Something A Bit Different -- Nothing About The Bakken -- November 26, 2023

Locator: 46183MUSIC.

I probably would have skipped this and completely missed something pretty amazing, had the intro not mentioned "Nashville," where our granddaughter currently resides. 

This is the video:

Apparently he does this all the time -- inviting someone from the audience to record with him. One can find similar videos with other walk-ons by searching YouTube.

This is Døvydas:

Dovydas Maščinskas (born September 5, 1992), better known as Døvydas (or DOVYDAS aka; Revelstar Stellonaut, and previously known as David Smash), is a Lithuanian-born musician, composer, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist.

Best Buy Apple Discounts -- Wow! November 26, 2023

Locator: 46182CYBERMONDAY.

Cyber Monday began at 7:00 p.m. CT Sunday evening and will run for 24 hours.

At The Verge, Apple Air Tags.

At MacRumors

I have the 13-inch M1 MacBook Air -- bought it back in 2022 or thereabouts during a flash sale and got it for that price ($750). I use it occasionally; my workhorse is an older model 13-inch Intel MacBook Air (128 GB):


That 15-inch M2 MacBook Air for just less than $1,000 is incredibly tempting, but there's no way I could justify it. Could be a gift to a high school graduate headed off for college next year.

For parents new to all this: no college student needs the Pro. The Air is more than enough. No matter what your kids tell you. Exception: engineering majors headed to MIT or Caltech, and even then I would question that.

Page View Counts -- November 26, 2023

Locator: 46181B.

Later, December 4, 2023, 11:00 p.m. CT: 17,275,956

  • 17,275,956 - 17,260,939 = 15,017
  • 8 full days plus a few hours = 15,017 / 8 = 1,877 page views / day (24 hours)

November 26, 2023, 5:40 p.m. CT

I used to check the pageview data on a regular basis. I haven't checked it in several years, so I was curious.

I'll come back in 24- 48 hours and see what "we're" doing now. The last time I checked, a couple of years ago, was down to 2,800 pageviews / day.

As a very, very rough estimate:

  • this blog was started October 25, 2009
  • this is November 26, 2023
  • so, 30 days plus 14 years = 30 +5110 = 5,140 days.
  • 17,260,939 / 5,140 = an average of 3,358 page views / day over fourteen years.

We'll see what the current "rate" is.

We're Already In A Recession -- Charlie Munger -- November 26, 2023

Locator: 46176ECON.

What does an investor do when the economy is in a recession? Hoard cash.

Record: another source confirms one-day record.

Whether they jostled through brick-and-mortar stores or toggled between tabs and virtual carts, holiday shoppers were eager to participate in Black Friday this year.
Both in-store and online retail sales increased year-over-year unadjusted for inflation, according to Mastercard’s SpendingPulse insights, which noted that apparel, jewelry and restaurant categories saw considerable spikes.
In-store sales jumped a little more than 1%, while e-commerce led the charge with an increase of 8.5%. However, Sensormatic Solutions, which tracks shopper traffic at brick-and-mortar stores, found that visits on Black Friday were up 4.6% from 2022. This is a turnaround for retailers, the company said, as foot traffic has been down an average of 2.4% this year.
“Though we anticipated an increase, in-store shopper traffic outperformed our expectations,” Grant Gustafson, head of retail consulting and analytics at Sensormatic, said in a statement.
“Consumers are again finding joy in brick-and-mortar shopping, seeing it as an experience to be shared with loved ones. It’s a testament to the hard work retailers have done to streamline journeys and deliver satisfying experiences.”
Adobe Analytics, which tracks US online shopping, reported a record $9.8 billion in Black Friday sales, up 7.5% from 2022, driven by surging demand for electronics such as televisions, smart watches and audio equipment. Most shoppers did their browsing and buying on their phones, with mobile purchases accounting for $5.3 billion in sales. Adobe expects that purchases made through smartphones this holiday season will overtake those made by desktops for the first time.

 What next? Destination entertainment. Something on-line shopping can't match.

Why do I even bother to shop at Walmart when I can get same day delivery at Amazon?

  • bored at home; want to get out
  • a social outing; humans are social animals;
  • shopping with Sophia; instant gratification; an afternoon outing;
  • see what's new
  • human instinct: hunting and gathering  
  • brick-and-mortar retailers, like museums, are curators
  • see, touch, feel, compare, imagine
  • sushi doesn't travel well
