Summer Heat


I posted this back in summer of 2020, but given the early heat in June - here in Austin, anyway - it seems like a good time to remind people about the symptoms of and remediation for various heat related illnesses.  The 2020 post also has a few tips for dealing with the heat.  


Note: I did beat the heat last weekend via proximity to the Pacific.  Not an option for every weekend, but it was a nice trip.

Internet Speeds

 My internet is running unusually slowly tonight, to the point that I can't stream a show from Amazon Prime at this time.  I was curious, so I did a speed check and it turns out I'm getting 42Mpbs from a gigabit service.  Not good.  Normally my ISP's service is good, so I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt tonight and assume they are having a rare technical difficulty.  

Anyway - the moral of this story is - if you are ever curious about your internet speed you can do a free check at Speedtest by Ookla.
