I think Apple is still playing it too safely and I want them to push the envelope on cutting-edge.

Another one? Sure, allow power users to cast their iPhone or iPad as a bare-bones MacOS-like terminal when connected to a keyboard, mouse and display. Let me use full Mail.app with just my iPhone when at a hotel business center. We have super computers in our phones and yet I'm still carrying …

Sure another example, completely re-write Spotlight to scan every accessible file locally, connected and on-network and surface things important to me, offer context, clean things up and propose automations to repetitive tasks without me having to write Apple script or open Shortcuts.

Just one example, I want Apple to automate my video workflow. Give me one-touch fixes to audio and color grading and auto-editing then export those in formats that are friendly for both widescreen and vertical video from video captured on 5 different source devices.

Preparing to be whelmed by WWDC today. There is so much I want Apple to take up but with over a dozen platforms, major initiatives and many more dozens of pieces of software I rely on for my livelihood all way past due for a reset along with automation needs, I'm expecting very little of that to …

Great evening last night. Ben drove up to Charlotte. Saw Maddix in concert and had Waffle House at 3AM.

This is the final #SummerTrip Map. Yellow = @ridebdr / #orbdr #WABDR, #IDBDR and #WYBDR, Red = #continentaldivide , Blue = Dempster + #transamericatrail. I won’t be riding all of these roads but this gives me a few options and connectors so I can adjust my route based on timing, delays, …

3 days until I leave for Oregon. Doing the final touches on my GPX file of the route and final overview video.

My #R1250GSA has finally left the area! The trailer just passed through Asheville heading to Redmond OR for @BMWMOA’s #NationalRally

I finally purchased a wireless microphone for videos.

My bike has been loaded onto a trailer and is headed to Oregon.

I think I'm going to ask the doctor to do more labs on Monday and then maybe I stop all multivitamins, drinking and Moujaro for 2 months and retest every 4 weeks to see if things improve?

Looks like we're good: -Status post cholecystectomy without visualization of the common bile duct. No evidence of intrahepatic biliary dilatation. -No overt sonographic evidence of cirrhosis. -LIVER: Normal in grayscale appearance. No sonographic evidence of mass. No intrahepatic biliary …

I don't have many of those “life events" these days but the whole “I took 3 months off work and planned a 15,000 mile motorcycle trip only to find out I could have a serious liver issue 3 days before leaving" is really one of those moments. My family is already in New Hampshire, …

Ultrasound scheduled for tomorrow.

Well that’s not good.

Theme of this trip. I just checked cell phone coverage on my 12,000 mile trip and I'll have a connection maybe 2 days. All backcountry woods so no cell phone service.

Summer time means my head is shaved. Bring on the helmet weather.

Just finalized my summer leave. I'm away from work from June 12th until August 26th then back in the office on September 3rd.

Trying to figure out how I provide updates here with my upcoming trip. I can just share random photos. Maybe I link to bits of media online? I dont' plan to blog much but we'll see.

I think next week I'll be camping in a desert.

With the recent arrival of the 16mm f/2.8 and 50mm f/1.2, I’ve upgraded all of my EF lenses to RF except my last fisheye which I’ll do during Black Friday. These join the 24-70 f/2.8 and 70-200 f/2.8 lenses.
