• We should probably follow up on this sample 25 thing from the Perseverance rover on Mars.

  • I visited JBLM with friends today. My first time visiting an active US military base. What struck me is how it’s, at least for the part that I saw, a walled municipality with its own streets, name-brand stores, restaurants, schools, and housing. It feels like a public space, but it’s not. 🪖

  • Smart glasses are a perfect example of a smart-assed device. Can we please solve sunglasses first before we try to monetize my ability to see?

  • In light of Apple reportedly ending Vision Pro development, I’m gonna toss a product idea out there: I don’t want smart glasses. I want glasses with an e-ink display that lets me turn them into sunglasses at the tap of a button on the frame. Full stop. No shitty transitions. That’s the product. 🕶️

  • We’ve recently added the concept of Mac-assed apps to our lexicon. I’d like to contribute another category of apps and devices: Smart-assed. This describes things that try to out guess the user in unhelpful and annoying ways, like turning down the air conditioning when you place the car in park.

  • Had my car towed for repairs this morning. While riding in the tow truck, I saw the MS Queen Elizabeth docked at the Seattle waterfront. Since that’s a Cunard vessel, it got me thinking about Titanic: Project 401.

  • Why was it necessary to grind up Hello Kitty and serve her for lunch? 🐾

  • Great night at Marymoor Park!

  • For realsies: Trombone Shorty! 🪊

  • Okay turns out Trombone Shorty is next up! We didn’t know. We were gifted these tickets. That was St. Paul and the Broken Bones.

  • Trombone Shorty at Marymoor Park!

  • My fancy new sunscreen sans avobenzone has arrived from Japan! ☀️

  • Fun fact: the Brewers originated in Seattle as the Pilots — for one singular season. Their old stadium is a now a Lowes (the one I go to), and there’s a permanent hot dog cart right next to where home plate was. You can get a good Seattle Dog there. 🌭

  • I’m about ready to just fork Synergy and have Claude help me roll my own tool for sharing my keyboard and mouse between machines after the recent releases. I’ve used it for 15+ years. How has this app gotten so freaking terrible?

  • Murder mittens needs a recharge. 😴

  • Fawkes is on the hunt this morning! 🦁

  • Hot tub boat on Lake Union! ⚓️

  • My Vgate iCar Pro OBDII adapter came in handy today. Was able to isolate a problem in my car to some system relating to fuel pressure. Repair appointment scheduled. Hopefully it’s not too pricey to fix!

  • Portland is a vibe and I like it.

  • Drag brunch at Bar Cala and late night stripparaoke at Devils Point were a hit with the girls. Do highly recommend.

  • Going to Powell’s was high priority for this trip. Could spend a week in there and still barely see it!

  • Did some tubing on the Clackamas over the weekend. First time for me!

  • Underwater campsite. 🏕️

  • Did another edit of this photo. I like it in color, but I think it’s better in black and white.

  • Kitten wanted to come to Portland with me.
