I really need a better motorcycle lift setup.

If I can't get work done on it, I'm returning it. I watch 100% of video on my big screen television usually with my wife. We don't watch TV or movies on anything smaller than 75 inches. That includes YouTube. Even in 2005-2010 when YouTube was new and I didn't have an AppleTV, …

Om Malik said so well what I've been feeling: “But the thing is you actually have to be mobile-native to actually appreciate something like this. So if you’ve grown up watching a 75-inch screen television, you probably would not really appreciate it as much. But if you are like me who’s been …

 Vision Pro Ordered. Luckily I live next to an Apple Store now but the first 3 pickup windows I picked were taken out from under me so I'll get to experience it later in the day.

How long after 8AM EST will  Vision Pro sell out of launch day inventory?

Also, this is now how you lift a motorcycle.

It’s Thursday but man am I ready for the weekend. So much to do but 90% of my waking hours are working or holding a baby. This weekend: 1. Range time 2. Finish installing suspension on the BMW 3. Rotate RAM tires 4. Cut some aluminum….long story 5. Clean house 6. Edit 7 videos in the backlog 7. …

@Rycaut I am newly hired (13 months) at my current role and the process involved 8 months of applications, roughly 1100 of them and that funnel was 30 hiring screens where either I or the talent person determined it wasn't the role for me and 20 manager screenings then 15 full interview loops …

@Rycaut People I speak to have said Indeed has helped them get interviews more efficiently and most successful candidates are just using old fashioned networking for jobs like getting a referral. On the hiring side, I don't trust application screening software so I read through all 1000 …

Interesting, clicking “learn more” takes me to a KBase page that doesn’t resolve. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212510

iOS 17.3 Stolen Device Protection must be manually enabled by visiting “Face ID & Passcode" under settings and it's just a slider that enables it. Now, when I go to change my password, a pop up appears with a new experience than just asking me to enter and verity the new password for my …

When you restart into iOS 17.3 (Public and Developer Beta for release candidate), there is no prompt informing you of enhanced security so I guess it falls on us nerds to inform family of what it is and why. Seems too important to not mention it after restart.

Still withholding judgement until I use it but Vision Pro being M2 powered, lack WiFi 6E, have a small sample of "demo scenes" that are immersive, a non-usable keyboard and a strap system that is either too heavy, hard to seal or pinches your hair and only gets 2 hours battery isn't …

Busy weekend: Hiked 6 miles Ran 2 miles (twice) tore down my big bike for a suspension upgrade Did annual maintenance on another motorcycle 50K mile service on my Diesel RAM Organized the garage Deep Cleaned 3 rooms in the house Drove family to the airport Hosted a friend at the house for a day …

Oh hey it's Friday.

How in the heck did I overfill my oil this oil change? Sigh. I need a lift.

I received my Tesla Cybertruck Order Email. I love how the truck looks but the functionality and specs have me cancelling. However, going through the process, I just feel so grifted by this company and I haven't even bought the truck yet. Everything has an asterisk or is a flat out lie. They …

Weight loss has stalled. Been strictly in the 236 pound camp for a month. Going to cut out all alcohol again in hopes that jump starts things.

Crappy iPhone photo but I am so thrilled to share a photo of @jesseluggage’s new Pro Boxes that are DIRECT FIT to the #R1250GS Adventure racks. You go buy a #R1250GSA or #R1200GSA and you can put these right on your bike. More better photos coming soon but these are SOOO beautiful. They make my …

I have a blog post written but not posted yet about guns. I really don’t know where I can talk about this hobby without being branded a certain way politically. I would like to occasionally share milestones in hopes people here are okay with it. What I don’t want is to foster a follower group of gun …

First competitive match. 50 and 75 feet. Pistol. The G34 is a full size and the G26 is a subcompact. It’s a bit harder to control. Been practicing for weeks. Going to do at least one competition a month.

@Rycaut I have 1 unread email. I guess we use email differently. I unsubscribe from everything not directly adddressed to me and have never subscribed to a newsletter. That’s what RSS is for.

Despite what i said in my blog, I think I'm still going to pre-order an  Vision Pro and experience it but will utilize Apple's return policy if it really feels 1.0. I felt like a beta tester with the first Apple Watch and iPad and similarly MacOS 10.0 / 10.1 and I expect it'll be …

Apple Vision Pro will be available starting at $3,499 (U.S.) with 256GB of storage. ---- "Starting at” means there will probably be a 512GB version at $3799 w/ $149 for lenses or just under $4,000 before tax. Pricey. If you choose 0% Card financing, that'll be 12 months at $325 a month.
