Take it at face value. Big announcement Tim Apple is being replaced by a holographic, more diverse and musically talented Steve Jobs 2.0 AI. The "one more thing" is the singularity is reached and our deaths follow as a band plays us out.

Hope it's a joyful, carefree day

Good to hear, congrats on Oberon, and happy belated!

Good to hear. Looking forward to. Did you ever see Soderbergh’s slightly later The Knick?

For those looking for a brief podcast on Ukrainian history (may have a slant so good to supplement)… The real and imagined history of Ukraine https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-real-and-imagined-history-of-ukraine/id1346207297?i=1000552254822 https://megaphone.link/VMP8516007310

Had the first parent visit on school campus since things got bad with the pandemic today. Saw the classrooms, met some teachers in-person, etc. Good to see Esmé is paying attention in music class.* * BTW, Adopt Me is a favorite game, though I guess it could be a cry for help.

If anyone is a fan of Jon Ronson (Them: Adventures with Extremists, The Men Who Stare at Goats, The Psychopath Test: A Journey Through the Madness Industry), he's got a pretty interesting, compassionate, easy-to-digest BBC4 podcast, called Things Fell Apart, about specific origins in the Culture Wars. I'm sure everyone will have a different favorite, but the collision of second wave feminism with third wave might be mine. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/things-fell-apart/id1592984136?i=1000540367923 https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0011cpr/episodes/player A sample segment of one episode...

Fela Ransome-Kuti And Africa ’70 with Ginger Baker - Live!

Funny, there was frost on all the cars this morning in sunny Silicon Valley

What is the 1Password non-subscription alternative at this point? Assume it’s no longer LastPass? Man, it sucks every tiny, single product development team is jumping to SaaS. Have to leave Pathfinder after all these years for the same reason.

Bingeing through Somebody Somewhere. When did HBO start doing kind and sweet?

Hope it was a great day (and continues in the night).

Went to a rocky beach with Esmé today and took along those Lomo lens re-creations to test. For any potential interest here are a couple from the Achromat. Fun rendering. Good to get out.

Maita - I Just Want To Be Wild For You

I got my second last week. Hope you have no side effects, but I felt a little weak the next day. As with most issues lately, a nap took care of that. All fine two days out.

Hope it's a wonderful, sunny day.

Speaking of big guys, anyone watching Peacemaker? It’s my smart-dumb, semi-guilty, middle of the night watch.
