Logging my moods and emotions with Apple’s HealthKit can sometimes be a bit obvious. Yes, of course my moods have been fairly negative, I have major depressive disorder (amongst other things).
A notification from Apple Health that reads “Recently, you have consistently been logging unpleasant daily moods. There are several things you can do to support your mental health.”

Oh man, drinks on me folks!

I actually don’t remember what the hell this was about. I haven’t actually used Facebook in over a decade.

I’ve been wanting a way to disable that camera swipe gesture on #iOS since the gesture was introduced.

#ios261
Toggle switch for "Lock Screen Swipe to Open Camera" with instructions to swipe left on the lock screen to access the camera.

I went kayaking for the first time today. It was really fun! Considering I’m a person that gets motion sick just standing in a lake, it didn’t bother me at all really! It was a beautiful morning for it as well.

Oh damn, I somehow missed the news that Apple released updates to allow my Apple Watch Ultra 2 to actually use the blood oxygen sensor! I am quite curious how they managed that.
A screenshot of a software update for iOS 18.6.1 that reads: “This update provides a new Blood Oxygen experience for users in the United States with Apple Watch Series 9 and Series 10, and Apple Watch Ultra 2. Measurements are calculated on iPhone and viewed in the Health app. For information on the security content of Apple software updates, please visit: https://support.apple.com/100100”

I don’t know who made this originally, but I just love it so much! Came across it on my desktop during a cleanup session and wanted to share.

I just discovered the “shaking smilie” emoji and it’s my favorite. It’s my new spirit emoji.
A blurry yellow smilie emoji that is shaking and so much it has motion blur.

I never heard any “talk” about these when I was growing up… in fact I’ve never heard of pickled okra ever before.

The new Vitals feature in the #ios18 #health app is pretty neat. No new data really, but a straightforward way to visual data. When I got #covid a couple weeks ago I felt awful and there was no doubt that I was sick, but interestingly the day before I […]

Neil Fallon of the band of earth rockers known as Clutch has long been one of my favorite lyricists and back when this came out around the 2016 US Presidential Election this particular chunk of lyrics just really spoke to me. #voteforneil
