 * Going for another stupid walk for my stupid mental health. Might need the
   motivation of a stupid iced coffee halfway through to justify this stupid
   walk. Meet me at the coffee shop to find out. ☕️

 * Sad to see that Micro.blog has to disable cross-posting to Twitter, but I
   understand why. El0n has made it untenable for not-uber rich apps to be able
   to use the service.
   
   Luckily, there’s Bluesky, Nostr, and other services are still supported.

 * I forgot to post today, but I did go for a stupid walk. I walked to check out
   my kid’s band recital. Elementary school band is something special. Luckily I
   didn’t get vertigo this time from all the different time signatures and keys
   being played at once.

 * Incredible to watch Reddit just shit on one of the more popular apps that
   their own community loves and uses. Imagine looking at what El0n and Twitter
   did and thinking “Hmm - yes. That seems like a great idea.” 🤦‍♂️

 * I saw this headline go by and thought “Yep, that’s my province.” and never
   read the article. Turns out, as many have pointed out, only 330 people were
   surveyed with a margin of error of +/- 4 per cent. In a province of over a
   million. 🫤

 * One anecdotal sign that Apple+ and MLS is a good partnership, for his
   birthday my nephew asked for Apple Store gift cards - not to buy apps or
   games, but to pay for an MLS subscription. And that was before this deal with
   Messi was announced.

 * Welp. There goes my 1Password subscription.

 * How long until Apple resurrects the original iSight camera to bundle with
   AppleTV purchases? 😆
   
   Wednesday June 7, 2023

 * This morning was the first time since I started these stupid walks for my
   stupid mental health that I almost felt like I was looking forward to today’s
   walk.
   
   I don’t want to jinx it or anything. It’s still stupid.

 * In all the discussion of Apple’s Vision Pro announcement, it’s clear not
   enough of you watched Upload on Prime.

 * Admittedly a privileged perspective (Ben Thompson is a tech writer and
   podcaster, appears to have a lot of money, etc.), but his vision of Apple
   Vision is both compelling and sad at the same time.

 * I’m not saying it is the future for sure or that Apple has it nailed, but if
   you haven’t experienced a VR headset in your home yet you really don’t know
   what to expect. My kid has a Quest 2 and it was very weird at first, and has
   gotten very normal very quickly.
   
   Monday June 5, 2023

 * I can’t wait until I don’t have to actually go for stupid walks for my stupid
   mental health and can just imagine myself walking in Apple VR. In the
   meantime… 🚶‍♀️

 * I hope I never get so cynical and bored with life that I can’t see a
   beautiful experience when it’s right in front of me. People are allowed to
   not enjoy a TV series like Ted Lasso, but the way some loved season 1 and
   hated season 3 is something I can’t connect with.

 * I stood next to the supervisor of the Dr. Strange show at Disneyland as he
   checked off items in the show in Notes on an iPad.
   
   I asked “Even Avengers run on Notes?” He replied “You have no idea.”
   
   Sunday June 4, 2023

 * Me all winter: “I’m going to spend all summer outside and never miss an
   opportunity to be outside and hot.”
   
   Me on the second week of warm weather: “The basement is my home now. The sun
   is evil and must be avoided.”

 * SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE, 2023 - ★★★★
   
   Watched on Saturday June 3, 2023.

 * Today for something different we’re going to mow the stupid lawn for our
   stupid mental health, ok? Not ruling out a walk later, but sitting in a
   stupid chair on the stupid deck might be a better option today. 🌞
   
   Saturday June 3, 2023

 * Hey let’s go for a stupid walk for somebody’s (mine? yours?) stupid mental
   health ok?
   
   Friday June 2, 2023

 * Detail (macOS and iOS) looks like a fun new take on video recording and
   editing - built with M1 / M2 devices in mind.
   
   Friday June 2, 2023

 * I’ve taken enough words into my earballs via editing podcasts about
   TypeScript that you’d think I’d understand what it is. But I still don’t
   really get it. And I’m fine with that tbh.
   
   I know HTML + CSS things, and I’m a expert level FrontPage ‘98 user - why
   move forward from perfection?
   
   Friday June 2, 2023

 * Ted Lasso finale - quick thoughts
   
   Thursday June 1, 2023

 * It’s stupid walk time. Let’s go.
   
   Thursday June 1, 2023

 * Top podcast hosting companies by episode share is interesting. I assume
   Spotify for Podcasters is so high because they folded in all the free
   formerly Anchor based podcasts?
   
   Thursday June 1, 2023

 * I’m posting about going for a stupid walk for my stupid mental (and physical)
   health just to keep myself accountable, ok?
