I need a new Apple Watch so that’s at the top of my wish list for the 12th. But I’m not too enthused about these rumors it might be a round watch. Just have to wait and see. The one round thing I wish for ain’t gonna happen: add soundbar features to the HomePod.
Placed my first order with Field Notes. Buying a few different types and sizes to try out. I’ve always heard good things about these notebooks. Can’t wait to try them out.
A bit late for National Dog Day, but better late than never, right? 🐕 📷
Let the record show my first college game of the year is the Wyoming Cowboys vs the New Mexico State Aggies 🤠 vs. 👩🌾 📺 🏈
College football on the TV tonight. Life is good. 📺👍🏼
This time of year, due to the heat, I tend to get most of my exercise on a stationary bike. It seems that pedaling fast with lesser resistance is a much faster way of closing the Exercise ring on my Apple Watch than more slowly w/more tension. Not sure that should be the case.
TFW your Apple Watch dings to say you’ve met your calorie burn goal for the day. While you sit in a chair. Eating some Jelly Bellys.
My wife wants to learn to sew so we picked out a machine at a local sewing shop today. She‘s already managed to lay down some decent stitches!
My achievement: helping figure out how to thread the darn thing. “Easy once you know how, but inscrutable until you’ve done it”.
I loved Monument Valley - the game. Scratching my head over the concept for a movie though…
Gorgeous puzzle game ‘Monument Valley’ is being turned into a movie
I sure hope the new model supports legacy bands. I love my current leather band and would hate to have to ditch it.
This make me sad. Paper was a pioneer and still a great app.

Both of our home computers (MBP & iMac) are more than 5 years old. Normally I’d have replaced them by now but the reality is even with 2 kids we use them less and less due to iPad and iPhone advances. Teenager often does her homework on her iPhone of all things.
Lately I see a lot of posts regarding a downward inflection for Twitter - that it has lost its way. Some folks online seem rather emotional about it. What’s interesting to me is virtually no one I know IRL cares about Twitter. Really wonder how much of the general public does.
Looks like Icro was eating my posts yesterday so back to the MB app.
Apologies for being a day late but my Micro Monday is @Burk who actively supports the MB community, has an interesting timeline, and is an all around great guy.
I find myself out of touch the past few days. I see many posts re: angst, trauma, drama posted about Twitter’s changes (some say looming demise). Yet no one I know IRL is even mentioning it - it’s a non-event. Many, especially younger folk, think Twitter is seriously uncool.
My Micro Monday is @burk - a great guy, a micro blogging supporter, and poster of interesting tidbits.
Today’s the first day of school for the kiddos so back to my morning routine of stopping by the local indie coffee shop. Our daughter starts high school this year and she is super nervous (she’s very shy, and short) 📷 ☕️
Hand rolls and beer to start 🍣 🍺
I’m wondering if anyone has used the Sonos Beam soundbar with Siri and Airplay and how well the integration works. I haven’t turned up much info, other than PR type stuff, in my searches.
I’m really enjoying this podcast. If you have any interest in history you might like it as well.
It’s the last week of summer break for the kids so we have a series of fun activities planned. Starting today with a trip to Dave & Busters (arcade). Our very shy daughter is quite nervous about starting high school.
I wonder what well-known sites benefit from Apple’s affiliate program for links to apps? I don’t really use web sites for app discovery. Partly because in the past when I came across some I decided I didnt’ trust them. Hard to know what payments they get.
We’re going to throw paint on canvases 🎨 📷
Long time no cappuccino 📷
With the kids out for the summer I often don’t get out of the house early enough to feel like hitting the coffee shop. (Think 100F heat). Rather looking forward to getting in the old routines.
I received No Man’s Sky at Christmas & gave it a try shortly afterwards. Kept hitting my head against a wall constantly so gave up & shelved it. They released v1.5 with a ton of changes and I’m giving it a second chance. So far I’m really impressed with their commitment.
