Nostalgia as a service?
I absolutely did it to myself, playing with photo memory movie creation on my phone, but Apple Intelligence is more than happy to make me cry on the regular.
That said, it’s pretty impressive.

Even after the sedative started to take hold, Oona reached for me. I miss her so much.

Having held my mom’s hand last year as she took her last breath, I imagined I’d be more prepared to hold Oona in my arms as she took hers. We brought her home less than a month before we got married in 2013.

Two kinds of Coke in glass bottles in the grocery store today. 8 oz or 12 oz. The little ones come in a 6 pack and the big ones come in a 4 pack. 48 oz in each.
Want HFCS in yours? That’ll cost you more, for some reason. Not quite a taco truck on every corner, but I’ll take it.

Nothing else about working from the office today was worthwhile, but this lunch was. ZZQ isn’t cheap, but it’s cheaper at the office.

Poor Oona. Not only did this city cat have to take a drive out to the country today to see a specialist vet, but it looks like she's either got inflammatory bowel disease or small cell lymphoma. The two have similar symptoms. #catsky 🐈⬛

I’m feeling extremely fortunate to have seen his 150th performance at Madison Square Garden (the final one of his monthly residency shows) last July.

Still don’t understand this design choice in Apple’s Calendar iOS app. “Starts” is two characters longer than “Ends” but does the former really require that much padding? And don’t get me started (ha) on the two different date formats.

As Mother’s Day approaches and the promos go up all over the campus where I work, I’m grateful for this message from Open Table offering to let me opt out of their Mother’s Day marketing. MD 2024 was when my mom went into the hospital for the last time, and she died six days later.

Today I learned there’s a place in my old college town where you can just go hang out with cats, and for a minute or two I regretted moving back to Virginia in 1999.
