Sup!

The demos make it seem like the only thing people do is write emails and send messages as they move from one calendar appointment to the next? What about learning about people with multiple calendars? Or, what about that person who gets a ton of email they don’t care about?

I don’t know if it’s just cause I’m sick but all I remember is math notes and chatbots.

The hands holding the phone creep me out some how.

First day out of bed since getting sick on Friday. Going to get the heart pumping with some Dub Dub.

Setting expectations to low and excitement to high!

I want a sick day in iOS.

Sick on a Saturday in Summer

Looking at WWDC 2024

Next Monday, Apple will be holding it World Wide Developer Conference for the year. It usually marks the time that I destroy my cell phone’s battery and complain about all my dropped calls and message malfunctions.

But every year, I find myself enjoying the prospects of something new.

This year, I’m looking forward to it but my expectations are rather low.

Maybe it’s because I am getting older or that I am fulfilled in other ways, but I don’t see much need in a lot of the promise that some of the newer technologies are offering.

I like having transcripts for my podcasts.

I like having more cohesive alt messages for my images.

These are good things that really help everyone.

No butts about it. And yes, I gave it two t’s.

I just don’t have any passion for the rest of it. Whether it’s AI, vision, or even an update to how to add contacts to my address book, I’ve been finding myself more and more apathetic to changes in my own technological stack.

I just needed an outlet.

A batch of cookies, including ones with chocolate chips, are cooling on a wire rack placed over a baking sheet in a kitchen.

I hate my landline. All I get is spam calls interrupting my day. It’s criminal the way these people keep calling and trying to take advantage of others. There have been several times that I had to help my parents with some kind of issue related to passwords and security.

XMPP to the past

I took fLaMEd’s idea of adding my XMPP handle to my about page. It’s part of the omg.log service that I signed up for a while ago.

I’ve got two people that I chat with using it. It reminds me of when I was in high school and instant messaging was the thing to do in my social group. It makes me feel a little nostalgic.
