Such a great mix of synth pop and creepiness that stops just short of detracting from the over all amazing creativity at play here. It’s brilliant really. Crank it and dance, but also give it a spin over a decent pair of headphones. There’s a lot to be found on this album and its production. Despite its polish it doesn’t feel pretentious at all. It feels (and sounds) like you are sitting in on someone having a lot of fun which, I’m guessing a lot of us could use these days. Myself included. If this sounds like your bag, have it!

Loving them so far! Just as I loved the first gen AirPods.

The new “Hey Siri” integration is a way more subtle improvement than I was expecting. We have a HomePod in our home and have come to rely upon it throughout our day. Being able to use the same vocal interface as I walk around town is such a no-brainer enhancement to my life that I didn’t even know what a luxury it was until it was here.

Which, for me anyways, is why I gravitated toward the Apple ecosystem years ago. It’s those “Ah HA!” moments that always resonate.

In short, the second Gen AirPods have essentially delivered the current experience I have in my home (with my HomePod), to the world around me everywhere I go (at least where ever there is an internet connection). As cliche as it’s become to say in the last few years, I can honestly say that this subtle shift is kind of magical.

Our home wireless speed increased by what appears to be 100%!! We upgraded from most recent Airport Extreme (tall white tower version) and, I don’t know if the AE was faulty or what but, the eero connection obliterates anything we had before including wired connections - just crazy!

We went with the one beacon package which, admittedly, is over kill for our 1000 square foot home BUT… getting 100mb down from our backyard is banana pants!

One of the things that freaks me out about our new-ish home is the fact that it needs a sump pump in the crawl space underneath for when it pours and the water table gets too high. I’m glad it’s there of course, but I’m also really paranoid when I don’t hear it switch on during a HUGE downpour that rips through the Triangle. So far it always turns on faithfully when needed. But the minute our electricity goes out. We’re screwed.

I know, I know, get a generator - but we are often out of town so, we are super reliant on the grid which, thankfully, has been pretty solid over the years. 😅

I witness, in my day to day, a lot of people who dismiss podcasts as a nonsensical medium that, more than ever, is filled with amateurish drivel, not worthy of consuming.

I swear…. in the last year alone, I’ve discovered more incredible, lovely, awe-inspiring humans via podcasts than I ever would have via television, movies, commercial radio, etc….

I am so damn grateful for it!

When I stepped out the door it was in the low 70’s. When I got back to the house 2 hours later, it was in the high 50’s. CRAAAAAAAZY temperature swings here in the Piedmont region of NC.

It’s really odd having it be so warm in early February, so while I was caught off guard wearing a T-shirt during my walk, at least it’s getting back down to more seasonable weather this evening.

I never do this but, I’ve been checking daily to see if/when #spiderverse went on pre-sale (iTunes).

Finally noticed it today. So many things are proclaimed no-brainers. This is a literal one. Didn’t even think. Just clicked the “buy” button. It’s that good.

Snag it y’all

Update (01/11/2019): Looks like the link is working again!

I decided to go with a “dark-mode” motif (yeah, I know, it’s trendy) and prefer it a lot more to the eye-shredding brightness of the orignal theme.

There’s always more, but I think it’s getting there.

Does anyone know off hand if it’s possible to auto format posts that come in from OwnYourGram.com? I often find myself editing each of them afterwards, moving the first sentence into the heading of the m.b post. Is there a way, for instance, to add markdown to the first sentence of each Instagram post that gets added to my micro.blog site?
