No one tells you the side effect of having a glass panel front door means large dogs leave large nose prints. A pain to clean

I know that it isn’t here yet but have been watching fold8 reviews. I have almost talked myself into getting the iPhone ultra when it is announced. still depends on how big the compromises are though. But many of them aren’t that huge for me… MagSafe though, that’s a biggy

Think I need to reduce the games on my phone a little bit. Have over 50 on here. Some from 15 years ago. Not sure if I will ever play them again. Still great games but not sure if i will replay final fantasy 1 again for inatance

Rory was on my shoulder and sneezing Got a good pic of her

Cranking up wondercrawl downstairs:)

K, my wife is stoned. Fun edibles :) Got in a mood and she wanted to create a tool to help with work and credit tracking I suggested Claude since I use it a lot at work. She has been down here for the last 30 mins having fun creating an app. So far it is doing a great job, great questions

@kbspangler.com Just finished the Side Quested book, My only problem is that i need more :) Been a fan of it on the web, but was really nice having the book. Great writing and art in it! Now just bought the first Rachel Peng novel to read :)

Got the Süti PhoneBack in saddle brown nano leather this week. Looks great on the orange iPhone. The color is almost a perfect match to the Sienna case. Great for those times that I am around the house and don’t need a full case

Not a total fan of AI in general, but we are undertaking a complete system rewrite using it.

Rory all cuddled up in the blanket Hate to disturb her.

Seems lately I have been using Bluesky much more than Mastodon. I think mostly I was using Mastodon due to Ivory

This was on the beta phone app I do have iCloud sync enabled

Malla takes up all my chair

I suspect that we will have another civil war before I die. Hope not but I can’t see the republicans backing down. This could change after Trump dies, which may not be long given his apparent health, or lack of. May be worse, but I don’t think any replacement has the cult following he has.

Malla doesn’t quite fit on Rory’s little couch Think she does it just to get back at Rory She doesn’t even like warm places to lay, and there is a heater on the bed. Which Rory loves

I'm with Mark Hamill, who's with us? 🤔

My wife was organizing the dog toys and had to get Rory, our min pin, to pose in some of them :) We have another bin somewhere with costumes :) #minpin

Sitting here reading some of the news for the day. Always more than 1 thing a day happens that is really discouraging. Doesn’t really fill me with a lot of hope in the future.

Daughter got me a Filson gift card for Xmas. Trying to decide on what to get. Like the tin lined cruiser jackets but trying to decide whether the short or long ones are better. Am NOT a outdoors person so won’t be functional for that use ;)

Still full. Ate way too much Earlier this week new lenses came in for the Apple Vision Pro. Along with the Annapro v2 So decided to take advantage and watch a movie on the headset as my wife is watching YouTube food reviews :) Still feeling sapped of energy :) #visionpro

Wife is running the NYC Marathon this morning Am proud of her Especially since there are multiple marathons coming up in the next couple of months. Am home taking care of doggies, keeping couch warm

Finally my eye is feeling a bit decent after Wednesdays cataract surgery Had a two-fer The gel injected behind the eye wasn't going down super quick, so eye was still swollen. Then had a wound on the eye from removing the sterile drapes. So much pain. But better now and vision is better

Total bast from the past. Was looking through my photos and came across a few when I was playing around with doing some digital art. May get back into it. Was kinda fun and relaxing

Definitely has been challenging here trying to have a SIL with dementia living with us. Would be nice if the other brothers and sisters would step forward and help a little. Or at the very least not to make it harder. Trying to maintain our own life despite this.

Go in this week for a cataract surgery I had a retinal detachment a few years ago, and though they fixed that, it caused the cataract to form On the plus side, they will fix the vision in that eye. On the other hand, will make using is Vision Pro harder for a bit

Am considering getting a HomePod mini for the bedroom Don't NEED it though ;) I just love my OG pair I have in my office. So convenient

In other news I always get the shot in my left arm, but I also sleep on that side. Painful :)

We all got the Covid booster and flu shot yesterday. Course we had a meltdown here. We are taking care of my SIL due to dementia. My other SIL is anti vax, so convinced her she shouldn't get the shot Worked through that though, but wasn't easy.
