Performing a ‘streaming audit’ for my household. We don’t have a cash-crunch issue at home but I am concerned about ongoing price increases and overall content satisfaction.

@kolin you catch any fall foliage? Should be peak soon up there.

Really getting comfortable with Apple’s 6TB of storage. Note, I am not storing my RAW images in iCloud. That’s over 12 terabytes and on my NAS. Not paying Adobe for that, either.

It's Monday.

@harrymccracken As someone with a 2 terabyte+ iCloud library with 150K photos, this process is all too familiar to me. Every new Apple device I purchase needs about 4 weeks plugged in to process my library. Imagine buying a new Macbook Pro and even though you restore from Time machine, your GPU is …

@kolin please share this journey. Or keep a diary. Change is good. But writing down your emotions and fears in the moment is good too.

2023 Flue & Covid shot complete. Probably going to be my last covid shot though but with a kid arriving November, honestly I just can't deal with any downtime this Winter. Flu this is my 4th year in a row getting that.

One Week Post-Op doctor visit. Exposed my ankle and cleaned it up. It looks really great. Some swelling still around the two incisions but I can start physical therapy (non resistance / non-weight-bearing) and I'm on track to get a boot next week meaning no more scooter or crutches. YAY

Used 6.45 terabytes this month. Not bad.

MacOS Sonoma up and running on the home computer but I'm still uploading 4,700 or so videos to iCloud. Looking forward to getting that over with but thankful for 1gig fiber.

Surgery update, 6 days out and I am putting more weight on the ankle than I should. Yesterday, back in the office and knee scooter continues to come in handy. Really hoping tomorrow's doctor visit equals boot and stitches out but initially it was going to be 2 weeks on the scooter.

@charlie not as if I disabled your account but I may have disabled all comments.

@charlie That's pretty odd. Although it's something I may have disabled a while back. I'm sorry.

The only feature that tempted me from iPhone 14 to 15 was the capturing of spatial video. I don't plan on getting an Apple Vision Pro year-one but with a new kid on the way, I'm excited about the prospect of shooting spatial video and filling up my 6 terabytes of iCloud+ storage with it. At …

Had not posted my Apple purchases this year. Nothing for me but the wife got: iPhone 15 Pro Max - 512GB AirPods Pro 2 - USB-C I tried to push her to upgrade her Series 7 Apple Watch but no dice. I had decided early this year no Apple products for me this year. With the purchase of the Canon R5 & …

I looked it up. Florida law does have a carveout that any "foot propelled scooters" would still be considered a pedestrian.

This photo taken Saturday cruising around Gainesville and confused..am I a bicycle or a ped?

My knee scooter now has a cup-holder. It really is the little things in life.

Back in NC. Great weekend and we made the most of it despite my ankle situation. Saw family, went to a Gators game. My wife drove the entire time due to my ankle. Last day at home with the leg up working before returning to the office tomorrow on my knee scooter.

Also, donuts this morning were pretty delicious.

I have come to a realization that I didn’t have to finish high school. My wife and mom are very alarmed by this statement but honestly, when I interviewed at Apple, they never asked for my high school transcript. When I was a tech blogger no one required it. Startups didn’t. None of my employers …
