Trying to figure out how to discourage my sudden NEED for an iPhone Duo. #AppleEvent

Lots of people are griping loudly about certain features being announced at #WWDC. Have they considered, maybe, just not using the features they don't like/want?

Sunday evening: the Tony Awards Monday morning: the WWDC keynote Dori versions 3 and 4 are arguing over which to be more excited about.

Because you needed to see a photo of a very fluffy meatloaf.

Me to my cat: "You can have my love, or you can have my blood, but not both."

In honor of the recent arrival of this year's Doc Martens boots (on the right, rows 2 and 3), I figured it was time for a new family portrait. Yes, I may have a problem.

I recently realized that my birth date was closer to the reign of Queen Victoria than to today.

I would stand up if my back wasn't being annoying at the moment.

Is the #iPhoneAir instead of or in addition to the #iPhonePro? I want to know what I'll be carrying for the next year. #AppleEvent

If you wear your #AppleWatch while you sleep: when do you charge your watch? #AppleEvent

The " #AppleWatch saved my life" videos always make me weepy. #AppleEvent

Thanks in advance for sharing this in your networks. My hopes are that some way or another, my appeal will be reviewed by a human. If you know anybody I should speak to, or can think of anything useful to do at this stage, do let me know. climbtothestars.org/archives/202...

So where's the best place to chat during the #wwdc keynote? Bluesky, Mastodon, or ? Or do you have a private Slack, Discord, or Signal? Invites, please!

There was software before Bill Atkinson, and there was software after Bill Atkinson. The fact that the latter is nothing like the former is in large part due to his genius. Apple, please consider renaming the Apple Design Awards after Bill. It would be a fitting and timely honor.

Thiiiiis close to being done… It's still available, if it looks like something you'd like.

I popped by my local three Michelin star restaurant this morning to pick up a half-dozen bagels and some spreads. How's your day going?

You know you're a long-time Mac laptop user when you automatically initially orient your Macbook to have the apple facing towards you.

If you ever watch one Met Gala, this appears to be the one to watch.

My life would be easier if stage manager notation could be written in Unicode. OTOH, I understand completely that I may well be the only person on Earth who wants this.

Someone is happy that I'm home again.

RIP Timbuk2 tech accessory bag. You were awesome for many many years.

I offered to set up and run a Keynote preso for someone this week. Today, it sunk in that it's been more than a decade since I last touched Keynote… and back then, I just relied on being married to a Subject Matter Expert. I always miss you, Tom @negrino.bsky.social, but particularly so this week.

Today's goal: a DaT Scan, which is not the same thing as a CAT Scan. Yes, I am radioactive.

We're at that time of the year again where I'll be in SF this week, with afternoons and evenings free. Want to get together? Drop me a line. I'd love to see you!
