  • Saturday

    Today was a very eventful, fun and festive Saturday. First off, Marley, she had a haircut scheduled, and she was thrilled about it. She wouldn’t stop asking and talking all week, and even this morning. She was pleased with her new haircut, and we all made a new friend.

    After hairdo, to the grandma’s. We took the girls to grandma’s house for a very overdue date between the lady and I. I cannot remember the last time we had a date or a day out without the girls. We went for lunch. The part that I was more excited about, besides been alone with Annie, was that I had my side of the booth to myself! No Luna, or Marley, no diaper bag, just me!!!

    We stopped at the local Lush store for some fancy, and very overpriced, bath bombs. I always have fun going there, if I’m being honest. We got a few things for the girls (Annie, Marley, and Luna).

    Then we went to the movie theater. We watched Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. What an outstanding movie, we loved every minute of it. I am not sure if it was the emotions of being out to the teacher again and the movie, but I was at the edge of my seat a few time, cheering and being excited. We haven’t been to the cinema since Rise of the Skywalker. Luckily, we were at the VIP area, there was reared any people around us, at all, so we felt safe.

    After the movie, a pit stop to the local Boise Coop for some cans of fancy beers. Picked up the underaged ones, pit stop and the grocery store for some chicken and bread, yup lazy dinner.

    Once home, we hear a knock on the door, our neighbor. We are under wind advisory, there’s a lot of wind and dust. Turns out, our canopy thingy, got lifted by the wind gusts and flew over our neighbor’s yard. So, I went over and with his help, we, quite literally, toss it back over the fence. Sadly, when it flew over, it took some damaged and some parts did break.

    On better news, we got a package from my mom.

    Very interesting sour beers there, some coffe and sweet plantains, as well some things for Luna and Marley.

    Now time to relax and enjoy some beers.

  • A coffee snob?

    This morning I had decided to add some vanilla extract to my coffee. Well, it does not taste horrible but is almost as if I am having a vanilla coffee-flavored cigar. Good thing I like cigars, I guess.  I did point out to Annie that I wasn't fond of our current coffee grounds. Which we have been buying for a long while. This was an attempt to make it slightly better.  I hope I am not turning into a coffee snob, I would dislike that very much.

  • On writing emails

    How do all do it?

    Today we found ourselves in a situation where the immediate course of action, was sending out an email. Well, more like we had a conversation, concluded that we should reach out Marley’s teacher via email and thus, my wife started composing such email. When I realized, she was using Apple’s Notes application to draft it. That made me think. Where would I draft an email?

    I don’t write long form emails very often, even for work. Most of my emails are two to three sentences and data. If it were me composing this email, I think, I would use my text editor just like I’d use it for a post, such as this. Especially Ulysses. In fact, my wife handed me her phone to read over the email before sending it. What did I do? I copied the text, sent it to myself, copied the text, pasted in Ulysses, and rand its revision mode feature. Made all the suggested and necessary corrections, copied the text, and texted it back to my wife. Then she proceeded to copy the text, pasted back to the email app thingy.

    Voilà

    The moral of the story? Get Ulysses installed on all the wife’s devices. 😎

  • Growing up

    I have been an iPhone user since the iPhone 4. Ever since I have been engulfed in the Apple ecosystem and its tech-fan-culture. I have upgraded to the latest iPhone every single year ever since. Like I always felt compelled to do so, like it was my duty as a nerd.

    In the last few years, the urge to upgrade every year has gone down a bit. Thinking back, it was always about FOMO, and not because the upgrade to the device itself, bright any substantial benefits. It was about me having the same toys the podcasters I was listening to had, for example. The same toy my friends in my nerdy-chat had.

    By not having their latest and greatest, I wasn’t honoring my nerd badge.

    On September 13th, 2019, Rene Ritchie tweeted (or at least that’s the day its on my DayOne entry)

    Never let anyone, certainly not the internet, shame you about your technology choices. If you get something cheaper to save money, or you get the most expensive, you’re still every bit as nerdy and savvy. No one else knows your business or gets to judge your choices. Do you.

    I still remember these words on every Apple event ever since.

    Yesterday, for me, was another Tuesday. Yes, I was aware of the event, but I did not watch it or made any efforts to. Of course, I peaked at the internet. And for the first time I can say with confidence — I’m good.

    I currently have an iPhone 12 mini, and this is probably my favorite iPhone since the iPhone 4s, followed by the iPhone XS. And I am good, if I see myself “upgrading” it would be to the iPhone 13 mini and I don’t feel like I need to do that now. At least not in the foreseeable future.

    I did like the new Apple Watch and the iPad Mini but, I am good for a while.

    Well, would you look at that? I am fucking growing up you all.

  • Keeping up

    Happy new iPhone day!

    Today there is another — like every year — Apple event, and a new shinny thing will be announced. Sigh! After a few years, it’s hard to care to even try to keep up. Like make sure I don’t miss it, I need to know what’s new. In recent years, I have seemed to care more about WWDC, I am not sure why. Perhaps is because it’s new software that’s will work with whatever device I have on hand as long as it’s somewhat recent.

    Anyway, I am sure I will hear and read all about it whether I want to or not…

    Stay classy, have a cookie, and enjoy.
