Sharing some info about Apple Watch Ultra 3’s battery life: it dropped by 50% over 34 hours (from Wed 5:36 pm to Fri 3:36 am), by 40% in 24 hours with AOD on (from Tue 4:03 am to Wed 4:27 am) and by 30% in 24 hours with AOD off (from Wed 5:36 pm to Thu 5:55 pm). It’s quite the powerhouse!

René made deluxe gingerbread cookies for us today. It’s not that hard to figure out which one is me, but I guess she just ran out of black icing to give me a beard. :-) Thanks for giving me a whiff of Christmas weeks early before you head off to Asia for the holidays. Bon voyage!

Apple Music Replay ‘25 is out. Men I Trust remains my favourite artist/band this year. I’m the Problem kind of took me by surprise because I’ve hardly been pegged as a country music fan since I was born. This album is just right. 53,794 minutes is approximately 900 hours, which appears to be a lot.

Liar @UPS is trying to delay delivery for “bad weather,” which is apparently not true. If we can go out and get groceries easily for ourselves then it’s not bad weather for you. It was “out for delivery” for a whole day until it suddenly regressed to “on the way.”

I opened Apple Music and typed into the search bar “McDonalds” instead of “Madonna.” That’s when you know you’re really hungry.

From the moment we are born, our names become the sounds that connect us to the world. They shape first impressions, carry family history, and potentially reflect cultural ties. They are hardly just words.

As my iPhone was being serviced at the Genius Bar, I got to spend some quality time with my iPod classic again. There’s a thrill in spinning 2025 tracks on a gadget from 2007. At this point, it’s actually old enough to vote.

I was trying to use Apple Music Sing on my Apple TV, only to find my model doesn’t actually support it. It requires a third-generation Apple TV 4K, while mine is second generation. 🤷🏻♂️
