OK all you brave Beta installers. Please investigate and report back.😎
I’m in love with these additional privacy protections in iOS 13.
Forecast for tomorrow:
Morning optimism on the heels of the WWDC keynote followed by frequent storm clouds in the afternoon as the glass-half-empty crowd find plenty of ammo for potential doom.
We’re watching this morning’s 4 hour spelling bee on our DVR. I think we’ll have to wait until tomorrow night to see the final. This is pretty much my wife’s favorite event (though none of us are spellers). 🧠 🐝
Storms are moving through. Our house has a window seat that’s about 7 feet long with a comfy cushion. It’s a favorite spot to watch the world go by or sneak a nap.
Tonight’s learning: Explaining rotary dial phones to our 10 year old son
Played the Carcassone board game with my 10 year old son for the first time today. It’s a good game for us - works ok for 2 players and doesn’t take too long to complete.
My daughter and I did our first shift of volunteer work at the food bank. It was a good experience and she is looking forward to returning. This food bank is like a small grocery store and people are allowed to select their own food rather than receive a pre-boxed selection.
Normally I ignore new consoles because the lack of backward compatibility makes them quite limited from a value standpoint. Looks like the PS5 will be an exception. > confirming yet again that the PS5 will have backwards compatibility Sony on PS5
A little fun at the local arcade after school yesterday. We decided to give the kids a treat since our son finished his standardized tests this week and our daughter has her finals next week. Air hockey is always a favorite.

Proud of our 15 year old daughter for signing up as a volunteer at the food pantry. She starting the day after school ends.
Saw another armadillo by the exercise trail today. I guess they’ve taken up residence. 📷
Family dinner at our favorite Japanese restaurant in celebration of Mother’s Day. Simple elegant type decor.
It started raining about 5am accompanied by quite a bit of thunder and lightning. Nothing really threatening so it was an enjoyable storm. Only able to take a short stroll outside and met this little fellow. 📷 🐿
You’ll Never Walk Alone - Liverpool ⚽️ 🥅 What a game!
After a week of cloudy, rainy days a bit of blue sky on the trail this morning. But still mostly cloudy. 📷 ☁️ ☀️
This is our creek in it’s normal state //@smokey
Wow, very happy I stopped using these apps last year.
Adobe doubles the price of its $10/month Creative Cloud plan for Photoshop and Lightroom - 9to5Mac
This is the creek that runs alongside our exercise trail. 📷 🌳
I joined Micro.blog in January. A lot has changed for the better since then. At first I was running into issues in the apps and backend. More recently I’m finding both to be very solid. I think @manton has really done a great job in a short time.
In my silly little mind…
The majority of the flowers are saying “look at the sun over there”.
But the little group bottom left are saying “but this guy is taking our picture!”
Quote of a native Murani (African) from the 1940s. Wise still.
“‘Talk lives in a man’s head, but sometimes it is very lonely because in the heads of some men there is nothing to keep it company—and so talk goes out through the lips.’” From “West with the Night” by Beryl Markham
