Alright. Ready for 2025 entertainment. MLB.tv for SFGIANTS purchased and MotoGP for 2025 also purchased. With ESPN+, I’m casually set for plenty to watch.
It’s Friday (woo) and I have a lot to get done but I do have some slight low back pain. I need to carve out time to row and do some weight lifting this weekend.
I got Top Rope certified at the climbing gym. I learned how to operate a belay tonight. That was a lot of fun. Now I just need a friend to climb with. The instructor was my buddy but he did say “usually people don’t go to this class alone” yeah, I get it. I have no friends.

The store is VERY busy 10 associates running drive-thru and preparing mobile / delivery orders but their customers are either in and out in 30 seconds or driving by. This much square footage is not necessary. I’d miss it though.
Large corps must be rethinking their footprint and staffing needs. I’ve been in this local starbucks a lot lately and I’m the only person sitting in this cafe that seats 50 people drinking a coffee and the only person in the last hour who has gone up to the POS to buy a coffee.
DPReview, “If you are into photography, this isn’t the iPhone for you” It has the same 1x/2x sensor as the iPhone 16 Pro with Night Mode, 4K,60FPS and Portraits?but isn’t good enough for photographers? www.dpreview.com/news/5032…
I’m lucky to be one of the millions of people who didn’t spend nearly a grand on the Humane Ai Pin. A one week notice that it’s a paperweight is really hard to stomach. Worst case scenario isn’t being out $1000+ USD for those who bought one but losing this after you …
Well, it’s Monday.
We were supposed to get 15" of snow today. So far, only 7" and while it’s going to continue overnight, I’m thinking we won’t get close to that much. A little disappointed and was hoping for more fresh powder.
Harvested when I was 14.
Went ice fishing today. Fun time.
I’m thinking of just packing my 40L camping bag and renting a mini-van then just sleeping in the car to make it happen. hotels in miami are outrageous that weekend like $400 a night. Sleeping in a car like I’m 18 again. Let’s do it.
11 months ago, I purchased a ticket to the 25th Ultra Music Festival in Miami. I’ve attended the following years: 05, 06, 07, 10, 11, 12, 24. I wasn’t sure I’d go in 2025 but tonight, Heather got invited to a wedding in Florida during Ultra weekend so we’ve bought tickets to …
It was later updated but I may be one of 10 people who subscribes to the White House RSS feed and I was super confused to read they posted a memo about “hundreds of dollars” fraudulently spent every years. I was wondering why this was a big deal for a while.
Need to pick out Valentine’s Day wine. I keep telling heather that we buy way more than we drink. The cellar is starting to turn into a time capsule. Harvests from since before I was legal to drink.
Four o' Clock. Quittin' time.
After a few weeks on Micro.blog, I took some time to write about my thoughts on the service so far - adamchandler.me/blog/2025…
Made it to Friday. Matilda has a miraculous flu recovery yesterday. Spent 6-11PM vomiting and running a fever. Started Pedialyte and by 5AM fever broke and she was breathing normally. Big breakfast and lots of water and she’s normal now. Wow. Her first cold lasted 10 hours?
I’ve started the process of ordering my next car. This post may self-destruct if in a year I don’t end up getting it. :P
Here’s why I can’t add my migrated AppleID to Messages or FaceTime or set it up as a custom domain in iCloud+ Mail….it’s not gone. Apple appears to let me “unmigrate” indefinitely back to having two IDs. I want Apple to release the old one so I can actually use it.
Nope..Hours of work updating DNS records and waiting for them to propagate only for Apple to tell me this at the very end. So I guess that issue is not resolved yet.
It looks like I still can’t add my old AppleID to iMessage and FaceTime but I may be able to setup custom domain…going through that process now.
I’m guessing that honestly, Apple just flagged that Apple Account previously used by me for Media & Purchases as deprecated and not available for any future use. Everything has migrated over so that’s good. I’m out nothing but would love to claim that address for custom domain.
It’s been a while and still no luck. Please apple, can you release adam@adamchandler.me as an AppleID (Apple Account) so I can add it to my now only Apple Account as both a custom domain and contact option (iMessage and FaceTime)? that’s the final thing I need.
