Updated my iPhone and iPad Pro (2018) to their new OSs, this afternoon. So far, so good.
It’s September 15. I do not understand the Halloween decorations I’m seeing at a few houses around town…
Parents and spectators on the sidelines of youth soccer: the worst thing you can do for the development of a player is shouting instructions. They need to learn via experience and thinking on their own. The worst thing you can yell is “kick it!” Kicking the ball without intent is useless—cheer only!
I stopped using Messages on Mac about 10yrs ago. Started again recently with my new MacBook Air. Is it just me, or is the Mac client really bad at staying in sync with what you do on iOS?
Today is the 6th anniversary of the Merrimack Valley Gas Explosions. What a crazy time that was here.
Hey, ABC News, you should be embarrassed by how you allowed that man to yell about anything he wanted. One person said he got 9 extra minutes by butting in, and they wouldn’t cut his mic.
Who had “Simone Biles’ husband scores a touchdown before NFL #1 pick QB Caleb Williams does for the Bears” on their NFL week 1 bingo card today?
Did the media learn nothing from its disastrous coverage of Trump and Clinton in 2016? | Rebecca Solnit theguardian.com
As much as I love my New York Times subscription (although getting a reasonable subscription price is like dealing with the cable company, constantly threatening to cancel) the obsession on Biden’s age, while minimizing Trump’s threat, gave me a bit of PTSD about “Hilary’s emails”. While I was never a big Hilary fan myself, (and the email server was a stupid thing she shouldn’t have done) she was clearly capable and the only reasonable choice, and the outcome of her Electoral College defeat—aided no doubt by “but her emails”—was disastrous for the country. Perhaps the news media needs to be done with the profit motive.
Apparently I’m not the only only person making a lot of use of their public library’s ebook lending…

Conditions were very ripe for a record-breaking Atlantic hurricane season, so here are the storms? (PS-we are just getting to the peak of the season now in September) Why The Atlantic Hurricane Season Has Been So Quiet Recently
Spouse: “Smell my hands”
Me: “This never ends well”
(She had just harvested Lemon Balm and they smelled like a citronella candle.)
Is Penpot an opensource Figma alternative?
I get that working with time zones sucks for developers. I’m here to tell you that it’s no walk in the park for designers trying to spec UI behavior in an app that schedules things that happen across time zones, either.
This is a hard thing to say “I recommend you listen to this” but outside of the deviating nature of the topic, the conversation is truly fascinating. Jacobsen has written a book based on hundreds of hours of research and interviews with people at many levels of the US military about our nuclear protocols, as well as outside experts. Worth a listen.
And if you’re not familiar with the 80,000 hours organization, you should look them up.
Left work early to take a shift driving the kids to activities. As they say, no good deed goes unpunished.
Sitting within eyesight of a Verizon 5G ultra wideband tower. Run an OpenSignal speed test (which the industry uses to brag about their performance) and get 150mbps. Run the Fast.com test that Netflix makes to show you your speed, 3.8mbps.
The last time Republicans won the popular vote for US Presidency was 2004 when G. W. Bush won with a 50.7% tally. Can you imagine how different this country could be if the popular vote determined the presidency?
