This should be a blog post but I've been posting "cost of Apple Fanboyism" annual posts for a while. Basically what's the cost of buying one device in every segment / line Apple has per year and that has creeped up a LOT in the last decade. I think we're reaching a point now …
An update on iPad, every few years I go without for a while to see if I miss iPad. I do already miss it but it’s not because it can't do anything my mac can't do. For the record, I am on the waiting list for a loaded iPad Pro with all of the features but I'm hoping that the 4 week wait …

bigagnes_ #BattleMountain2 and #BattleMountain3 side by side. They are a generation apart but i think the 3 will be what joins me on this trip.
The new @doubletakemirrors setup is amaazing! So glad i upgraded. Only unknown will be how little vibration there will be.
I have sold my M1 12.9" iPad Pro for $850. Pretty solid return for a $1599 device purchased 3 years ago. That's net to me after fees. I have not decided if I'm going to replace it yet.
Pre-trip oil change and did some other fluid work. Also, new tires are on and wash is complete. Time to start packing it up.
New Rubber! @motoztires Tractionator GPS for the long trip out west.
#R1300GS Exclusive getting a new rear shock at 0 miles. Wonder what theyre putting in. #bmwmotorrad
clearwaterlights #Erica #Dixi #Sevina Combo on an #R1250GSAdventure. I think this is my first artistic Instagram upload.
I’m going to go drill 2 holes in an aluminum plate and am really anxious about it.
#701EnduroLR in for a Clutch Slave Cylinder issue. Should be back in a couple of days.
@kolin SAVE THE HATCH!
@gruber "I can’t help but see some incongruity between the performative outrage over Apple’s “Crush” ad last week and the fact that the top-trending tech videos on YouTube today are of people destroying the very same iPads the “Crush” ad was promoting." I'm glad you said this.
Big milestone for my nearly 20 year old YouTube channel. 2025 will be 20 years of uploading videos to the internet.
2 more certs to go before I take a break. 12 months to 10 total (1 not pictured, CSM). Next up, PMI-RMP and PMI-PBA
Swings and air time are her jam.
Alright, more stuff for sale. Already sold one bag for $650. Hoping to raise enough to some nice stuff for the trip.
I inventories all of my camping gear last night. Threw away some things, put other things in a sell pile and was able to create a list of things I need to buy for the upcoming trip (why do I keep losing headlamps?) For sale pile should net me enough to get a new satellite phone.
Tips for running Marathon (1994) as efficiently as possible: “Don’t run background tasks while playing Marathon. This means you should quit open applications before launching Marathon and close open control panels in the finder. Also, make sure your computer isn’t printing.” via - …
@gruber I personally don’t understand why Apple never capitalized on merch. Just sell the stickers, shirts, pens, coffee cups online. I’ve traveled to HQ many times just to grab merch.
