I will say, as someone managing a Program Management Organization for a FinTech with 142 million members who is also a newborn dad, I am good with hanging it up for a few years after I pass these 3 exams. I'd love to expand to Six Sigma Lean Black Belt and Prince2 but those are going to be …
Since August of 2023, I've passed: PMI-PMP PMI-PGMP PMI-ACP PMI-AHPP CSM PSM --- I've been approved for and have purchased: PMI-RMP PMI-PBA PMI-PMO-CP I want to knock out those three exams by December then (honestly) I'm done with certifications for quite some time with nothing else on …
For quite literally 14 months, I've been studying for various certifications. Tonight is no different. I don't know what the end goal is but I have to be insane to be reading this boring-ass-shit at midnight but I have an exam in 6 days (the PMI-RMP) and would really like to pass it the …
@gruber I thoroughly loved the campout experience and faithfully did it from 2003 (Panther) until around 2018 but with day-one delivery being so reliable now across dozens of channels, it honestly doesn't make logical sense anymore. The last 2 years, I was all alone until a minute or two before …
@jtylko Holy crap! That’s awesome. Damn, that was a LONG time ago.
I think if you want an Apple Watch that will last many years of abuse, a DLC coated Ultra is exactly what you want. You’re hedging your bets against beating the crap out of it and the higher capacity battery will continue to perform well after 3-5 years of charging cycles at only $110 more than the …
I think reviewers are underselling the Black Ultra 2 just as they usually undersell the Hermes Edition watches. The Ultra 2 (2024) is the only DLC treated Apple Watch available. DLC has been a staple of Apple Watch since the Series 0 in 2014 then becoming exclusive to Hermes for the last 2 …
Just adding that Mann is not saying this is an SLR replacement. I just know that if I went to Kenya, I'd be using a real camera and using the iPhone to take photos of the menu at a restaurant I was eating to send to my friend or a photo of my breakfast for a FourSquare check-in.
I'm seriously NOT pixel peeping here - https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e97bf37b5f38a138db297b3/75d9b076-2b56-4a5a-9d1c-80a82d95ad0e/IMG_4889-2.jpg?format=2500w (Hoping this isn't copyright infringement. I'm sorry if so) but it's just a blurry photo. 90% of my work is …
Austin Mann's iPhone Review has a section, "Buying Advice for Photographers" and I agree with everything written. But as usual and this is NOT a dig on Mann, "copy image URL" and opening this images in Safari on my 32" display shows just how far iPhone has to go to …
Well crap. I listed my Apple Watch Ultra on Swappa and set it to the highest price compared to all others. It just sold for $560 or at least that’s the net to me. Wish I had ordered a new watch last week but I guess it’s time to package it up and sell it.
i am surprised that iPhone 16 Pro doesn't have an improved Spatial Video resolution. I was really hoping they'd increase it from 1080P to 4K. …
I like how Apple has redesigned iOS 18's iCloud Storage pane.
I have removed the USB-C to Lightning in my truck that was installed behind the the radio and trim and replaced it with the gorgeous Apple Black Braided USB-C / USB-C cable that came with my iPad Pro. Ready for the iPhone 16 to arrive.
@gruber - I thoroughly enjoyed your piece but of the commentators' opinions I've read the last week on 2024 Apple, everyone has forgotten Apple Vision Pro exists. Maybe it's just too early to tell but while I'm not ready to buy one myself, that is visionary and probably doesn't …
Dropped my iPhone 14 Pro Max 1TB off at FedEx this morning. It sold so insanely fast and I'm a good person so I shipped it within 1 business day of sale. Sale price $1050 for a phone I paid $1599 for 2 years ago. Pretty good. Yes, this does mean that I do not have a phone to use until Friday. I …
Studying.
Request though. I’d love the option in monochrome to still have colored red badges for notification bubbles.
I last reset cellular data usage on July 1st. This seems excessive for 2 months. I’m surprised Verizon hasn’t sent me a letter.
Request for 1Password and Apple Passwords. If a site’s URL no longer resolves, recommend I archive that password. I have 800 compromised passwords. Okay yeah, I know but Dmoz.org and Geocities.com no longer resolves so like…do I need to click through and change my password?
Monochrome is sweet.
Priorities change. But I’d say that spending $250 seems cheap now in just total effort. Like I had a guy in Copenhagen line up for me and spend €60 and mail me the bottles and I sent him $100 in beer. Very stressful. Nice to know there are online sellers …
No context other than the effort I put to get these bottles in 2015 was insane. Opening them 9 years later was a nice treat.
@ybrammer WHOA! That's a lot of traveling. I'm just hopping on the dirt bike and showing up 5 minutes late :P
@ybrammer ...and you can't beat the coach shouting Ef-Bombs at the ref all night.
