The Best RSS Feed Readers for Streamlining the Internet
I’m a paid Inoreader user. Arrived there from Feedly<Google Reader<AvantGo<PointCast and other local tools.
I highly recommend RSS to deliver your news to you. Beats re-checking a long list of favorites for updates, by far.
There’s a Moon over Margaret Street tonight…
In Apple’s Post-Jobs, Post-Ives design era, I feel like device industrial design is looking a lot like Jobs-era design, before Ives spoke and presented during product releases.
In other words, the devices look very familiar.
ADHD Tax: When I panic about losing my phone while I’m in a meeting. Phone was less than a foot from my person but I had set another object on top of it.
Anyone else noticed the increased usage of the word Cyber, recently? Just me? Cause I’m old enough to remember its overuse the first time around? I miss those days, when we thought everything was going to be cooler by now.
That feeling when you get the email from the vendor that an item has shipped. Yet the tracking number reveals only that the label has been printed and the shipper has not yet taken possession of the item.
A new day brought new places to type and click to resolve more kinds of technical issues. There was significant terror over several days. If I make it through the evening without a phone call, I may relax.
Then, somehow, Plan D crashed on the landing.
Tomorrow is another day.
That thing where the supply chain issues in our country from sea to shining sea means executing on Plan D. I delivered but I hate it.
When you find a British show about designing kitchens and discover that you had already been following the firm on Instagram: deVOL Kitchens
Welp, I’m all in on iCloud email. Deleted the G-Suite account for my vanity domain. I changed the MX records about two or three weeks ago. I had about an hour of angst while the Time To Live for G-Suite expired, but mailflow begain immediately and I haven’t had any trouble.
This is from a selfie my daughter took with her iPod. The Photos widget in iOS presented me a cropped version highlighting her face—which I attempted to emulate, here. I was really struck by the quality of the light and shadow.
Jupiter, Saturn, and lens flare
Celiac Pet Peeve: When you check the ingredient list of the thing you bought (because you were sure it didn’t have wheat in it), and you learn to your dismay (after you popped some into your mouth and are chewing), that, yes, it actually contains wheat.
Trust no one.
I had an espresso machine, now I don’t. But today I wish I could quickly get a couple of shots. As I’m tied to a conference call, I’m sticking to what I have brewed.
More coffee! Because sometimes you have a short night and a long weekend work exercise to monitor.
Bless you, you delicious roasted beans!
I was going to make a meteorological joke about morning mental fog lifting later this morning, after coffee, but I couldn’t figure out how to make it funny. Because I haven’t had the coffee yet.
I did not expect the Apple Watch to add as much complication to the phone transfer as it does. Un-pairing the watch effectively resets it. Pairing it to the new phone will restore it, if it was backed up via the previous phone.
T-Mobile got me going, eventually. Grateful for the work of three individuals. Trick was to use the eSIM. Things worked great once sorted. Enrolled in beta, updated to 15.1, and restoring from previous device at the moment
It has become clear during the process of transferring devices and service how much the Apple Watch is dependent on an iPhone. It’s not unto itself and moving from one device to another is an effective wipe and re-load.
Received new iPhone, but will be interesting to see if T-Mobile can get service to it. They didn’t ship a new SIM, and swapping doesn’t work. I tried 5 times to activate service via the web site and I’m more than an hour into hold time.
Silly, silly me. I assumed that if I signed into iCloud via the Contacts app, I would only be synchronizing contacts. This is not actually the case. I do not have time for this but I’m going along for the ride. Long story. Getting longer.
Donating my 14th pint #bloodselfie
I am triggered with song whenever I encounter the place name Gitche Gumee. It’s about a legend that lives on, from the Chippewa on down…
Team meetings sometimes are frustrating. I’ve noticed, though, that sometimes the frustration is with myself, learning that I had preconceptions that were wrong, or that there are many more valid perspectives than I had been considering.
Upside? I get to learn from this.
