The Lowes implementation of Apple Pay vs Safeway is lacking. It’s the same process as swiping a card (2-3 taps on the screen). With Safeway, it’s a device tap and done


Made it to my days off. Worked through the Christmas week. Next up: New Years week. Already scheming about my fresh catch specials for the week.


Haven’t worn an Apple watch for a few months. Forgot about the little things, like my watch unlocking my Mac.


No snow on Mauna Kea on Christmas this year. So a photo of last year


Got an Apple Watch 9 for Christmas. It was purchased well before the oxy sensor issue blew up. If they don’t settle and plan to disable it via software update, I’d be inclined to delay updates.


Listening to Who Shot JFK by Soledad O’Brien. Really would have been a different world if JFK had lived, but that was never going to be allowed to happen.


My wife and I are starting early planning for a trip to Italy in late 2024. We both are not crazy about the long flights to Europe. My wife is actually dreading it. we thought about taking a cruise, but the idea of having to dress up and sit with strangers for dinner irks us even more


The Hawaiian islands are in the middle of the pacific plate. The oldest of the islands is Kure Atoll approximately 30 million years old. Though there is a string of seamounts running further northwest forming the Hawaiian–Emperor seamount chain that were much older before subsiding.


Fair result. Both teams had chances. #TheArsenal


My wife is notoriously last minute, it’s her low level ADD. It really becomes apparent in the holidays. My culinary mind is about Mis en Place. I did 90% of my shopping in Nov. She did her shopping this week. Even though I work on Christmas, I’ve been asking about the menu for weeks so I can get it setup. She’s running around town today. Oh well, C’est la vie.


I’ve been using the Orion browser with Kagi search on IOS for a couple of months now. Other than results look odd now and then I have no issues to report. Having used Google search for so long the anomalies are likely just familiarity.


Family Liquor Full moon

Glad I work on Christmas.


Polynesians had navigated the entire Pacific Ocean before Europeans had left sight of land.


Into my days off, then work straight through Christmas till next wed. We’re having our Christmas dinner tonight.


Upgraded our router. For better security and speed and IPV6 at some point. Didn’t realize it’d been 5 years.

Loving ‘More Than This’ by ‘Roxy Music’ on Radio Paradise /music/song/31451


In the last hour before I head off to work and the bustling kitchen, if I watch something on TV, the hour flies by, if I put on music, the hour slips by slowly.


Lots of vitriol on both sides of the climate issue.

My wife and try to be conscientious. We’re well into the final trimester of our lives, but drive small cars, combine trips. I got a job close to home. Virtually every light in the condo is LED. Just trying to have a smaller footprint overall.


I can go days without opening my MB Air, and only use it for a short while at that. Just realized my Time Machine backups were way behind. Had to remember to leave it open till it was done.
