Almost lost drone flying into a myst/cloud — ground sensor went crazy. Red wine also didn’t help my piloting skills.
microblog
A full stream of microposts.
If you’re ever around, Café Monteverde has delicious coffee.
Watched Scott Pilgrim yet again, it really is one of my favorite movies.
I’m back to playing with Reporter for logging/nudging myself to 2021 resolutions.
Really enjoying the California Coast Obsidian Theme.
I’m happy no appreciating Hi Fi audio. Like wines, it can be a very expensive rabbit hole.
In other words, not getting the AirPods Max. But they look amazing.
This unofficial Sublime Text 4 changelog gist is useful to keep an eye out for what’s happening on SB4 beta land.
Couldn’t unlock my Mac with the Apple Watch since WatchOS 7, this Apple Support suggestion fixed it.
Big Sur update went smoothly — other than kernelmanagerd process going crazy and staying at 80% of processor use. Turns out it was our corporate Antivirus. Had to disable it with the help of IT infrastructure until we figure out a fix.
This story about AI camera getting confused with the side ref’s bald head is too funny.
Hurricane Eta is hitting up north in Honduras/Nicaragua. Very vulnerable infrastructure.
📚 Prediction Machines added to library. Hal Varian recommends it, so past history shows I’m going to enjoy reading it, but just barely pass the exam in it. Thanks for the reco Frans.
I’m very excited about Obsidian.md plugins

I’ve always wanted to love Clips, but somehow its cute features always gets in the way. Maybe I’m just too old school.
I’m even more excited about Apple Silicon Mac’s, and they seem to be coming.
Had to reinstall Zoom on work Mac. The browser version was making me arrive late to meetings because it would send me to close to 10 (not kidding) rounds of Google’s reCAPTCHA.
The Cometeer coffee capsules look like an interesting mix of ideas.
I’m going down the eGPU rabbit hole… again.
I’ve said it before, but it’s worth repeating: one of the toughest challenges every parent faces is cleaning a toddler car seat.
After 225 days, we’re back home in Costa Rica.
Boarding the Costa Rica flight has been as stressful as anticipated — it paid to be extra careful with the required documents.
Everyone is horrified. But I can totally see the use-case for Amazon’s home camera drone.
Vitamin D Day
Happy birthday to my forever princess.

🎥 Dune Official Trailer. I really wish this is delayed so I can watch it on a movie theater.
💾 Happy that Mimestream is getting some love in HN, it’s amazingly fast. If it had snooze support (Gmail API limitation, not theirs) it would likely be my default email client.
The lack of any mention of today’s Apple rumors from the usual suspects tells me there’s some sort of embargo going on. We’ll know in 15min!
💾 Is It Snappy? is the App equivalent of getting a magnifier as a kid. I’m now measuring the response latency of everything.
🎙My Dad reminded me of this great Moth’s story A.E. Hotchner: The Day I Became A Matador
📚 Really enjoyed How Innovation Works: Serendipity, Energy and the Saving of Time by Matt Ridley. Will revisit my notes in a few day, but I nodded almost all the way until it connected some thoughts with Brexit. Which was uncomfortable in a great way.
