Seen at Love Field on 04 July 2014. Guess there was a reason Southwest didn’t paint this on more planes.

Hi, friend!

Went digging through old media folders this morning. Was fortunate to catch a ride on this shiny bird at the DC-3 Fly In at Flabob Airport on 20 May 2017.

hello world

Taken at noon earlier today near Myrtle Creek, OR. Couldn’t see the sun. #smoke #wildfires

Let's see... Where should I deliver this box? Ah, yes. This water puddle will do nicely. #amazonfail

Where's dinner? ... I'll wait.

Need a new AC adapter for your Philips Hue Go light? An inexpensive generic adapter won't work due to the nonstandard connector. You'll have to cough up $80 for a brand new unit (light and adapter) because Philips doesn't sell the adapter separately. Hooray! Thanks, @tweethue.

Swollen battery in my @apple MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013) failed after less than three years. Battery replaced. Fast forward another three years and it is now swelling inside the case like the first one. A battery in a laptop should last longer.
