Oops! Made the coffee a little strong this morning. But also? Mmm! Delicious!
I don’t know who first popularized a breakfast sandwich. I came to know them via the McDonald’s breakfast menu. But can I just say they are one of my favorite things?
I’m opting for ad-supported corporate surveillance over my paying for same. So, no to paid verification for me, for now.
When you set your alarm for 5:45 PM but blessedly wake up close to the appointed hour from anxiety

My work phone, in my pocket, unbeknownst to me, while I was seated in a meeting, interpreted simultaneous button presses as the need to call emergency services. So. Now, I’m trying to suss carrying two phones in a way that doesn’t cause that problem a second time.
The built-in QR Code Scanner functionality is broken on iOS if you actually have to interact with the web page in the same way you would in a Safari session. The fact that it doesn’t actually send the link to Safari kills me. If you switch away, it vanishes.

Finally seeing the Mac Mini offered with the amount of internal storage to properly manage a large iTunes (Apple Music, Apple TV) library.
While the cloud is getting better and better, I still like the idea that I can play media without approaching data caps.
When someone posts a collection of music they think is good and then you spend money on music: Rare Shoegaze Gems From All Eras Unearthed
