Apple Watch sleep tracking revealed: sleep quality, battery, more - 9to5Mac
When wearing the Watch during bedtime, if the user wakes up and starts their day before their alarm goes off, it will automatically turn off the alarm. The alarm will also play only on Apple Watch, using the iPhone as a backup. There will also be an option to use a silent alarm that only vibrates the Apple Watch. The new bedtime system will enable Do Not Disturb automatically when the user goes to bed. There will also be a new complication available for sleep tracking.
Yes to all of this!

The state of gaming on macOS is really sad. Almost every game that I bought on the MAS in the last four years is no longer available, even for redownloading. Not sure if Apple Arcade can rise to the challenge, but I’ll keep an open mind.

White Supremacy and Abortion
September 3, 2019Bill McGurn, writing for his Main Street column in The Wall Street Journal.
the clarity of the pro-life proposition—the insistence that each of these lives is no less precious than any other human life
I’ve been spending a lot of time lately thinking and writing about the universality of the dignity of the human person. Seeing every person for who they are, worthy of dignity and respect, is a powerful countermeasure to our worst inclinations.

Book Review: Blowback 📚
September 2, 2019When I finished editing my newest book, I bought myself the next book in the Scot Harvath series. This one focused heavily on bioterrorism and the military history surrounding Hannibal. When compared to the other books in the series, I didn’t find this one to be very engaging.
There was a considerable amount of discussion explaining bioweapons, especially in the ancient world. I found the content dry, boring, and lame. The book moved slow.
I’m glad that I read it so that I can keep the thread of the story going, but I’m also glad that this wasn’t the first Scot Harvath book that I read.
Would I recommend: NO

I have a package coming via FedEx SmartPost. It’s origin was 90 minutes from my house. It was picked up on Thursday at 5:24am. It’s scheduled for delivery by 8:00pm on Tuesday. Nothing is more damaging to the FedEx brand than SmartPost.
