Adam Chandler's Micro Blog

@harrymccracken sensationalist headlines are just expected these days. My favorite of the most famous ones was the Business Week cover with Kevin Rose that said “How this kid made millions in 18 months” and at the time, Rose was an adult and clearly NOT a kid but they put his hat on backwards and …

@sagolla I would expect nothing less. Wish I could be there for the 1st one. The 1st iPhone dev Camp was really magical and full of such amazing energy.

Stopped by work to see some co-workers. Nice to catch up.

Alright. Custom Wavefront LASIK scheduled for Tuesday. $4200 poorer but considering I need new glasses and sunglasses and contacts, that makes it hurt a lot less.

@jtylko aka the entire catalogue :P

@jtylko Body Scan Scale - $399 BPM Connect - $130 Sleep Mat - $130 (Replaces the Beddit mat that I was using, a company Apple acquired and abandoned) Thermo - $100 Of course using Apple Watch Ultra for all of the other tracking bits.

The Withings hardware wasn’t cheap. Over a grand all in but daily biometrics that compliment my Apple Watch Ultra data points has been awesome.

Also a Withings feature, this is pretty cool

I think I need to write a blog post about Withings now that I have their entire health ecosystem. Thoughts? I was holding out for more health accessories from Apple but that never came to fruition so I went all in on Withings.

In baby news, she's growing out and up. I go back to work in exactly 2 weeks so we're trying to get her on a schedule that works for us.

Invisalign came out last week. I've now scheduled Lasik for a few weeks from now. I looked through QuickBooks and I spend about $350 a year on eye-wear / contacts (prescription glasses / contacts / prescription sunglasses on a 3 year upgrade / purchase cycle) so the $4100 out of pocket is about …

I finally got around to writing 2 blog posts: Hello Matilda - https://adamchandler.me/blog/2023/11/12/hello-matilda/ A Tattoo Story, 7 Years Overdue - https://adamchandler.me/blog/2023/11/12/life-a-tattoo-story-7-years-overdue/

Seriously, I can hand my wife the #LeicaQ2 and in auto mode she can create what I can only describe as still life art. Here’s the same image made black and white.

I freaking love the warmth Leica brings to completely mundane and quick snaps while we’re out getting lunch.

Lazy morning.

I’m glad we have the M3. My M1 MacBook Pro equals a $5100 (pre-tax) replacement cost before trade-in / selling. Maybe I’ll reconsider when the MacBook Pro finally ditches the awful Mini-LED and finally moves to OLED / MicroLED. Mini-LEDs on the iPad Pro & MacBook Pro continue to be the weakest …

No baby updates for a few days (sorry) but Matilda is doing great. She’s started to gain weight and her liver is now functioning. Heart, hearing and all blood work came back good. Super strong child, and last night, wife and I each got 5 hours of sleep (versus 2 and 3 hours the nights before). She’s …

Not my problem but parking a motorcycle at Costco seems to disrupt the natural world order and the next customer won’t have a space to park. Good thing I didn’t park at the back of the spot or else they would have boxed me in.

Home. Safe and sound.

@lakelady I would have loved to see it live! So much talent.

@lakelady that was awesome!

We get to go home tomorrow.

Day 3 in the hospital. Mom and Matilda are perfect but we’ll still be here until Tuesday.
