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.

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

True iPad Multitasking makes me so glad I ordered an M4 iPad Pro with 16GB of RAM. It was my hope that in the life of that device, I’d have been vindicated with this choice and that has arrived. Looking forward to iPadOS 26.

I’m waiting for the Liquid Metal redesign in 15 years which brings back brushed aluminum.

What a whirlwind of a weekend. I can’t believe it’s time to work again tomorrow.

Beer cracked, house cleaned. Going to play some Fallout and maybe some Zelda.

I really feel like Apple should just embrace iMessage for what it’s great at and not try to copy Messenger or Snapchat and just keep things simple.

iMessage Rumors - www.macrumors.com/2025/06/0… Fine but as long as I can disable all of this, they can do whatever they want. I just want text messaging. I have emojis disabled, I am not in any group chats and I have reduce motion enabled.

So freaking happy to not get a text message every time I enter my email on a Shopify Checkout page anymore. I put in an email BOOM a text comes through. no thanks. shop.app/opt-out is where you go to delete your shop account. it’s not convenient, I have auto-fill for Safari.

At this rate, we’l be going to the 12 terabyte plan in a year or two.

It looks like the Nintendo Switch on Swappa goes for $200 or so. Going to sell it this weekend since all of the games just moved over to the Switch 2. Lots of accessories, too. Switch 4 Joy Cons 2 NES joy cons 1 Pro controller 4-up charging dock 4 racing wheels dock, charger, etc

No Switch 2 playing tonight but I have the device and it’s all setup and downloading 22 games. The screen is too large in my opinion for handheld play but my wife and I have played 100% of our Switch in the dock so I’m excited for 4K gaming!

Nice.
