First ride in the new convertible. Went out for ice cream. She loves it.

It’s going to be really hot this week. The lake water is 67F. I’m looking forward to heating up that water a bit more. Back in Boston and time for my 2 hour drive home.

Leaving Nashville and heading back north.

I never thought about this but my wife is getting car sunscreen for the convertible. I guess that does make sense.

With the open web dying and everyone using Medium, Instagram, TikTok, X.com to publish, it requires having accounts at all of these companies to read content. Like needing Facebook to buy a used car (marketplace) since Craigslist is dead. It’s really disappointing.

Here’s the post on X.com

This shit is hostile and I’m sick of it. @gruber@mastodon.social linked to an x.com post about the Shining photo which links to an Instagram page but when I click the Plus button to read the comments, I have to create an instagram account. The web is fucking broken. I’d love to read the …

Good morning from Lebanon, TN. Here for the BMW MOA rally and it’ll be a busy few days. I blogged on the flight about my new car - adamchandler.me/blog/2025…

So exciting. But I am now in Nashville, so time to get to work. i’ll have a blog post up in a day or two.

I shot 90 minutes of combined 4K video on my insta360, GoPro, DJI Drone and iPhone yesterday. Video is here - www.youtube.com/watch This lead to a 950gb FCP file which filled up my 2TB SSD. I regret not doing 4TB when I bought this. Next MBP will be 4 TB for sure!

Theme of June & July - More hiking, less drinking.

Great ride today.

8.5 mile bicycle ride. That was awesome.

Hard to believe this is a 2002 vehicle. Manual, 30K miles and dealer maintained. Steel Blue with blue soft top, 6-cylinder, fully loaded. Less than 150 in this spec produced for American market

It’s the weekend. I think trails are finally dry enough for some off roading but right now. I’m solving puzzles with Toad.

Correction, car pickup is on Tuesday. Motorcycle pickup is on Sunday. I’m driving an hour to pickup a new motorcycles. I’m driving 14 hours (each way) to pickup a car. adamchandler.me/blog/2025…

Wordpress, this is just straight up lazy. This is your Mac app?

Updated version of Steve’s 2005 Stanford Commencement Speech was great but what I loved more is going through all of these fantastic artifacts at the bottom. stevejobsarchive.com/exhibits/…

Maybe a reboot of both devices will fix it but this just started happening randomly. I have to press the sleep button on the iPad to get control back on my Mac.

Running all public builds of iPadOS and MacOS, Continuity Universal Control has become incredibly disruptive. When a notification comes in on iPad, my Apple keyboard and trackpad jump over to the iPad and I lose connectivity for 3-5 seconds. I’ve disabled the feature today.

Finalized the designs for our house remodel / tear down. We were going to go up a level but couldn’t make the financials work. Should start work in October.

I think I’m going to go buy a motorcycle this weekend.
