  • iOS 26 and macOS 26

    I’ve successfully installed these, and honestly… I was kinda nervous about it at first with all the angst and anger about “Liquid Glass”… quick thoughts…

    1. I don’t hate it. It makes everything seem lighter. So far, I have not made any real tweaks on iPhone. I did turn on the background for the menu bar in macOS. My old eyes don’t see it well without the contrast.
    2. I like the rounded corners in macOS, they feel comfy. 🙂
    3. Generally the same observations on iPadOS 26 apply. However, I’m still getting used to the idea of windows on a 10″-ish screen.

  • Infrastructure Nerd

    I just set the timer for the first part of dinner in the oven and said, out loud, to only myself… “I think I’ll watch some nerdy infrastructure videos on YouTube.”

  • Never Change, Air Travelers

    Heading to a work conference today and am at the airport way early. Just walking from security to the gate I have already encountered two old guys having loud business calls on speaker and an older woman who has dropped her Yeti 3 times, narrowly missing my left foot twice. There is also a guy laying on the floor at the gate.

    Beautiful day for flying at BWI.

    That said, express baggage check, and priority security lines are things I enjoy. And AirPods Pro can save me from the rest.

  • Wow. It’s a lot.

    There’s a lot happening. And it’s happening fast.

    Tumultuous days, with many more to come.

    We only have each other.

  • Pride

    Carroll Creek Park in Frederick, MD, facing toward South Market Street. The park is decorated for Pride, whcih is about to officially open. In the foreground there are vendor tents, a few people walking along either side of the canal. The park is decorated with rainbow balloon arches over the canal. This photograph is from Frederick Pride 2019.

    A beautiful morning in Downtown Frederick at Carroll Creek Park as Pride is about to officially open in 2019.

  • Pride

    QPOC flag postcards on a white background, sent to me from a mutual! There's a slight red tinted light coming from the right side out of frame.

    I received these cards a few weeks ago from a long-time mutual.

  • Pride

    This year, may we all learn to better embrace our differences, be more accepting of all LGBTQ+ people, regardless of appearance, ability, or experience. We are all on the same journey together and now more than ever, we need to grow and strengthen our entire community.
