    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…

    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…

    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 ridiculous issues with Verizon (balance due on an account I had with them years ago), and my bank being stupid (but safe, thankfully), everything was ordered.

    RIP Tony Bennett.

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

    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. 😏

    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, they have these awesome paintings in the bathroom…

  • 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 device in your house. You no longer need a TV, sound system, or a computer. Obviously, I am writing this *right after* the Keynote, so I don't know what connectivity looks like, so there could be more on this list. Continue reading →

    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.
