No longer who I was and still trying to figure out who I will be. Open to suggestions on who and what to be next.

Tell me something you're passionate about.
I recently realized that my birth date was closer to the reign of Queen Victoria than to today.

I would stand up if my back wasn't being annoying at the moment.
Q: how much is acetaminophen vs. better diagnosis?

RFK Jr jumps in to answer, says it's a 'canard' that has been completely debunked, it's just common sense because you(he) don't see autism in people older than 50!

(autistic people over 50, stand up!)

Who on earth wants an ORANGE #iPhonePro?

Is the #iPhoneAir instead of or in addition to the #iPhonePro? I want to know what I'll be carrying for the next year. #AppleEvent

If you wear your #AppleWatch while you sleep: when do you charge your watch? #AppleEvent

The " #AppleWatch saved my life" videos always make me weepy. #AppleEvent

Thanks in advance for sharing this in your networks. My hopes are that some way or another, my appeal will be reviewed by a human. If you know anybody I should speak to, or can think of anything useful to do at this stage, do let me know.

So where's the best place to chat during the #wwdc keynote?

Bluesky, Mastodon, or ?

Or do you have a private Slack, Discord, or Signal? Invites, please!

Sunday evening: the Tony Awards
Monday morning: the WWDC keynote

Dori versions 3 and 4 are arguing over which to be more excited about.

There was software before Bill Atkinson, and there was software after Bill Atkinson. The fact that the latter is nothing like the former is in large part due to his genius.

Apple, please consider renaming the Apple Design Awards after Bill. It would be a fitting and timely honor.

Thiiiiis close to being done…

It's still available, if it looks like something you'd like.

I popped by my local three Michelin star restaurant this morning to pick up a half-dozen bagels and some spreads.

How's your day going?

You know you're a long-time Mac laptop user when you automatically initially orient your Macbook to have the apple facing towards you.

If you ever watch one Met Gala, this appears to be the one to watch.

Who's got 2025 Met Gala drinking game rules? Or do I have to do it myself?

My life would be easier if stage manager notation could be written in Unicode.

OTOH, I understand completely that I may well be the only person on Earth who wants this.

TIL: I am apparently incapable of making a small charcuterie plate. One visit to the fancy grocery store has turned into two large platters.

So far.

RIP Timbuk2 tech accessory bag. You were awesome for many many years.

I offered to set up and run a Keynote preso for someone this week. Today, it sunk in that it's been more than a decade since I last touched Keynote… and back then, I just relied on being married to a Subject Matter Expert.

I always miss you, Tom @negrino.bsky.social, but particularly so this week.

Today's goal: a DaT Scan, which is not the same thing as a CAT Scan.

We're at that time of the year again where I'll be in SF this week, with afternoons and evenings free.

Want to get together? Drop me a line. I'd love to see you!

Guess what film I'm seeing tonight?
