I’m sorry Eufy, but what is with this app size? 965 MB for a security app?

Even my weather app knows what Trump is doing to the White House is wrong.

@arubis Yeah, that does look suitably dense. This my passive MeshSense from north of Seattle and I can only reliably talk to the northern third.

This is the very last thing in my syllabus. Do I leave the last line to see who actually read it?

This seems to be the way that scammers are evading iOS’s unknown contacts filters. I won’t be replying.

Crooked Media switching their What A Day newsletter *to* Substack, one of the internet’s most notorious Nazi bars, in the year 2025 shows that they are just as out of touch as Schumer and the rest of the establishment Dems.

Today is National Lighthouse Day. This is the Point Robinson lighthouse on Vashon Island, Washington State.

You can rent the lighthouse keeper's quarters, built in 1908, for overnight stays from the Vashon Parks District.

Printed up some cases for my little army of Heltec V3 #meshcore and #meshtastic nodes.

We went to Disney’s California Adventure, and one of my must-dos was seeing the Spiderman show, because it features one of Grant Imahara’s final projects, the ‘Stuntronics’ robot.

I know it is a parasocial relationship, but I got a little emotional after seeing […]

Sometimes I find myself looking everywhere but where the ride designers intend me to look. On Small World, I found myself looking at the janky drop ceiling and lighting.

I love it, but this ride is 100% a first-draft time capsule.

I don't want to gatekeep, so I'll just say that Chelan, WA is a gem and a perfect place to spend a weekend. This was taken a few weeks ago at Endless Orchard Cider.

(I've been better about taking photos than posting them lately, so I'm working through a backlog from the last few months.)

Got my #meshtastic node up on the roof in a temporary location for testing. It's not as high as I'd like, but the sewer vent pipe was the best non-invasive option I had available.

It appears that Apple Sports is having data issues. No live activities, no time updates.

I was flipping through the sports offerings and I found that 1) beIN Sports Extra is now on DirecTV and 2) they're showing Jai Alai. I enjoy watching new sports, I'm still reading the rules, but it's entertaining and I read about it in Dungeon Crawler Carl.

Thoughts when reading this email:

1. Is Anthropic strapped for cash and is looking for some up-front money?

2. Is Anthropic scared about what their competitors are releasing in the near future?

3. Did anyone tell their marketing department that they were releasing new models on the 24th?

I just turned on MLS on AppleTV and I see that they've hired Dax McCarty as a commentator. Nah, no thanks.

Here's just one reason.

Well, that was lovely and thought-provoking. Dan Savage and Doctorow played off each other really well. I got some new podcast recommendations and several excellent laughs. I’m glad that I was able to make it.

Change of plans. Wife got home early, I picked up a last minute ticket, and drove down.
