Harman Kardon SoundSticks 4 Speaker system - My father had an original SoundSticks system that was no longer working, so instead of throwing it away I asked him to give it to me, wanting to add this beautiful vintage array to my desktop setup. I sent it in to Harman Kardon for repair, and paid the $99.99 repair fee in September of 2023. Inexplicably, Harman Kardon lost the speaker system, and graciously sent me a current version of the system, the SoundSticks 4 (a $199.99 value), in exchange. Thankfully, although the Soundsticks 4 have newer tech, including Bluetooth, they look almost identical to the originals.

Email Server: Gomailify (Began use on 4/10/2026) - Gomailify is a service that allows users to connect their domains to their Gmail accounts to receive and send mail through Gmail while using their domain’s email addresses. The MX records on my domain’s DNS configuration point to Gomailify, which receives my email and places it in my Gmail inbox via Gmail’s API, which is far more reliable than forwarding. I send mail out through Gmail using Gomailify’s SMTP server.
