There is a disconnect. Parents are thrilled to have kids go back to school. Unless it is the first time the kids leave home. Kids, typically, hate going back to school. Unless they are too young to have been bullied, or are bullies. #life

Also, rumors of a new band engagement mechanism and a thinner watch were wrong this time around. It seems like most of the rumor mongers were pretty much wrong on everything. #applewatch

Hm. I’m willing to bet the watch double tap gesture is going to have some issues in cold weather if it’s based on changes in blood flow as they said. Unless, of course, the sensor is that sensitive and they have a a dynamic baseline. #applewatch

Lates versions of iOS/MacOS will be out in a couple o’ weeks. #iphone #mac

The rumor of better health sensors by a bunch of pundits was a miss. #apple #watch

Every cloud has a dirty bottom.

I guess I can eat now.

Hm. More iCloud tiers. #apple

That’s cool. Spatial video for Apple Vision Pro on iPhone Pro. Now if only they made the Apple Vision Pro affordable to us mere mortals. #apple #visionpro

Heh. Apple is pushing games. Most of the iPhone games are bleh. Now if they included Switch/PS5 emulation, or even GBA they’d have something. #apple #iphone #gamedev

OK. The Pro models have a new Action button that doubles as the mute switch. #iphone #apple.

Note: all the iPhones still have the same buttons and layouts. So the rumors were wrong for this release. #apple #iphone

Never mind… iPhone Pro #apple #iphone

Hm. No iPhone Pro? #apple #iphone

Finally USBC on iPhone. #apple

Nature / environment report / sketch is great in multiple ways. #apple

Ok. Gestures on Apple Watch. Something from/to Apple Vision Pro tech. Very cool. I’m sure more Apple Watch spatial gestures will be coming. #apple #watch

Time for Apple. #apple

Good morning. Embrace the day. Embrace someone. Embrace you. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Plan for tomorrow: — iOS — rewrite/edit — watch Apple event — find some time to eat.

Anyone remember Byte magazine, or MacWorld?

I think I’ve pretty much caught up after C3. However, I didn’t get as much rewriting done as I had wanted. Will work around the Apple presentation tomorrow. #writing #editing

My experimental juniper nut brown ale is in the bottles. Out of 2ndary fermentation, it tastes surprisingly great. Not resiny, at all. A bit of spice from the juniper and a creamy mouth feel. #beer #brewing
