After watching the Bosch series on Amazon, I’m delving into the Bosch Universe books by Michael Connelly. I really like his writing. After watching the shows, it’s easy to connect Connelly’s characters in my mind’s eye while reading.

I have to be honest… The whole *OS 26 glass look is not bugging me too much. There’s some weirdness here and there, but I’m really not minding it so far. Of course I haven’t delved deeply into my workflows yet, so we’ll see later in the day.
And what’s the first thing I did this morning? I began updating all my devices to their respective OS 26 variants. I swore I wasn’t going to do this… 🤞🏻
Let’s not forget: The US flag flying half-staff today is not for a single right-wing extremist who was assassinated. No. It’s for the nearly 3,000 innocent lives, including eight children, who were murdered on September 11, 2001 — plus the numerous first responders who selflessly came to their aid.
I’ve been able to lock in a return to work date of 10/6 with all my doctors, which is good because the week after is an industry conference (Dreamforce) which my team and I will be traveling to. Having the extra week before will let me get my ducks in a row. I’m so ready to get back to work!
After watching the CNET quick cut of yesterday’s Apple event, there’s nothing for me here. I see no upgrades or updates in my immediate future, including anything OS 26 related.
I set up a “random” post link in my site navigation with @sod‘s Surprise me! Micro.blog plugin yesterday. I’ve already spent too many hours over the last two days clicking it myself, both reliving and cringing at past posts. Fun times…
Back in January, I decided to try Raycast Pro for a year and, after nine months, I’m committed to renewing. Its AI features have come to help validate some of my development decisions and answer questions. Plus it replaces several standalone apps, making the price worthwhile to me.
I’ve gotta say, after a few days, I am not regretting moving my Fediverse presence back to Micro.blog. I think it’s going to stick this time.
It’s always super-dangerous when I go to the watch shop. I went to get a battery replaced in my wife’s Bulova and was so close to walking out with a new Citizen Promaster Dive watch…
Rather than a simple walk around the neighborhood for exercise today, I’m actually getting out on a real hiking trail, even if it’s classified as easy with very little elevation gain. It’s time to get some dust on the trail runners again…
Okay… I pulled the trigger on moving my Fediverse presence back to Micro.blog. If you followed me on my “dot social” instance, you should have been automatically moved here. I’m going to try hard to keep it this way. ✌🏻
I woke up a couple hours earlier than usual today, so I spent the time reorganizing my Obsidian vault and tweaking my OmniFocus setup.
I feel accomplished.
The date has been set for my TCAR surgery. Of course it’s the Wednesday before the Monday I was supposed to return to work. That means I’ll have to take a little extra time off for recovery. Dang it! I’m so ready to get back to the day job already.
I’m in a “simplify all the things” state of mind, which means I’m once again giving serious thought to moving my Fediverse (Mastodon) presence back to Micro.blog and spinning down my single user instance… 🤔
