Short-Form

The scale read 230 today. Amazing. I was stuck at like 236 for almost 2 months.

I’m 15 miles from anywhere camping off a trail in a dead end road somewhere in New River Gorge WV. There’s no one in the park it seems. It’s February, rained all day and so it’s a ghost town…I’m also literally at a ghost town and will check it out tomorrow. Looking forward to tomorrow night though!

Navigating to a ghost town in West Virginia managed by NPS with dispersed campsites and arriving after dark. Should be fine.

Major issue with Apple vision Pro. I can't head bang to a quality hip hop track without my 100 foot tall MacBook Pro screen looking blurry. Apple, fix this for the headbangers.

West Virginia motorcycle trip is going to be a test for me...how many times can I play John Denver's Country Roads on repeat before I get sick of it?

DNS issues are causing my new blog launch to be delayed until Monday. Sorry. I think I'll go to West Virginia to help my troubles.

Friday.

That was my FIRST office sneeze at this job.

@jsnell I capped mine at 4,000 knowing no one is going to read past 500 anyway but I look forward to reading yours on my AVP today during lunch.

Seriously interesting stat for my main blog. This is 16 years of blog posts:

@lakelady Thank you. I will be fine.

So this is what depression feels like?

Today was VisionOS demo day at work. I think Apple got it right. VisionOS demos really need that full 30 minutes and you really just need to let the person have a private space and play. It was cool to see everyone experience it in their own way. I do feel bad for those with corrective vision needs. …

VisionOS Office 365 Issues Solved. You can now install Outlook for iPad (wasn't possible on launch day) and Exchange is an option in the Add Account Settings. It popped up the right OAuth environment and I can now read my email on VisionOS.

I’m disappointed with the audio cinematic quality namely bass of the Apple Vision Pro and have not seen any photos of people using AirPods Max with it. Way better experience. Watching Tron Legacy and the audio just wasn’t the same as my home theatre. Yes, that’s a onesie. It’s cold.

I created a Reddit post summarizing the issue I'm dealing with - https://www.reddit.com/r/AppleVisionPro/comments/1aktpf1/office_365_email_doesnt_work/

Nope. Still can't login to Office 365. :(

Installing the VisioOS 1.1 Developer Beta and the only reason why is my hope that Office365 business accounts work after the update. Still can't check email on my device...a device made in 2024 that costs $3500 before tax and it doesn't work with one of the #1 email providers in the world …

A 5 year upgrade on iPad and iPhone and hopefully, Apple Vision Pro is normal yet after 2 years, an accident is on you u less you pay monthly. $25 for AVP, $7.99 for iPad and 9.99 for iPhone.

Been meaning to post this for a while but despite Apple upgrade cycles on every single device growing year over year, Apple has refused to offer AppleCare in 3-5 year intervals except only Macintosh computers (3 years) hoping you’ll just pay monthly forever. I need to do the math but monthly …

No one asked but here’s the flow to add AppleCare to your Apple Vision Pro. (Part two). Note, Apple doesn’t show you the pay in full price by default.

@chockenberry crossing my fingers a MacOS app happens eventually even without stretch goal achieved. Mac is where I consume most of my content.

Things are definitely coming together. I need to start building out the Mastodon integrations.
