Remember the early internet, every web designer was trying to do something unique and different until they realized their TOS tanked, then they figured out navigation needs to be simple, predicable and intuitive.
That’s where streaming services are now.

30 years ago, Hurricane Iniki, I had just moved to Hawaii Island. It devastated Kauai, it was a clam clear day here. We flew up there to help distribute water and supplies a few days later. Neighborhoods were wiped out.
21 Years ago, the terror attacks happened and the North tower was down while we were still in bed. When we got up and turned on the TV, we thought they were reshowing the 1993 bombing. It took a while for us to realize what was going on. Then our phones started ringing from people stranded, all flights were grounded and we’re on an island.
I am not into the dramas of British Royals. My wife follows it all. I made one comment and that opened the door. I got a full update. More than I really wanted to know.
Changing my career path has been a life changer. I was a top level F&B manager at resorts and corporate restaurants. Now I’m a kitchen manager at a locally owned restaurant. I’m sleeping better, not taking work home and much more relaxed. Back to reading again too.
Good on Apple expanding AppleCare to unlimited accidental damage incidents rather than just 2 incidents a year.
just watched Thor Love and Thunder. Loved it. But then, I’m simple when it comes to movies. I just want to escape for a while.
So far only the new AirPods interest me. I don’t dive or run or hike off the grid or play games on my phone or use Apple Workouts. A new AppleTV might get my attention.
I set the Arc browser as default to force a deeper dive. Really like it’s simplicity, but still have Safari open to do some things due to familiarity.
Love this version music.apple.com
I remember when a bag of potato chips would go stale practically as soon as it was opened. What voodoo do they do to the chips now that stay crisp even if you leave the bag open for an extened period?
Ok Apple. Jackson Brown’s Stay and Load Out are one fricken song. Why do you break them up in playlists?
I grew up in Hawaii and have never really second guessed our decision to stay when so many local people have moved away for better opportunities or lower cost of living. Every so often when just out and about the decision is reinforced by what’s around us. This is at the Mauna Lani resort





Listening to my 2020 Apple playlist. Listened to a lot of older (late 80s-mid 90s) mellow music during the lockdown and those first few weeks back at work in the throes of the pandemic.
Three days in at the career roll back. I love cooking, hot kitchens don’t bother me, just need to add some electrolytes to my water. Being mid level rather that top dog make going to work less onerous.
