Lost Apple Pencil Pro on flight today. What a klutz. Might have heard a thud when I shoved iPad mini into bag, but case has the wrap around tab, so didn’t pay attention. I blame myself… and Spirit’s ungodly millimeter knee space.
microblog
A full stream of microposts.
My signing-off message to my IT Ops team: “Happy weekend, and may the server gods have mercy on our logs.”
Probably many roll their eyes, but I expect a few smiles.
Finally got WiFi to work on a 2015 13 MBP with Omarchy, and spent the afternoon testing it. It does scratch an itch. A few hours in, the tiling window manager just clicked in my brain, and I started to enjoy it. I think this is the beginning of something.
New The Hives album out. My have a great long weekend emails for those in the US might have an extra dose of passive-aggressiveness.
Whoa. Pebble Time 2 redesign details announced. I’ll be changing my Pebble 2 Duo pre-order to this for sure.
Finished Skeleton Crew with my two kids by my side shouting excitedly at the TV. The rest of the season could just had been static, and it would still be my favorite show of the year.
Happy to be in a time where there’s all kinds of new Star Wars, rather than just the “good” kind of old Star Wars.
Going all-in to Bookfusion for reading on iPhone, iPad mini, Boox Leaf 2 and (soon) Viwoods AiPaper Mini.
Migrating from a combination of Google Play Books, Apple Books and Readwise Reader (which is great but too slow on Leaf 2).
I’m very excited about the potential Return of the MacBook?. And I enjoyed this take on it.
Yep. I’m all-in on the Project Hail Mary movie based in the first trailer. www.youtube.com/watch
I’m 43. Decided that “me resbala”/“it slides off” is my mantra for the next decade.
Core 2 Duo - Beta Test Signup!
I’m more excited my new Core 2 Duo and reusing my old Pebble Time, than updating to WatchOS26 on my S09.
First WWDC I regret missing a meeting for.
I finished reading: Pushing Ice by Alastair Reynolds 📚
Good read. However, the ending was a little underwhelming after al, the buildup.
Daring Fireball: Bill Atkinson Dies From Cancer at 74
We sit in the shoulders of giants.
Well, that’s a bummer.
What I took from The AeroPress Premium Review, was that the XL tasted similarly to the classic AeroPress. I really have not interest in a glass and expensive version.
Make a dent in your ever-growing list of articles to read later. Save these pages to an app where you will finally act on them.
If you rather don’t go further down the Rabbit Hole with Readwise Reader, this is a great option.
Has anyone figured out a way to use iPhone Standby mode to show you’re in a meeting? I use my iPhone as a camera at work, and it would be great it could tell those approaching my desk that I’m in a call.
Really curious about these Nothing is making over-ears.
I need to believe… that in most cases, simply ignoring an obnoxious email is the best way to win an argument.
We visited a farm yesterday.
Dammit. Not only do I love keyboards, but I make myself believe I need side keyboards like the Creator Micro v1. Never mind that I already have a Megalodon Triple Knob Macro Pad, which I hardly use.
uBlock disabled on Arc at some point this week. Still not seeing the new native ad-blocker settings in my version. Going with Ghostery for now.
I’m a man of simple pleasures.
My stargazer.
📺 Paradise was not at all what I expected. In the best of ways. Watched all season 1 in less than a week with Ana. Won’t spoil anything, just give it 2 episodes.
Something, something, separate process discussions with content ones. Need to catch my breath and think/write more about this.
TIL: I can play Castro podcast to my AirPods while iPhone plays Spotify in CarPlay. Don’t judge me, but world of possibilities in Costa Rica traffic with 7yo music selection
So glad I saved my old iPad mini 6 Moshi iVisor AG Anti-glare Screen Protector. The glass protector I bought with the mini 7 was totally transparent and antiglare, but way too slippery. Great for gaming I’d imagine, but it made writing difficult.
Crappity crap. Dropped by remarkable2 pen and now it “writes” even when tip not touching screen. Luckily have a cheap backup, but without magnets it will last as long as a fart in a hammock.
