Match let me replace most of my 160 and 192k MP3 CD rips with DRM-free 256k AAC files and much less re-ripping than had I started over from scratch. (Oh, 2002… when 160k seemed so decadent!)
Approximately 1,600 music CDs in jewel cases arranged in long, tightly packed rows across the carpeted floor of a small room with one deep blue wall, two windows, beige flat files, and plastic storage drawers. From December 2012 and The Great CD Rip Upgrade Project.

My first phone camera was awful, but I wish I had taken more pictures with it (didn’t help what a pain in the ass it was to get photos off it)
A small black cat lies on her back on a man’s chest, reaching a paw around his neck as she snuggles in close. The man wears glasses and a brick-colored shirt, and the photo has a grainy, softly lit appearance because it was shot with a shitty BlackBerry camera.

I got a mid-priced laser level 11 years ago and it’s paid for itself tenfold for putting up hooks, shelves, and TVs

First hotel we couldn’t control the under-window mounted AC unit and asked at the front desk and they said “Oh, there’s a thermostat on the wall behind the lamp” which there was. Second hotel same deal, so I checked out all the walls first and finally found the thermostat, but not behind a lamp.
A hotel room thermostat mounted on a gray wall hidden behind a television. The white thermostat has a blue backlit digital display reading 72. Black TV mounting hardware and cables are visible below it, with a partially visible carbon dioxide detector mounted higher on the wall.

Even as a child I recognized that the “Death Star Plans” sticker on one of R2-D2’s “circuit boards” was a post-production kludge

If I do child’s pose with my arms tucked, Lincoln is right there to curl up with his head on my arm until my legs fall asleep and I have to roll him off
Lincoln, a male gray-and-white shorthaired tabby, rests comfortably in someone’s arms with his chin and white front paws draped over their forearm. His green eyes gaze off to the side, framed by dark tabby markings, while the person’s blue shirt fills the background.

Yes. The convention was a massive success. You beat the NFL by 80 times. Up the number of tour dates. Tell everyone they’re getting a data center in their backyard, you’ve won the war, and that gas prices are meaningless. Don’t pass a camera without throwing a stream of consciousness at it.

A screenshot from Futurama shows a bureaucrat seated in a large brown chair, wearing a brown suit and blue-tinted glasses. Filing cabinets line the background. Caption reads: “I CO-CHAIRED THE COMMITTEE THAT REVIEWED THE RECOMMENDATION TO REVISE THE COLOR OF THE BOOK THAT REGULATION'S IN. WE KEPT IT GRAY.”
