Let’s Ask Sinead O Conner

What app eats up most of your screen time — and do you even feel bad about it?

I went to the doctor, guess what he told me
Guess what he told me
He said, “Girl you better try to have fun, no matter what you do”
But he’s a fool

‘Cause nothing compares, nothing compares to you.

May she rest in peace. There is a subtle message in this verse from a song by Sinead O’Connor. You better have some fun no matter what you do. I’d rather love Sinéad O’Connor.. She passed away far too early, and who knows who wins in the end.

Sonos

There’s not one single app that takes all my time. In a sense there is. I have Sonos on most hours of the day.. I’m a music person and I’ll switch from jazz, to local radio, and then back to classical. I spent six hours this past weekend working with technical support hooking up a new speaker.

Language Apps

I spend approximately 45 minutes a day doing German on these App. I use others as well

WordPress

I usually write two short essays a day. Today my time is limited as I need to run errands,

Household Apps

There are now apps to control the lighting, water the garden, and organize shopping lists. I use them often.

Libby

This might be the best app ever. One can check out books out of the library and read them at your convenience.. I read books when I’m running, renew when they’re overdue

I uses Pinterest for drawing ideas and apparently I have been pronouncing it wrong.

Back to Sinead O Conner

Everyone can see what’s going on
They laugh ’cause they know they’re untouchable
Not because what I said was wrong
Whatever it may bring
I will live by my own policies
I will sleep with a clear conscience
I will sleep in peace

Without TikTok, Face Book and People Magazine

It doesn’t matter all that much if we use our time wisely and some apps allow us to do live life a little more efficiently.

Because we all die in the end. Sinead o Conner far too soon.

Have a great day as I put on my Garmin watch and head out for a run. Oops just checked the weather app as it is going to be a warm one.

    I hadn’t even thought of Libby as an app, but of course it is! I seem to sort the best thing away from the category. Sinead’s voice, so touching.

    What a thoughtful and deeply reflective post. 🎵📚

    I loved how you wove together music, technology, language learning, reading, and everyday life into one meaningful reflection. Your tribute to Sinéad O’Connor was especially moving. Her songs carried both vulnerability and strength, and the lyrics you shared remind us that, even in life’s challenges, we should never forget to seek moments of joy.

I would love to hear you opinion as well

His friends observe Mark seems wired a little differently. Perhaps it’s more likely that noticing little things often missed by others is a relic of a quieter, simpler time. He has a way with words, which he refuses to let be hindered by sub-par typing skills. People have great stories to tell if you sit and listen.

A belief dear to Mark is that there is certain beauty in the world. You simply have to look for it.
