I wouldn’t go out and buy a pair of Beats headphones. But these were free of charge, so sure, I’ll try them.

Delivery services always come later in the day when they’re delivering a package I really want to receive.

It takes FedEx Smart Post 8 days to move a package along a route that takes 12 hours to drive. And that’s about all that you need to know about FedEx Smart Post. 🐢

Cuban burgers for dinner. Yum.

I need to take a few hours, sit down, and figure out my priorities. Too many projects with too little clarity.

My parents were in town this past weekend, and we decided to load up and go to the drive-thru safari. It’s a huge preserve with driving trails snaking through the pastures. The animals travel in groups and are largely permitted to wander at will. It was a hot day, so many were playing in the water or resting in the shade of trees. Still, they’re conditioned to being fed by the cars, so they were more than happy to get up in hopes of being fed. 
The kids had a wonderful time. Even more special, with our visit coming much later in the season than our first one, many of the herds travelled with their young. My favorite was a group of 13 tiny emu running around with their mom.

App organization is a delicate art.

Step #1: Don’t let massive breaches go unnoticed for months, lol.

I heard on the WSJ Instant Message podcast that the iPhone is the most personal computer ever created. As a result, it’s a reflection of its owner. I’m going to make some more changes so it reflects the person that I want to be. 📱

Bank deposit rates are embarrassing bordering on offensive. 🏦

What a lovely bow tie display.

It’s nice that all of the Avery templates can be downloaded in Apple Pages format.

When product websites feature the logos of publications that have talked about them, I always click the logo hoping it’ll link to the review article. It seldom does.

The ecobee is far more complicated than the Nest. I don’t like the forced use of a schedule and the crazy way you program the sensors. More work is required than should be necessary, especially for a mature product.

I’m deploying some changes to my network via OpenDNS to block many of the Big Tech tracking domains/IP Addresses. Thanks to Lockdown for pulling the list together.
