I listen to the Apple New Today podcast every day. I find it to be the best of the <10 min morning news summaries. I have noticed that in the last few months ANT has been adding more and more sound bites from ESPN. With all the talk about Apple buying Disney, I wonder if Apple in particular wants ESPN.
I have no good feelings for Mitch McConnell. At all. On any level. That being said, when he froze up and then regained a bit of lucidity, his assistant asked reporters, “Any more questions?” 1) That’s incredibly callous, bordering on eldercare abuse and 2) How was the very next question not, “Are you going to call an ambulance, you fucking monster?”
McConnell not doing something while he is clearly declining really represents America at the moment.
We do love our children so, part 6,291.
We’re at a hotel’s freebie breakfast and some dad just walked by with a cup of sausages.
Mrs. Bob and daughter announced at supper tonight they are going to see Barbie on Tuesday (the day after we drop the boy off at college). I turned to him and started to say, “Tuesday is me and you, bud” but I stopped myself half way through. I couldn’t swallow. I couldn’t speak. My TV buddy, my movie buddy, my news buddy is heading off to start a new chapter. I am so proud of him. But wow does it hurt.
So, I was reading this article about curvy walls and it, of course,* made me remember a scene from Veep (best. show. ever).
*At least how my brain works.
Ever since I switched my #wordle starting word to AUDIO I’ve been far more successful than in the past.
How I measure a successful weekend now: I used $25 Target gift certificate that’s been sitting in my inbox since 2016.
I just got back from vacation and am announcing here first that I’m to marry Glacier National Park. #nationalpark
So I’ve given up on Instagram, Twitter, and now Reddit. Just a little more to go.
Murder! Our media will be our downfall.
I complain a lot about the world (rightly so!), but this weekend was excellent. My family made a really nice Father’s Day(s) for me and I feel really good.
I finally got around to fixing up my Piggy. The stabs were overlubed and now they are just right.
This is the Piggy with White on Lilac in the DSA profile. The switches are Emerald Silks which are unfortunately no longer available, but these NovelKeys silks are the same, just in a different color.
It’s like the show Extrapolations outside my window here in NYC.
Tech sites: Man, traffic is down, ad sales are down… Maybe Apple will create something we can all have hot takes on.
Intern: Even without using the thing?
Tech sites: Yes.
Apple: Here’s our idea for a new kind of computing.
Intern: I wrote up 1,000 words about how this will make us all sad forever.
Tech sites: Without using the product?
Intern: Yes.
Tech sites: Attaboy!
Apple was dreaming of Apple Silicon since Steve Jobs came back to Apple. Heck, many of their products were built as if they were already using their own chip design: Power Mac G4 Cube, original MacBook Air, 2013 Mac Pro.
Can you imagine if the cylinder Mac Pro came out today with Apple Silicon? What a great Mac that would be with the high-end M1 Ultra, 128GB of RAM, and 8TB of storage!
I hope next week we see a totally different Mac Pro designed with Apple Silicon in mind.
