• You can forget what I just said less than an hour ago on the podcast. So much coffee, so little time!

    Episode 67: Apple Store

    Recording from inside the Michigan Avenue Apple Store, I recap my morning so far and reflect on the differences of recording a solo podcast versus one with the kids.

  • There’s never a movie that I want to see in theatres when I have the time to go.

  • The clock tower: a public service from a bygone era.

    Enjoying the City

    A leisurely stroll,

    Seldom appreciated,

    By those behind me.

  • Excited to hear The Wall Street Journal signed on to Apple News. If that gets subscribers full digital access, that could make the deal work for me.

    March 20,2019
  • The Apple Support app is brilliant.

    March 20,2019
  • Based on the color options, I’m guessing Apple’s research says very few men buy their phone cases. The color cases for men are still basically blue and black. Disappointing.

  • Time to try out this UberEats.

  • A view from the workspace at the Michigan Avenue Apple Store.

  • After Mass Detentions, China Razes Muslim Communities to Build a Loyal City - WSJ

    In this old Silk Road city… a state security campaign involving the detention of vast numbers of people has moved to its next stage: demolishing their neighborhoods and purging their culture.

  • Inside U.S. Airlines’ Decisions to Keep Flying the 737 MAX - WSJ

    Southwest’s Mr. Kelly says his internal, independent safety team was telling him that data collected from the MAX, which Southwest has been flying since 2017, showed no problem.

    Good reporting by Scott, per usual.

  • The gig economy is alive and well.

  • This place really gets me.

    March 20,2019
  • I’m really enjoying the ability to post links, text, photos, and podcasts while moving through the city. Micro.blog is excellent.

    Episode 66: Morning Review

    Broadcasting from the plaza outside of the Michigan Avenue Apple Store, I recap my morning adventures.

    March 20,2019
  • My first visit to an iconic Apple Store. Not super impressive.

    March 20,2019
  • I love all of these monuments dotting the city. Small spaces to tell big stories.

    March 20,2019
  • City Hall

    March 20,2019
  • I really thought Apple Maps would be better for walking directions in the city. GPS is having a heck of a time keeping up.

    March 20,2019
  • Swung by the Chicago Fed and checked out their museum. Pretty wonky, but fun!

    March 20,2019
  • Historic financial district. I love the ornate lobbies in all of these buildings.
