New Year’s Eve plans in emoji form:

🛷☕️ 🐠 📹 🛍️ 🍕🎉🙏🏻 🍿🙀 ⏰💃🏽🕺

Station Eleven - the miniseries on HBO only came out a year ago. Somehow it feels way longer. Might be worth a rewatch as we confront the end of things we know and look towards the uncertain future.

If you’re having issues adding a HomePod mini to your Home app, or inviting someone new, make sure everyone in your Home is updated to iOS 16.2 / macOS Ventura first. A third iPhone user on our account that wasn’t involved or needed seemed to be the issue. 🤷‍♂️

I’ve reached peak “I need to get a snowblower” and it’s only December. 😪

Happy Old Fashioned to all who celebrate.

Merry Christmas. 📱

Getting charged $29 because a credit card we attempted to use a credit card that we have maxed out feels like punching your customers in the face.

A computer takes 0.003 seconds to figure it out, and we get dinged $29? Woof.

✏️ New Blog Post: Weather Strip for iOS. Trying out a new weather app as my default to see if it helps us survive winter.

Who has a brand new iPhone 7+ in 2022? Are they still for sale?? No I don’t want to trade the thing I’m selling. I want to sell it. To get $. To pay for Xmas. 😭

Marketplace convo asking “would you trade it for a new iPhone 7 256GB?”

It’s -28C, feels like -40C. This happens every winter around here, but it’s still a bit nuts.

I love selling things on Facebook marketplace. 🤦‍♂️

A conversation between me and a potential buyer where the buyer asks if it’s still available, then asks if “I’d take $160”, then quickly says “sorry I meant $150”, and then repeats again saying “would you take $150”.

I’ve got 5 more Arc browser invites if you want to check it out. I dig it as a nice Chromium alternative.

There’s always a beautiful day a week out in winter. I’ll believe that +1 when I see it.

Saskatoon weather in the -18 to -24C range until week from now it says +1.

I love when I achieve my Watch’s move goal while doing something completely unhealthy. Tonight it was while reaching for another handful of chips to throw into my mouth.

Blogging about computer buying decision paralysis. Still don’t know what to do, but at least I wrote a blog post? #Apple
