…for anyone complaining I’ve stopped writing. I write a lot but it doesn’t always end up on the blog.
First time I’ve merged my being an Apple fanboy and my role in the bmw community in my monthly column.
Thanksgiving in Florida.

New beginning confirmed
@kolin It was $1299 last Black Friday - https://www.cpricewatch.com/blog/2023/11/why-you-shouldnt-miss-the-canon-stores-insane-black-friday-sale/ I bought the 70-200 and 24-70 last year.
I have purchased 4 RF lens since migrating from EF and that's over the last 3 years. Canon's Refurbished Black Friday sale has been a savior. SAles start at midnight on Friday. Shopping list: RF15-35mm F2.8 L IS USM RF85mm F1.2 L USM RF100-500mm F4.5-7.1 L IS USM RF200-800mm F6.3-9 IS USM
I've been trying other creative solutions like one way is just auto delete anything with "trump" in the content but then I missed an email from my dad. Anyone getting dozens of scary world-ending spams per day and have you found out how to get out from under it? It's just noise and …
As many know, I run a tight email operation. A month ago, I started getting “conservative fear monger spam” for the first two weeks, I unsubscribed to every one but they’re all from different senders so it’s just not working.
This could end up being just another Monday leading into Thanksgiving or it could be a new beginning.
@harrymccracken and support SMS posting. Frankly, I don’t need an app to post and don’t need another app tracking me. You can post from mobile-web I assume but I LOVED SMS Twitter. It was so easy to just text updates.
First day that feels like winter here in Charlotte. It was 39 when I woke up and 44 on the motorcycle ride in to the office.
One my truck is paid off, I'll be ordering a BMW Z4 M40i. This should be a blog post but I’ve been wanting a replacement for my Golf R since I sold it in 2021 and I don't regret selling it for many reasons but I want a sunday warm-weather car that lives in a a garage in appreciates in value …
@sdw I'm thrilled that they maintained the same price. It's essentially a price-cut accounting for inflation and very rare on nearly every product.
@ybrammer DAmn good idea. I was going to say if I was starting over, Mac Mini + TB5 hub loaded with SSDs but I'm using 90 terabytes of my NAS so I'm sort of in ATX-Case x86 zone if I were to build my own. I'd need a LOT of drives.
@ybrammer Sounds expensive. I'm considering just having 10GB drops to a few select ports for now so 2 to my work computer, 2 to the NAS and that’d be it for now.
Delta found my luggage. The long national nightmare is over. Maximum claim was going to be about $1300 which would have covered my clothes and toiletries but there's the whole matter of $6500 in Canon cameras and lenses so I'm thrilled they found it.
Now that my iPad has nano texture, using the MacBook in sunlight is a chore.
Day 4, still no luggage. Delta has been really nice but I’m getting nervous.
@ybrammer Looks like I'd need to spend $2400 - https://store.ui.com/us/en/category/all-switching/products/ecs-24-poe and that's only 16 10GB ports but has POE for my switching I'd need 5 of these, too - https://store.ui.com/us/en/category/all-wifi/products/u7-pro-max
@ybrammer buy once, cry once. My home is wired with cat 6 and my home router (Unifi USG-Pro) I think can do 10G via Fiber but my switch is just gigabit. so I'm just one rack switch away from 10G but it's big money to get a 10G for all 24 drops. I also need to replace my WiFi 5 radios with …
I picked up my 2 suitcases at ATL after customs. I walked around a corner and dropped them off at the place where you re-check your bag for domestic connections. 2 hours later, I arrived in Charlotte and only one of my bags arrived. I have a search running with Delta for my bag and am nervous I may …
YouTube created a media kit for me to send to advertisers. Pretty cool stats. I wish it did rolling 1 year
My work Slack informed me this is my 2nd year at Credit Karma. Nice!
After 2 weeks on iOS 18.2, I've fully disabled all of the Mail features. The Siri priority box, summarizations, sender contact photo and the labels system. The truth is, I am at Inbox Zero every night and already have really complex rules setup and get about 25 personal emails a day and so I …
