I just had the best focaccia of my life at Orwasher’s. I could tell it was different from every other focaccia I’ve ever had in my life the moment that I picked it up. The first bite immediately ruined all other foccacias for me. Highly recommended.

We just used our emergency fund for the first time. We funded it years ago and never touched it, just put it in high-yield savings.

The emergency payment cost less than the interest we’ve made on the money we initially put in. On a bad day, at least that part feels good!

Please Ternus ship around

John Ternus has been rumored to be Tim Cook’s replacement at Apple for awhile now. Tim Cook can’t leave Apple fast enough in my opinion.

As for Ternus, I didn’t really have an opinion about the guy until tonight. I was watching the 50th anniversary Apple Event from the Computer History Museum just now and I noticed him sitting there in the front row next to Hair Force One. That’s a good sign, I think.

It turns out that the best way to get Google to approve something is to get a company that pays Google a lot of money to contact them on your behalf. It was like my application went into a black hole for 2 weeks until they got involved… then Google approved everything in a day. Nice.

Mercury has been great for 5 years, but the last year has been one of the dumbest I have ever experienced from a bank. Strike two.

An Irish customer did a podcast episode and mentioned Stunning as one of the tools he uses. It’s pretty fun to hear an Irish guy repeatedly say Stunning in his accent 😊

I do not recommend trying to rip into a foil pack of Sudafed with your mouth, especially while you’re in a hurry to leave the house for a dental appointment (where you have to open your mouth wide basically the entire time). You just might slash your lip from top to bottom on the foil and start bleeding everywhere. Thank goodness for styptic pencils.

Working out regularly in your 40s is great because you never quite know if you’re hurting because you’re falling apart or because you’re building muscle

Turns out, my Express Replacement iPhone that was overnighted to me via FedEx but still arrived 2 days late was late because… some FedEx employee stole it! I received a suspiciously light box today. Totally empty.

Cool cool cool cool

FedEx is the WORST

The underlying system in iOS really needs to be fixed. I constantly feel like I’m bothering my phone when I ask it to do something. Restarting it barely helps. What’s the point of a camera control button if you press it and it takes three seconds for the camera to open?

“Tesla shared today that the first Cybercab production unit has rolled off the assembly line at Gigafactory Texas. The vehicle has no steering wheel and no pedals. It is entirely dependent on autonomous driving software that, based on every available data point, Tesla has not solved — and is nowhere close to solving.”

I would pay SO much money to be able to opt out of having FedEx “deliver” anything to me for the rest of my life

Someone just cancelled their subscription and wrote: “low support”. They literally never wrote in for support, and the last email we sent them 4 months ago (that they never replied to) was from me, offering help if they needed it 🤦‍♂️

I just love when I get into a ride share car and there’s a slight delay before they change the music selection to hip hop or rap

Synology + Apple TV + Tailscale + unplugging just enough from the hotel TV to disable their control box, unplugging the TV power for a bit then plugging it back in = private Netflix

There’s not much left before the Receiver (https://receiverhq.com) launch!

Tesla discontinues the S and X?

Thu, 29 Jan 2026 04:51:05 -0500

The more I think about it, the less convinced I am that Tesla is canceling the Model S and Model X forever. I wouldn’t put it completely past the CEO, he’s a complete moron… but this may be just the nonsense that they pull from time to time at the end of quarters where they do some nonsense to goose sales, supercharged.

If you’re going to stop making the Model S and Model X for a while while you do a complete redesign (and use the factory for something else in the meantime) the best way to get as many sales as possible of these cars (that don’t sell in high numbers) in the shortest amount of time before you tear down the assembly lines is to say that they are being discontinued forever. You were already going to tear the lines down for the big redesigns anyway, but this way you get extra benefit. You can’t tell everyone that they’re being redesigned. That would kill the already low sales, Osborne style.

Then, everyone who really wants one will buy their “last” one. And they’ll grumble but they’ll also have five years of warranty and eight years of parts being available, which gives Tesla time to then dramatically decide to start making them again.

They could’ve just turned the lines off with no announcement, but they didn’t.

Who knows, I could be completely wrong about this!

If your Apple Watch stops responding to Siri all of a sudden, especially for on device things like setting timers… before you go through the trouble of rebooting your Watch and your iPhone, make sure that the microphone port on the Apple Watch is clean.

My favorite part of Letterkenny is the Canadian insults that I’ve never heard before, but are instantly understandable, like: “you’re spare parts, aren’t you bud?”

They say, “don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing” but sometimes you end up using your right hand to close the drawer on your left hand while it’s trying to put a dish away so maybe that’s not the best advice

Switched to the Bear app recently for notes, and I’m switching away immediately because it doesn’t have history, somehow I overwrote part of an important note and I can’t get it back.

My fault, I thought that history was a table-stakes feature. This is your warning.

Real-time payments are pretty crazy. No 3-day waiting period to receive funds? Every time I make one, it makes me think of DBZ.

Instant Transmission!

I very carefully opened Software Update on my main MacBook Pro because I was restarting the computer anyway, which I do very rarely… so I figured I might as well update to the latest version of Sequoia.

Carefully went to the bottom of the screen, past the big Tahoe upgrade area, where it showed that I would be updating to the latest version of Sequoia.

I clicked through the EULAs and when I got back, somehow freaking Tahoe was on my Mac.

UGH

I’m beginning to believe that angels do exist, but they’re in human form.

Anyone can float down into someone else’s life for a period of time and improve it immeasurably.

Anyone can ask the right questions at the right time to help someone look differently at their life, to transport their thinking years into the future… to help them to safely do things outside of their comfort zone.

I definitely have an angel like that in my life right now and I will miss her so much when she is gone.

Almost from the day we met, she informed me that there was a time limit on our time together, which was bad news up front. But it was a gift, because it’s given me the ability to appreciate every moment and to never take any of it for granted.

Of course, that’s how we should live every day, in every relationship. Everything ends, but we don’t act that way most of the time.

And you can be an angel to someone else.
