In other news, my Echo decided to get a software update last night at 3am and announce it to us whilst fast asleep. I know you can set up do not disturb, but there should be some common sense in that cylinder’s code.

After years of working with at least 2 monitors, just working on my laptop this morning has felt constricting. I’ve opened four spaces which has helped a lot.

I’ve been spending a lot of time lately working on a 2018 budget which has been a cool experience because I haven’t ever done a year long budget before. This process has also made me start to think about making a time budget too. I need to be more disciplined about side projects.

Going back and looking at Palm’s demise still makes me sad. I remember wanting a Pre so bad when I was on Verizon stuck with Blackberry or Android. If they had the resources, they might have been able to give Apple a true run for their money.

Watching these two react to Rush’s YYZ is so great. I don’t remember the first time I heard the song, but I bet I was equally as impressed. It really is a masterpiece.

Went into recovery mode and noticed that several weird volumes were taking up all the space on my Mac that I thought should be available. The First Aid tool said the disk looked fine but when I rebooted into macOS the disk had 40 gigs of free space and the computer was snappy.

It’s extremely frustrating the amount of misinformation going around about the iPhone battery problem. I don’t think Apple handled the situation correctly and should have let users know that a degrading battery causes slower performance.

So many questions. What is wheel? Why is it System and not me? How is there 156 MB available but only 207 GBs on the disk? Why didn’t I have permissions to save a screenshot?
