My series 9 Apple Watch is not supported in watchOS 27. I’ve been thinking about switching to a regular watch. This move might solidify that decision. Series 9 is not that old.

Closest I have ever gotten to this hawk.

Today’s soundtrack is Nate Dogg’s G Funk Classics Vol. 1 & 2.

Oh boy. Anghellic 25th anniversary on vinyl.

Game Changer on Dropout is so good. That show alone is worth the price of the subscription.

Check out Designed in California: An Apple history podcast by Jason Snell on Kickstarter. Can’t wait to listen.

Flight.

A hawk soars above a wooden structure with green foliage against a clear blue sky.

Parachute rewrote their iCloud Photo backup engine and it seems like it is much slower now. I back up weekly with incremental backups and don’t take that many pictures (10 a week at most) and it still takes forever.

Comedy Bang Bang live tour episodes are back and I’m so excited.

I’m pretty sure this hawk is stalking me.

A small bird is perched on a wooden fence surrounded by leafy branches.

I may have to give Interstate 60 another watch. What a weird and fun movie.

There’s now an iOS version of Gnome, for your gif needs.

I have the Cardinals on my TV, City in the Open Cup on my iPad, and I’m posting this from my laptop. Too many screens or not enough?

I played 2.5 hours of Forza Horizon 6 so far. I love it. My Xbox was really hot by the end of my session.

Buying a portable monitor and hooking up an Apple TV might have been the best thing I’ve done to my office. I can also hook it up to my servers if I need to for some reason.

Now playing: Kno - Death is Silent

A vinyl record is playing on a turntable, with an album cover featuring an illustrated woman's face positioned behind it. Album is Desth is Silent by Kno

I’ve been waiting for Indigo to come out for a while. It’s a great app for crossposting to Bluesky and Mastodon. I had been using Croissant for cross-posting, but it wasn’t a full client.

Do you need quick access to gifs in your menu bar? I do. That’s why I downloaded Gnome.

Project Hail Mary is out to rent our buy now. It’s very good. You should watch it.
