Today, Apple did what they do in September. They announced new iPhones and some other stuff. Here are some of my quick thoughts after watching the event, mostly on mute with closed captionings, while at work. I’ll breeze through this, mostly in order.
Alan Taylor at The Atlantic put together a bunch of photos from the opening days of Disneyland back in 1955.

It’s that time of year again! We’re a few days out from WWDC 2019, and everyone is talking about what they want to see in the next update to Apple’s line of operating systems. I do most of my work on iOS these days, so that’s where most of my needs come from.
Twitter and Facebook refusing to take down a falsified video is just spreading of blatant propaganda for ad dollars.
Blanche likes to “help” Gary play in the water table. These two are adorable together.

First impressions of the 2019 version of the AirPods wireless earbuds.
John Gruber has a few thoughts on Apple’s rumored gaming subscription service that may or may not be announced alter this morning. I mostly agree with him, but I have one quibble.
Wildwood Canyon hike!

Fryman Canyon Hike. Sunglasses required. 😎
We’re off to get our library card (and test the new Gary carrier backpack)
I call it the Garrier. 😎

Happy Villaintines Day!

Training Day.
Get it? Because trains. 😎🚂
Forgot my AirPods today and have to wear my work-issued headphones or listen to the cacophony of an open plan office.
I’m reminded that I hate both ear sweat and wires. 🎧 👂💦
