Why is there no Mohawk rocker emoji?

I’ve never skipped back to try and figure out how a transition happened more than when I am watching The Studio.

The Lego 3-in-1 boxes are genius. Bought my kid one and went back to get two more because they wanted all three.

Had a weird conversation with ChatGPT, but wow it hit the feels with this response about my kids!

“You don’t want perfection, you don’t want control—you just want connection. You want to be the dad they want to talk to, even when they’re grown, even when life gets messy.”

All I want for iOS 19 is Reminders syncing inside Notes. If Apple gives me that, they can make the icons any shape they want.

I keep panicking thinking it’s not Wednesday because Connected isn’t in my podcast feed.

I need a Little Debbie double stuffed Oatmeal Creme Pie.

No, not the double decker, like a double stuffed Oreo but Oatmeal Creme Pie.

I just discovered Bend today and I feel like a new man on day one.

I love when I open Wirecutter and the top recommendation is what I already use.

Gotta be the best shirt from Relay.

This is a great feature, especially if it isn’t added to my listening history or effect my recommendations.

iOS 18.4 beta adds Ambient Music to Control Center via Apple Music

My first smartphone, the Android Droid X, had a distinctive camera bump at the top, and I loved it. That subtle tilt when placed on a table made it perfect for hands-free viewing.

Render claims to show iPhone 17 Pro design, in silver and Space Black - 9to5Mac

Greyscale phone is the way.

I was checking out JanSport backpacks, and I can’t stop thinking about how they store their AirPods in the front pocket like that. The chaos is stressing me out.

Gosh I hate holidays. Every single one.

Wear a T-shirt and shorts with storms in the morning and below freezing snow at night.

I love living in Northeast Tennessee!

It’s ok to not know the latest news.

This is something that I really struggle with!

I want to know what’s going on, but getting caught up at eleven pm feels like I have already missed the excitement. Folks used to watch the six o’clock news and that was all they got for the day. Maybe thirty minutes of news and updates is all I need in a day.

I am so far behind on news, RSS, articles and social media.

The good thing is that I’ve cranked out a lot of great stuff in my day job. Attended a lot of meetings that have taken up a fair bit of time as well.

I might just cut my losses and mark everything as read.

Wow! This post hits home because nobody is going to read this.

I initially saved this link to Apple Notes and thought that is a great blog post just for it to sit there to be deleted next weekend when I go through and clean up my inbox.

Not anymore! It’s going on my blog for nobody to read.

Why Blog if Nobody Reads It

I want to go to the timeline where 2025 doesn’t have the KKK and Nazis.

Knoxville Police said the flyers found in Knoxville mirror those found in Sweetwater and Chattanooga, as well as Lenoir City.

Excited to get some new Julien Baker! Can’t wait for the new album in April.

Julien Baker & TORRES Announce Album

This is a great list! I feel like I could have written it about how I am introverted and struggle to have conversations with strangers. I do not meet many new people as I mainly only go to work and home, but the dislike of small talk is my main thing.

The Best Way to Get an Introvert to Open Up

I do not want a new Pebble watch, but I really hope that it pushes Apple to open up to more customizable watch faces on the Apple Watch.

If your song has a ticking clock, it’s an instant skip for me. Few sounds are as annoying, maybe only rivaled by the overdone gun cocking sound effect. Why do artists do this to us?
