Been a while! That being said, I rewarded myself for a batch of good work at the Day Job. Fantastic new Apple AirPods Max 2. Great noise cancellation to concentrate in the office during those coding sessions.

Decided to get my COVID booster and seasonal flu shot earlier this evening. If I feel like crud tomorrow, I'll know the reason.

Thanks. A lot of SmallRig equipment but well worth it to produce some video content.

Got my video rig ready for #CFD24. Looking forward to making video content instead of written content for the event.

The ol' 163 games played in a 162-game season anomaly. Got to love baseball stats!

I have the Slate one (1800), with WiFi 6E. I've been impressed by their devices.

While I don’t have the exact model, I love having my travel router with me when in hotels. Helps with using some devices like my road Roku and having it connect to my favorite VPN is a plus.

Agreed. It’s rough out there.

First time in many moons that I'm going to need to use a Windows device for 100% of work for a customer. I'm not counting my occasional W365 VDI device either.

I so want to splurge on a new telescope and start planning trips to rural areas for deep sky viewing. Too bad my wallet won't let me. :(

One of the pics I was able to snap of it. Had a good bark to it and was very tender outside of some of the edges of the flat. Overall, a success!

It’s now out and resting. Pics when we serve it tomorrow. However, before wrapping it, it had some nice bark on it. 🍖

Brisket in the smoker (has been since 8am) and just now hitting that infamous stall point. Considering a wrap in butcher paper to help it move along.

Probably not. It's such a shame to see SWA turn into everyone else. They've lost me as a customer because of it.

Been testing some new A/V gear for when I head to Dublin at the end of August. Things are working pretty well with the iPhone 16 Pro Max I just picked up. Some power issues crop up with the USB-C hub once in a while, but things are running much smoother now.

Upgraded the phone to an iPhone 16 Pro Max. Looking forward to testing out some video content creation with it.

There's something depressing about watching the @royals.com offense these days. A big time bummer. Much disappoint.
