Thanks, @maxandersen.xam.dk! I had never heard this before, but it was a good listen with good lessons.

I had a framed version of that painting in my office at IBM. It was for more than just preparing presentations... 😛

Exactly! MyQ would be better off working out a deal with Ring and let me connect the garage door openers into my Ring system.

My high deductible insurance plan for 2026 (same coverage as last year) will be going up $200 every month (approx 15% increase).

@governorwalz.mn.gov What say you? Can you join this West Coast health alliance for MN?

Great seeing you at #CommunityOverCode!

UN use of Open Source

Omar Mohsine has the keynote this morning at #CommunityOverCode discussing the use of Open Source at the UN. Very interesting!

Very good talk, @scott.hanselman.com! The data point about how much compute power was on your left arm compared to 1980 was unbelievable. I've been following you ever since I was "introduced" to you via our mutual friend, @daliashea.bsky.social. Thank you for this TED talk.

Hey, @trishagee.bsky.social, have you tried any of Kelly Rimmer's books? WW II based fiction with strong women characters. Very good books. I just finished The German Wife -- almost too real in today's political climate.

Thanks, @hollycummins.com! I needed this reminder. ❤️

2025? 😉

I know all of them ... 😉

Sorry, just posted my used before I saw this reply. Thanks.

My personal use is mainly financial stuff -- investments, banking, quicken, spreadsheets, etc. The volunteer activity is mainly website development and management with Google Workspace tools. And, of course, the normal email, YouTube, and TV activities. 😉

M4, M4 Pro, or M4 Max?
After 10 years, my MacBook Pro is reaching its end of life... I plan to get another MacBook Pro, but now I see there are 3 chips to choose from. Although I am no longer developing code, I use my MacBook daily for both personal and volunteer activities. Any suggestions?
