+" after the email name After that "+" I ca...

Artwork for the original Candy Land game by Milton Bradley from 1955.

I have a vintage Candy Land game from 1955 by Milton Bradley and I was about to sell it so I thought I would add it to my personal art history course concept I've been doing . I'm going to try and see if I can find out how this game was created, designed and why? Here is what I found out about this game https://candy-land.fandom.com/wiki/Candy_Land_Wiki Candy Land is a board game about children exploring a world made out of candy and other sweets that originally came out in 1949. In every version of the game, there are a group of children that go through Candy Land. In the earliest versions of the game, it was a realistically drawn boy and girl. Drawing of the Candy Land kids I did on my phone ☝ https://board-games-galore.fandom.com/wiki/Candy_Land The game was designed in 1948 by Eleanor Abbott , while she was recovering from polio in San Diego, California.
