This is what $350 worth of LEGO looks like. Worth it.

Photo dump from this weekend in Bodega Bay with the Redwood Coast Rivian Club… https://redwoodcoastrivianclub.com

Photo dump from last night’s excursion with the Bay Area Rivian Club for our BARC in the Park, BARC in the Dark event at the Robert Ferguson Observatory in Sugarloaf Ridge State Park.

I realized I haven’t posted anything to my blog in a long time I moved it back to Micro.blog to see if that sparks any kind of motivation.

First road trip in the Rivian R1T to LA. 8 hours flat, 2 charging stops. So much better than the Tesla Model Y!

San Jose Earthquakes v. FC Cincinnati @ PayPal Park.

First time charging at a Rivian Adventure Network charger. Much better experience than a Tesla Supercharger. Plus, I’m loving the Live Update on my Lock Screen.

Never vlogged before in my life, but since buying my Rivian, I’ve: Created all the social accounts for it Started vlogging my adventures Bought all the equipment It's really a lot of fun! You can follow my adventures with Guinevere at the following: YouTube Instagram Twitter/X

Say hi to Guinevere, my new Rivian R1T.

I forgot how much work is involved in creating a new YouTube channel, and all the Social Media accounts…

When your company holds their annual off-site meeting, but you’re the newest employee and don’t know anyone…

New office with Bay vibes.

When in Rome…

Finally started watching, and caught up, on Monarch. I’m really enjoying the show, but I seriously hate the writing. It’s like a college screenwriting student wrote the dialogue. Is it just me, or am I right?

How am I just now hearing about Bardcore?!

That time that my friend and I were in the LA Times, talking about our aviation club… Prep School Address Helps Aviation Class - Los Angeles Times

Picked up a pair of AirPods Pro with the USB-C case. Gotta say…I love Adaptive Audio. It took me about an hour to get used to it, and now I don’t know how I can use any other headphones…

Morning reflections over a nice, hot cup of Yorkshire Tea.

Preseason between the San Jose Sharks and LA Kings (well, the Ontario Reign, the Kings AHL team, playing as the Kings for the preseason). It was weird seeing hockey in a different arena than Staples Center (I refuse to call it by its new name). Kings beat the Sharks 2-1 in a great OT period.

iPhone 15 to the (Ultra) Max: Woke up at 450a to order the new iPhone (upgrading from the 14 Pro Max, getting the 15 Pro Max). Ordered through Verizon (my carrier) because they were offering some really great incentives (including the Watch Ultra 2, which I don’t need, but got anyway). 3.5 hours later… After some …

RIP Tony Bennett. I was only 2 when this concert happened, but it was the reason I got into singer-led jazz.

Land and Water Coffee repping alt.drinks in 2023.

This video by MKBHD is a fascinating dive into how Apple markets its products without using “common” buzzwords. As a former Apple employee, I can safely say we find it annoying as well. 😏

@stroughtonsmith If the game is half as good as the trailer, I’d give it an A+.

Drove out to Francis Ford Coppola Winery today. I was really excited, but came out disappointed. I was really expecting more from the “museum”. However, it did allow for a stop in Downtown Healdsburg, where one of my favorite butcher shops in all of CA resides, Journeyman Meat Co. Plus, …

Initial Thoughts on Vision Pro: Here are some of my thoughts on the new Apple Vision Pro… $3499. Yikes. However, I think I can get over that with the rest of my points... This is an amazing piece of technology. What they packed in there is just insane. It essentially eliminated the need for pretty much every tech-driven …

Beautiful day for Mets baseball. I’ve now seen them play in 8 parks around the country. Of course, they beat the A’s 3-2. It was a good day…

Way more happy than I should be to have my Breville Oracle Touch back from repair. I almost forgot what a good cup of home brewed coffee tasted like.

Fog over the northern Sonoma valley, getting on an Avelo flight to Burbank a couple of weeks ago.

LA Kings Fanfest 2023: The rare moment I’m in front of a camera. Totally worth it to meet my favorite LA Kings player, Pheonix Copley (he’s the starting goalie, and yes…that’s how he spells his name). This was at the 2023 Kings Fan Fest at the Microsoft Theater (across the street from Staples Cen…I mean Crypto.com Arena). …
