It feels like both yesterday and a lifetime ago. On January 5th, 2000, Jobs demoed Internet Explorer 5 for Mac during his Macworld Expo keynote—the first product I worked on.

My first evening of astrophotography this year was very relaxing…and the beautiful setting certainly helped. This photo was taken at Lake Montanis, near Rice Lake, Wisconsin.

Today was fun…my wife and I saw a Dragon and a Falcon, Merlin and a Raptor, and witnessed the birth of hundreds of Starlinks. It was 🤯

As a car enthusiast, I often scan the parking lot when I visit partners or customers to see what vehicles people are driving…this one takes the cake.

I may have missed WWDC, but the best part of visiting the Bay Area is spending time with the people who helped me so much when I began my career. It was amazing to work with them then, and it’s a blessing to still be friends all these years later.

The Apple Vision Pro costs half as much (inflation-adjusted) as the original 1984 Macintosh. The original Mac was ground breaking and led to a very successful product line, but that first version wasn’t a commercial success. Will be interesting to see if Vision Pro is the first Mac or first Newton.

I’m not going to make it to WWDC this year, but my wife is in town and will be tasked with grabbing some swag from the Apple Park store. Anyone know if there are any special WWDC-only shirts like last year?
