Sunrise is the best time to hike when it is this hot.
Shh, don’t tell the kids. But I’m rather looking forward to their return to school in a couple of weeks.
And yes, I’m a morning person✅
First day of Hogwarts camp. Waiting at platform 9 ¾.
My initial App Store downloads. I have a couple of pages for this date.
The 1Password folks are denying acquisition talks with Apple are under way. I hope they stay independent. @vishae
I downloaded the Signal app on my iPhone. Not sure what I’m going to do with it though!
States visited so far on this summer’s road trips 🗺: Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Indiana.
Woke up to thunder this morning. A good excuse to grab a coffe and enjoy the storm out the window. 📷
I’m trying to be a responsible adult. But this is the only place I allow myself a pina colada🍹 . The chiclets are enjoying their age-appropriate strawberry daiquiris - the best anywhere we have ever been. We tried making them using the same mix at home. Just isn’t the same!
Not your usual fireworks shot
And a not-so-obligatory version of the fireworks 💥 shot. Our hotel really put on a great show. Quite impressed.
Obligatory fireworks 💥 shot.
Sitting on our hotel balcony as a storm rolls in reminds me of the only thing I miss about living in an apartment: sitting on our balcony as a storm rolls in 🤓
I somehow feel Independence Day 💥 is a good day to think about Indie blogs and micro.blog. Thanks @manton.

We’re heading out with the kids to San Antonio for the holiday. Here’s hoping the drive through Austin isn’t as bad as it usually is. I can hope, right? 🚙
Waiting for his dinner.
I was thinking about esports vs traditional team sports. Traditional teams are usually associated with a physical place: Yokohama Giants, Dallas Cowboys, Liverpool in the EPL etc.But I don’t think esports won’t have such geographical ties.I feel this is a bit of societal change.
Speaking of bad actors: ProtonMail has been offline for a couple of days due to a massage DDoS attack. Apparently Radware, which is supposed to be protecting them, isn’t doing a very good job…
@kitt My post was re: delivery, people transport. The world can be a mean & I haven’t seen what these cos plan to do about it. Unattended semi thefts are big now. These vehicles are going to be the same & I’ve seen nothing about prevention. Right now it’d be easy pickings
I’m seeing more stories about driverless delivery vehicles. Am I the only one who foresees tons of trouble for these? Set aside traffic accidents: graffiti targets, vandalism targets, hijacking, theft of contents, and ripping them apart of parts. Seems like gold for criminals.
My favorite Apple app is Numbers. For heavy corporate lifting Excel is #1 but for everything else Numbers is easier to use and looks 1000x better. It would be much harder to achieve what I do in Numbers using Excel.
I’m a planning and analytical nerd 🤓
Living in Texas makes me very thankful I live right next to a long heavily-shaded bike/run/walk trail.
Very happy to see that Apple has added a special Mid-Term Election section in their News app.
I don’t think I’ve ever looked forward to a mid-term vote this much. Can’t wait for November.
