@kolin I do not like this.
I think November of 2025 will be M5 Pro Max 14" MacBook Pro with a 32" 6K display and a Thunderbolt 5 hub and maybe Sonos Era speakers as the new setup.
No update on the move to Micro.blog yet but just a more personal tech update: I decided to add a 1 year extension of AppleCare to my M1 Max MacBook Pro. While I could certainly use an M4 power, it's not enough to justify the $3,000 upgrade cost (after selling my machine) so I'm going to …
Starting a new job. I posted about it over on LinkedIN - https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7280426660783423488/

Quick brewery visit in the snowy north just 30 minutes from the Canadian border.
Before and after. New job starts Monday.

Merry Christmas
My baby now has global entry and tsa pre check. Visited the border on Christmas Eve
Saw Stella Cole tonight in Portsmouth for her Christmas show. Great ensemble.
I walked into Starbucks and god a Christmas blend. I walked into my dentist to book an appointment. “We can see you now” great but what about my coffee breath?
Went on a sleigh ride today.
