For some time, I’ve been debating on “changing the brand” (if you could call it a brand) away from Eureka!  It was originally supposed to be a food blog back in the day.  So for me the idea of Eureka! was tied to the California state motto of “I found it!”  Clearly a clever whimsical play on words and meaning on finding food.  The state motto is related to the California Gold Rush era whereas traditionally the term Eureka! is attributed to the anecdote of Archimedes discovering the concept liquid volume displacement of a solid.

But it’s evolved into a personal blog of mine where I share my random thoughts, coffee addiction, and any thing I find either interesting, outrageous or thought provoking.  I also use all my social media accounts in this fashion as well.  And because of this evolution, the idea of Eureka! didn’t really make sense anymore.  So I spent quite a long time thinking of a clever blog name but none of the ideas really really reflected the type of blogging I was doing.  But do you know what did make sense?  FELIX!  Yea… original…

Perhaps an effect of the work from home requirements, I’ve been somewhat dissatisfied about my current mix of USB cable situation.  I started to categorize all the various cables, cable lengths, and USB Type connectors currently in my cable box.  At the same time, I also frivolously decided that nylon braided USB cables sparks joy (maybe?) over the current PVC wrapped cables.  The 6ft and 10ft braided cables I had bought a few years ago have held up pretty well.  They’re nice to touch and are definitely much more flexible than the PVC wrapped ones.

The result?  I have these new braided cables (not all shown) while also keeping most of the wall chargers, USB hubs, and travel adapters.

In just a matter of a few days, after Bay Area’s announcement, LA County and LA City has also initiated similar “Safer at Home” order.  LA also has a website that provides advice and information for residents.  Shortly after, California also issued a similar “Stay at Home” order as well.

So… what is “Safer/Stay at Home”? Vogue has an article you can read.  It’s fairly informative and very California-centric.  Let’s all do our part to minimize the effects of spreading COVID-19.

On a lighter note, if you work from home and use Zoom or similar teleconferencing software:

I recently stumbled upon a very informative YouTube video that talks about this blog post that talks about COVID-19/Coronavirus spread.  It’s worth a read… and since you’re probably working from home… might as well spend some time reading right?
