I ordered a Mac Studio as soon as they were announced, and was very excited to get my shipping notification. Sadly, for me, my computer has just moved across China... and then stopped. Hopefully it'll be here soon! I'm ready... Continue reading

The real problem is that at some point Wawa reduced the size of their XL cups from 44 ounces to something about 36 ounces. Yes, I’m still annoyed by it. Continue reading

Runkeeper, for whatever reason, asks me to take a selfie at the end of my runs. Which I do, because I do what my phone tells me. This leads to collages like the one above, and very amusing entries in... Continue reading

We’re spending the week “down the Shore” as they say in Philadelphia, and I’m happy to report that based on people’s behaviors the pandemic is over! Hurrah! Good job, everyone. Now, I haven’t been in many shops because, as you... Continue reading
