We just switched the entire company from HipChat to Google Hangouts Chat. Slack is too damn expensive.
Off to London on Saturday. Hopefully we’ll beat the Nor’easter bearing down on us. If all goes as planned I’ll have Sunday free to putter around the city before I need to get to work.
I missed day 365 but damn I’m pretty proud of making it this far. Now if I can only earn that “Eating Less” badge.
Getting a excited about NY Comicon. This is the third year in a row that my daughter and I are attending together. Next year she’s off to college. I hope our tradition will survive but part of me knows how these things go. She’s the youngest of my three children.
Top 3 strangest songs that choke me up:
- Baby Blue - Badfinger
- Warfrat - The Grateful Dead
- Long Live Rock - The Who
Trying to steal a few moments of roaming around alien planets while I wait for the drizzle to stop and….. 20 minutes of waiting for an update….sigh
Paddled about 40 minutes to a small secluded cove off the inlet at Barnegat Light. Such a beautiful spot. My only company were a few sea gulls and cormorants feeding off the small fish in the water. Collected some odd bits of plastic to leave the place cleaner than it was before I got there. I like to think this kind of cleanup makes a difference. After all, I didn’t use to do this but was inspired by an older couple who regularly picked up plastic while they walked up and down the beach.
Apple released a solid line if phones yesterday but I didn’t see anything that makes it imperative for me to ditch my iPhone X. As long as my will power holds out, I’m holding off upgrading this year. Will definitely go “max” next September.
I love my current iPhone X. It’s perfect. Even the notch. Will Apple release something today to tempt me to open up my wallet? I’m not sure. I won’t know for sure until later in the day. I’m on site with a customer all day so won’t be able to watch the event live. Hoping there are new software features that my X and Series 3 Apple Watch can leverage without new hardware but I’m not that confident in that outcome. 🍎📱⌚️
You’d think he’d take off as I approached but this is a NJ Raccoon. They pretty much don’t give a damn.
Interesting analysis of the Will Wheaton/Mastodon incident.
Millions of tiny salps in the water today. It’s like the ocean is full of bath beads. Harmless but makes for an interesting swim. Takes your mind off the large stingrays surfing the waves. Also harmless but they give me the heebee-geebees when they sneak up on you from below. 🌊
Ordered my Hobonichi Cousin this morning. No cover yet. Still deciding. May just order a Nock.co A5 Seed. 🖋📚
