The first day of Spring calls for pics from Duke Gardens and a new wallpaper/Material You theme. Happy with how this turned out.

Happy First Day of Spring!

Man down...

Michael Scott had it so right a long time ago...

I had the first of two cataract removal/lens implant procedures about 24 hours ago. I'm 39. While I'm not Duke's youngest patient ever, I definitely have to be their youngest patient lately! Here's my still-dialated right eye (vs. regular left eye for comparison).

Nothin' but net...

Here's a timeline cleanse of butterflies on this butterfly app.

Christmas Open House at Duke Chapel.

Our Norway vacation begins in Oslo. First, a trip to the Munch Museum to view "The Scream" and other amazing works. Then, a quick walk over to the Oslo Opera House, where you can walk right on top of it. Then, we took the metro out to Holmenkollen atop the ski jump with an amazing view of 0slo.

By far the best battery day I've had with my Pixel 9 Pro XL. Long day and still at 23% at 11:00 p.m.

Based on advice from my therapist, I started reading "Atomic Habits" and wow was it needed. I'm learning some great stuff so far.

I think a neat and useful feature that's been around for a while is the "Pin live score" feature. Unobtrusive and also a little fun to bounce around the screen.

For those with a Pixel 9 series: Use Gemini to analyze a wallpaper and ask it to write a prompt to recreate that wallpaper in Pixel Studio.

Sometimes it nails it, sometimes not. I've been rocking this recreation as my wallpaper lately.

At first I wasn't sure but...I kind of like this marketing strategy. It sends a clear message that Xbox is not just a console, it's also a platform.
