One thing I really like about the iPad is I can be doing some work, then if I want to read something I can slide it out of the keyboard and lean back and read.
Got some hands on with some Macs today. Not sure they will do anything that I need that my iPad with the keyboard or my Mac Mini can’t do.
Its taken a while to get here, but my Twitter feed is pretty much all art and photos at night and football (soccer) with a little bit of tech in the day time. I really enjoy going through my feed before bed. No politics and very little news.
The Ruskis don’t take a crap without a plan ….This business will get out of control and it will get out of control and we’ll be lucky if we live through it.
I think of this scene whenever the Russians act up
This just a great feel good show. So many of the joke flew by me as a kid.
Hey! Thought you’d like Taxi on Paramount+. Check it out…
Always been a big fan of the Rippingtons. music.apple.com
Went to a movie theater for the first time in years while our grandsons spent time with their Mom. Saw Death on the Nile. Enjoyed the movie, the employees were nice l, but the theater experience was no more than average. Did see this on the way home (cross island)
Brought our Grandsons to Hilo to spend time with their Mom. Loved here for many years. The Mall is a busy ghost town. Lots of people walking around. Lots of closed stores. Mostly food places. It’s like a big food court
Received my iPhone 13 pro. Apple make the set up so easy. Even moved my watch to the new phone. Just need to recall all of the passwords to individual apps.
This is interesting, for me, growing up on an island and living on this particular one for 32 years, I know most if not all of these. kottke.org
Do You Know Where You’re At?
I remember laying on the floor of my room playing this album on the turntable with headphones and studying this album cover. music.apple.com
Submitted resignation yesterday, called my boss 1st to give him a heads up. Last day March 15th. I’ll start telling my staff tomorrow.
Long Term relationships
There’s a few apps (services) that I’ve been using pretty continuously for a number of years. If I reset my phone, these are the first app I install
- Evernote - early adapter and have fallen in and out of love with it a few times. 26,000 some odd notes, it’s our primary digital storage place.
- Instapaper - another app that I was an early Marco adapter and have also fallen in and out of love with it too. It still pretty much does what it’s supposed to. It fun to look back and an article i added years ago and to look into my mindset when I added it.
- Twitter (via Twitterrific) - I was also early on this one. Had to close my early account, it got hacked (I think) and started a new account in 2010
- App.net > Micro.blog - still here
- Readdle apps - I’ve used Spark, PDF Expert, Scanner Pro and Calendars since they’ve come out. Love their apps. The founders are from the Ukraine, hope the current situation works out.
- Forza Football - My favorite football (soccer) schedule, table and score app.
- ESPN - nuff said - since before they had an app.
- New News Wire - all things RSS
- OverCast - Been with it for a while now
- Notes App - drifted out to others a number of times, but it does what it’s suppose to do. Apple has added features at the normal glacial Apple pace.
The app that is gone that I miss the most is Couple. My wife and I were using since we met and then one day it stopped working. We could still see old messages until we got new phones and couldn’t download the app.
Also miss the reader app Zite, Flipboard bought it a few years ago. Recently deleted Flipboard after years of use. It’s gotten too spammy
