The plague of “Not Now” being the only alternative across many services continues to piss me off to no end. “Never remind me again” or “No” would suffice. Put not now as the third choice but the answer to “Do you want to buy a Mercedes?” Shouldn’t be YES or NOT NOW it should be NEVER at least in my …
It’s been 2 weeks and iPad OS is still asking me to consider joining Apple Music even though I subscribe to Apple Music. Sigh.
@stammy sigh. I demand a Mark II. It’s a damn shame. I bought the Leica Q2 and I love it but Sony really screwed up by killing this off :(
@BodyofBreen That’s just like his opinion, man.
21 days since my big trip ended. 14 days until the next one. 31 days until I'm due back at work. What a great break this has been.
Great Sunday so far and it’s only 11AM.
My FourSquare checkin history after the roadtrip to the arctic. Will do northern Quebec and Yellowknife in a future trip.
It's been alluding me for a while but I've finally realized 100,000 views in a month on YouTube.
Great hike today.
Pretty Good Day.
Matilda woke up at 6:30AM. By 9AM, she was in Canada. First Cheese Curds, First ice cream, back in USA by 11AM. Lake swimming all day, riding on a tractor, jumping on a trampoline and now she's eating watermelon and it's time for bed.
Cheese curds and dairy cows.
This begins Matilda’s 8-10 country tour this summer. Today, Canada for poutine and syrup.

If you read the comments on /r/iPad, people would have you believed anyone running an M1 iPad Pro or later shouldn’t upgrade but this thing screams. The M4 is so insanely fast that it’s unbelievable.
If my 4 terabyte iCloud Photo library’s 5 hours to scan all faces is any indication, this M4 chip is a beast. This was a 1-4 week process on previous mobile devices. I’m blown away.
Apple gonna apple. This teaser keeps prompting me to join Apple Music and won't go away. Then I click it and am informed I'm already a subscriber. I KNOW THIS. Why doesn’t apple settings?
If the iPad Pro M4 is any indication of performance, I’ll probably have to replace my M1 Max MacBook Pro by the end of this year with an M4 Max MacBook Pro.
I broke down and bought an iPad.
Second Home Summer @ the Lake house in New Hampshire. Great to be back with Heather and Matilda. Going to be a great 8 weeks!
Finally, I submitted my paperwork to the Iron Butt Association. While I completed a 1,000 mile ride in 2020 in 24 hours, this time I completed an 1800 mile ride in 36 hours qualifying me for another tier up. I have to say 900 miles a day for 2 days on a motorcycle is zero fun but I get a sticker :P
Final map of the ride.
My 4 week, 11,000 mile motorcycle trip yielded 700 photos that I am really proud of. They're in a single Flickr Album - https://www.flickr.com/photos/adamjackson/albums/72177720318443293 Note, this is from thousands of photos captured.
