Saw Iliza Shlesinger from the front row tonight in Boston and somehow became 10 minutes of the show: me (a fellow Amazonian/Alexa guy) + "Dr. Meagan," who got so many shout-outs from Iliza during the show that people recognized her at the nearby bar after. Surreal, hilarious, peak crowd-work energy.

Watched the Cash Money & No Limit Verzuz event from Las Vegas last night. Mia X & Juvenile definitely carried the show. As a guy who came of age in Baton Rouge & NOLA in the late 90s / early 00s, this is just a delightful watch. 😎 music.apple.com/us/music-vide...

Saw Jon Stewart do a standup special last night at the University of Rhode Island. The guy's still got it. Some solid regional jokes about New England, too. Looking forward to seeing John Oliver up in Boston after Christmas!

Saturday experiment: Fire TV Stick 4K Max > HDCP Bypass HDMI Splitter > ShadowCast 2 > Genki Arcade app on iPad Pro. Fire TV + splitter powered by Anker battery pack. Why? To test/update things on my Fire TV, sans TV or AC power. 🤓

Tim Cook feeling bold: after decades on Nike's board & continuous lobbying along with Charles Barkley, he *finally* gets Auburn University to move to Nike as its official apparel provider in 2025, then doubles down by releasing the iPhone 17 Pro exclusively in Auburn colors. #WarEagle

The Airbnb we're at in Miami is so deep in the Amazon devices realm, it may surpass my own home. Fire TVs, Echos, eeros, Ring/Blink cameras, even the Alexa-enabled microwave.
