Trying to figure out how to optimally layout the Infograph watch face is giving me anxiety.

I read an article about the original Command & Conquer games being remastered the other day, and ever since I’ve just wanted to play some old school Red Alert.

It’s 1PM, and I’m still in my pajamas. Very productive times around these parts.

People who send glittery Christmas cards in the mail should be arrested.

“Welcome back to Instagram, we see that you clicked through on a watch ad last time. Here are a dozen other watch ads in your timeline.”

“(Your) gift deliveries” 😉

Oldest: “Dad, I don’t think Santa is a different person, I think you’re Santa”

Me: “I think you’re a very smart kid, but if you tell your brothers … I will end you.” #dadops #santaops

Watching Star Trek Generations for a Christmas movie. Anyone want to argue this with me?

I’m not sure why my oldest feels that waking me up via rage inducing behavior is the best thing for him on Christmas Eve.

Sometimes, I try to eat something different, and it’s great.

Sometimes, not so much.

What does the coming disruption in infrastructure mean for system integrators still focused on putting hardware in racks? overcast.fm/+J0JzD2ZBk/39:…

I’m not sure what’s more upsetting to me: that Brent Spiner is annoyed with me on Twitter, or that the notification quality filter makes it so I don’t get alerts from his replies?

Now I’m wondering how many other famous people have I been inadvertently ignoring?

Revisting ​​Essential

Back in July 2017, I wrote about my 10 essential iOS applications. I thought now that we’re reaching the end of 2018, it might be a good time to revisit that list. As I mentioned at the time: I find it helpful to mix things up from time to time, even going as far as doing a reset of my app icon layouts periodically to reshuffle the deck chairs and throw out any old cruft hiding in corners.

I just started transferring my domains to Cloudflare. #CloudflareWave5

Headed to the Apple Store to pickup an LTE Series 4 Watch. Not for me. Not for my wife.

For my kids great-grandmother. #falldetection

I can’t wait for the baby to start eating real foods so he can complain about how terrible everything we make is, just like his big brothers. 🙄 #dadops

The great thing about a task manager is that it centralizes the list of all the things I didn’t get done.

If PowerBI could manage to stay open long enough for my report to load, that’d be great.
