Nintendo, Galaxy 2 came out like 15 years ago. I think it would be ok if I launched this version 40 minutes before official “release” time.

Thanks! That’s Rocket. He was rescued from a parking lot. We adopted him from his rescuer.
Meatball, his “brother,” we adopted from the local shelter. They’re both goobers.
Meatball is currently yelling at me to get him dinner while I make the kids’ dinner. He’s already eaten.

Love the new Pebble Time 2 design @ericmigi.com & crew released this week. Broke out my Pebble Time (1) launch hoodie!
In 2015, got to go to the launch event for the first Pebble Time, was interviewed by the LA Times about the watch, and even participated in an unaired (Japanese?) PBS (?) interview

Motorola Timeport. I often think fondly back on the build and simplicity. It also was in the era before digital (?) cell signals so there wasn’t that delay that remains to this day with cell phone calls.
