3 weeks too late but here’s week 11 of our house reconstruction - adamchandler.me/blog/2026… Week 15 (Monday), they’ll start on the roof system replacement and re-framing our walls to 8'
Listening to Seu Jorge’s The Life Aquatic album today - youtube.com/watch Finally bit the bullet and ordered the bootleg vinyl album out of Europe for $33 - highfidelityla.com/release/9… Sold out now
Bought all of these today from a guy on Craigslist for $125. Nice haul. Moving from a 15U rack to a 42U rack. Same depth but we’re going to move AV equipment to sit under the networking equipment after the remodel.
Oh so other good news, my title paperwork for the my town / NH also arrives monday so I can register my TT RS and order a vanity plate. Not picking up the car until April so plenty of time for the 6 week delay of plate time to work out. Thinking DAZAGUD as my plate.
Here’s the thing, ATF and FBI and an NH based FFL have all verified and approved and I have to sign for delivery and show ID so obviously all checked out including fingerprints uploaded and a full background check but still….I’d really prefer to pick it up in a store. So wild.
Won a .22LR Silencer in a local auction on 12/31. It finally arrives Monday. What’s amazing about how insane modern gun laws are is they’re shipping it directly to my home. I’m not sure how that’s allowed but it is fully legal. WTF?
Also..just got a text from my XPEL guy in Asheville. He has my car in the shop and is doing paint repairs but will have the car for 2 weeks to fully wrap and tint and ceramic coat. It’s going to be SOOO beautiful.
No work this weekend!!!
“Every video on YouTube is available in the new, standalone visionOS app, including standard videos, 180° videos, 360° videos, and YouTube Shorts. And on the newer Apple Vision Pro with the M5 chip, you can even watch YouTube videos in 8K.” Was NOT on my 2026 Bingo Card!
Here are the photos (compliments of my wife since I don’t have an Instagram)
My green car which I can’t pick up until April is sitting in the dealership showroom because it “brings people in” but also they’re keeping it very clean for me - www.instagram.com/p/DUJvkow…
If I order a CTO MacBook Pro today, it’ll be here by March 16th - 23rd. That seems…delayed. Is it coming by boat or is what I order actually never going to ship and they just replace it with whatever comes out in a few weeks?
Bought a car 2 weeks ago. Haven’t seen it in person yet but next week, full XPEL wrap after a paint correction and carbon ceramic coating happening tomorrow. Also wanted some of ceramic window tint!
Sometimes I just put on the Scuttlebutt song and jam out - www.youtube.com/watch
Last night, court side for women’s Dartmouth basketball.
Teaching 3 classes this month but all for the right reasons. Missing family time today and tomorrow though.
Midnight oil.

I’d honestly have to just look back at what the previous OS looked like to tell a difference. I think I’ve moved into “every day user” mode when it comes to software and I get in, do what I need and get out.
I’ve started to fast-forward all Accidental Tech Podcast segments that criticize modern Apple UI design. I get punditry and critiques are the job of the crew but I frankly haven’t thought about Apple design for a moment since upgrading. Only issue is drag corners have changed. There was …
I love it. Probably not your cup of tea though. :)
CAR SECURED!
Okay, I think I bought a car. Will share a photo once I give them the deposit pending a purchase & sale agreement.
This is NOT a joke. New AirTag comes out on the day one of my 8 AirTags started beeping like crazy and has had me re-paired it to my phone 3 times. It’s like it new a replacement was inbound.
Despite hearing enabled, I’ve had to manually clear ice off the Starlink a few times
