Somewhere at YYZ

Mississauga, second night

Elsewhere in Mississauga

Somewhere in Mississauga

Mourning the death of a social media system whilst extricating myself from it. Letting go of expectations. Not expecting anything else to be the same. Embracing an independent way forward.

I am a huge fan of Apple’s Find My technology. Very expensive losses can be very happily found

Wonderful phrase from a Teams meeting “I’m laughing on mute.” I think that is just amazing on several levels.

I have been giving increasing thought to dropping a phone and phone number altogether. Alas, there are still a few critical use cases.

My sense is that Apple is planning to go through Vision Pro evolution before the phone disappears. In other words, I see Apple’s path passing through iterations of Assisted Reality and Virtual assistant technology, making devices disappear behind services.

I wish that an iPad had the same phone capability as the iPhone itself. I wish now, just as I did when I had a Gen 1 iPad, that I didn’t have to carry so many devices. For the number of actual phone calls I participate in, my watch or my AirPods would work just fine, with an iPad being the center of mobile compute and data. I’m preferring the iPad more and resenting non-iPad software more.
