I’m a bit surprised that Apple hasn’t done more with eye-tracking tech. Well, yes, they have Vision Pro, but they haven’t pushed it down to the other devices. Obviously, accessibility would benefit, but I see other uses. #apple

Look around you. See the people? Are they strangers or friends? Be grateful and thank them anyway. You are lucky to be there. If there is no one, be thankful for the silence. #life #success

What phrases, current or past, annoy you? For me, they are: “That’s what I’m talkin’ about.” “It is what it is.” “Proactive”.

I want Apple to produce a writeable version of the Boox Palma eInk reader. They would do a bang-up job of it. But, seeing the Palma is an eReader only, and given the price, I’m out. shop.boox.com/products/… #eink #apple #boox

Today’s work implements #fountainpen

Leave room to learn. Leave space to grow. Leave heart to love. Leave time to live.

I’m still hoping the Apple Journal app, whenever it is released, will be better than most. #apple #ios #journal

Well, it’s a do-nothing weekend due to the rainage. Oh well.

Good morning. The dismal weather hasn’t abated. It seems we are in a perpetual state of rainness here in Delaware. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

It just hit me that the word coroner has the same origin as corona and crown, among other words. A coroner has the (regal) power to do medical investigations. #writing #etymology

If you don’t enjoy what you do, why are you doing it?

So, are you a sidekick? Or a hero? Or are you a villain to everyone else?

Plan for tomorrow: — edit — stay out of the rain — play some games — read

The good news is the transfer/update process is a LOT faster, you don’t get the ring progressing around the watch. #apple #watch

Setting up the new Apple Watch was more problematic for some reason. It didn’t want to recognize the pattern. #apple #watch

Tomorrow, the weekend starts. I hope it doesn’t pretend to sing.

What did you learn today? Me? Sometimes you have to shine someone elese’s shoes to see your own.

I’ll be going to Philcon again this year. The only reason being I’ll get a chance to chat with Jonathon Maberry again and maybe touch base with a couple of writers I know. Sadly, Philcon isn’t as good as it used to be when I was much younger. #philcon
