I've been off of Tumblr for a month because I haven't been able to watch SPN, and of course the backlog grows. And I haven't even used it to increase my productivity! I did watch Shadowhunters, though, and fall further in love with Brooklyn 99 and The Good Place, so there's that.

This review of the Chromebox/Chromebook got me slightly interested and might be of interest to those looking for a cheap computer, even though I haven’t been able to log in to my pro account on Chrome in weeks and have been reduced to using IE to blog because of Chrome’s infinite redirect loop when I try to log in. (Yes, I have cleared my cache and restarted my computer. There may be more that I could do, but the fact that I have to do it is indictment enough in my opinion.)
