Relatively short one this week. It’s been gross and rainy outside all week and there hasn’t been much going on.

📱 After a couple weeks using the iPhone Air, I’m back on the iPhone 17 Pro. I have the iOS 27 beta on the Pro, so we’ll see how using that full time goes. I don’t really anticipate issues – it’s been pretty good in my testing – but I’ll find out soon enough.

🍎 WWDC was this past week and Apple announced the 27 OSes. I have the betas installed on my iPad Pro and iPhone 17 Pro (I’m still using the iPhone Air as my daily driver) and it has been solid so far. This is the Liquid Glass they should’ve released last year.

📱 Since I hadn’t used it in a while, I decided to switch back to the iPhone Air this past week. It’s been a fun little experiment. I still do really love the form factor of the Air, but I will probably end up back on the 17 Pro soon.

🇺🇸 Monday was Memorial Day here in the US and it was absolutely gorgeous outside. The pain was tolerable enough that I was able to get my ass out of the house and over to my mom’s to fire up the grill and make everyone dinner.

🏥 Early Thursday morning, the kidney stone in my left kidney decided it was time to GTFO and started moving… and I ended up in the ER.

🏀 The Sixers got swept by the Knicks, 4-0. Game 4 was a shitshow. The Knicks hit 25 3-pointers (which ties the postseason record) and won 144-114. Sheesh. I’m not much of a fan of any of the teams left, so I don’t know how many more games I’ll actually watch until the Finals start.

💻 As I’ve mentioned a few times previously, one of my twins is graduating high school a year early this June. Earlier this week, I decided to get him a MacBook Neo for his graduation present. My original plan was to order one and have it shipped to him, but since 1) shipping times are currently all over the place, 2) I wanted to surprise him with it, and 3) my local Apple Store had the model and color I wanted in stock (512 GB, Touch ID, Indigo), I decided to just go get it and take it with me when I fly out. Hopefully he likes it!

I decided to expand this post a little bit this week. I added a links section with various links I’ve come across during the week that I found interesting and thought you might too.

🚗 The garage door is (once again) fixed. The repair guy said the whole setup is kind of rigged together and he is honestly surprised it works at all. That tracks – the guy I bought the house from back in 2018 was very much an old-school “I can fix that myself” type. He actually reminded me a lot of my dad and his duct tape and bubble gum approach to repairs 😂 (they even knew each other – worked at the same place, just different shifts). Eventually I am probably going to have to replace both openers when this patched-together nightmare finally gives up for good. Good times.

Another short one this week. My life is pretty boring 😂
Week of April 5
🚗 Earlier this week as Melissa was opening the garage door to go to work, the pin that attaches the J-arm to the track snapped off. I ordered a new pin from Amazon to try to reattach it, but can’t get up high enough on my ladder to reach it to try to fix it (my garage doors are massive – like 20’ tall) so I called the guy that fixed both doors back in August. He’ll be here Monday morning at 10 to fix it. Ugh, the bullshit never ends.

Short one this week. I’ve been super busy with work, so there hasn’t been much going on.

🪒 I messed up while trimming my beard and decided that if I was gonna look stupid, I may as well go all out and shave it off. This is the first I’ve seen my face since 2019 and I’m already ready for the beard to grow back 😂

🍎 Apple announced the dates for this year’s WWDC: June 8-12. It starts two days after I get back from Portland, which is great since I won’t have to use janky hotel WiFi to download the OS betas.

💔 Got some sad news on Sunday to start the week. My friend Michael Borland passed away last week. I never met Michael in person – we only ever interacted online – but he was a great guy and always quick with advice or words of encouragement. Please keep his family in your thoughts. He will be greatly missed. Fuck cancer.
