A few years ago I took my executive team to the iFly across the bay from our Cupertino office for an indoor skydiving event. Not as team building but just to have fun together. It was a huge success. Today our 11 year old son got to go with the other gifted kids to our local iFly. Has to be the coolest thing the school district has ever done.

We’ve had cloudy days and rain for days on end. It’s the 3rd rainiest start to a year ever. I’m really missing watching the sun rise. ☀️ 📷

I really like the way Gluon handles inline images. On my iPad Pro they’re shown larger than in the M.b app and Icro and look lovely! @vincent

My favorite iPad Pro attachment ⌨️ 📷

It’s ugly but oh so functional and light.

As this type of news becomes common, I feel I should create a better WiFi password. Mine isn’t a “stupid” one but could be better. But I have ~80 WiFi devices and fear the havoc changing would wreak.

One of the most destructive botnets can now spread to nearby Wi-Fi networks

I have this plain bit of wall in front of me while riding the workout bike. The fan and TV are peeking around the edges. 📷😆

It dawned me today that if the M.b photo challenge had any sort of contest element, like “we’ll feature the best photos each day”, I would never have participated. I’m glad it is just a sharing event. @macgenie

‘Merica!

Managed to hit the trail for some exercise in the lull between rain storms. 📷

Contrast.

Push it, push it good. 📷

These little planting cubes are sitting on my garage workbench patiently waiting on spring. I love when hoodie weather arrives but to be honest I get my fill of it well before winter ends.

Bonus shot for plant day 😉

I have the house to myself for awhile this morning. As is customary I have the HomePods on max volume blasting songs like Worlds Apart 🎶

If is Feb 6th and 28F this morning. It’s going to be another 4 months before I can look up and see these beautiful plants again. February is generally our most difficult winter month. Fortunately we dodged the recent sleet storm. 🌱 📷

Try if you want, but you can’t hide from these eyes

The Heisenberg Limit has long been one of my favorites learnings from quantum physics. I always get a “catch me if you can” image when Ithink about it.

Yes, I’m weird.

Spots on my windshield as the cold front moved through. This morning they’re from light sprinkles. Tomorrow they’ll likely be from snow and sleet. The kids will be super excited if so. 📷

All these discounts on Apple’s 16” MBP are soooo tempting. Must. Resist.

A couple of accomplishments today

✅ I am officially a licensed amateur radio operator. I passed the Technician exam last week and the FCC issued the license today. Now studying for the next level exam to upgrade to a General license.

✅ I successfully assembed the elliptical machine my wife ordered. No blood and no expletives 😉

Ripples & reflections 📷

Happy Universal Palindrome day!

On the downside it is the last one I’ll live to see 🤷🏻‍♂️

The gift of sight

The minute I walked into the kitchen after getting up duo morning this pair was looking at me. Apparently they wanted to be part of today’s photo challenge. It looks staged but instead is some sort of weird coincidence.

N.B. Son’s and wife’s glasses

Were posts for the photo challenge supposed to flow to Discover?

Push down and turn to … Open

What is the proper / best way to post something to my micro.blog hosted site while avoiding having it show up on the timeline?

Is there a Drafts automation for this?
