Leaving Redmond Oregon today and heading down to a salt flat in southeastern oregon.

It has been a GREAT @BMWMOA #NationalRally. #F850GSA

Oregon is VERY sandy. #OHV #ORBDR

All three recently elected / reelected @BMWMOA board members and of course @rangerreece who is one of our rally chairs for this year’s #moarally

WE MADE IT TO OREGON #bmwmoarally

Hello from Oregon.

@tvaziri I watched Monster and Fury Road recently. Charlize is perfect in both films. A real master.

DRNK.

Feeling super weird that I'm not going to be back in this office until September 3rd. Going to be weird being gone this long. I'll still have a job but I won't be working. Just odd. All my choice and the next couple of months are going to be interesting in the mental clarity I should …

Genmoji means @gruber gets his long requested Chef's Kiss.

If Apple is building this many email and notification features, ya'll really need to learn how to manage email and notifications.

It appears I will have to use voice for everything? I want to invoke Siri via Action Button and use the keyboard instead of voice. I guess that's not in the cards, yet?

Apple will literally go to the ends of the earth to not say "AI"

I know it's completely configurable but Apple adding iOS Notifications to MacOS just reinforces the Justin Long Qualcomm video.

Let's lean in though. I want iOS to do math for me! I want to present a problem with my voice or text and have it do this for me. I don't need to know Algebra to find out how large a room is and if the couch I want to buy fits in it without blocking the door from opening or if I need to …

Yeah confirmed, I don't know what any of those formulas mean. Why put a parentheses around numbers? I'm not even going to bother googling that.
