Notes

Something I’m struggling with… After being the problem solver and fixer of things for my family, I now have to take a back seat while others handle what I once did in order to protect my health. It’s incredible how much of a man’s self-worth and esteem is tied up in what he’s able to do…and not do.

I was once rabid for Apple Keynotes of any kind. Not anymore. Eventually, features will be what they will be, love them or hate them. Workflows will adjust one way or another, and we’ll move on. Apple no longer innovates enough to excite me. I do still prefer the platform over alternatives though.

Given the recent turn of events, I’ve decided to accelerate killing off the single-user Mastodon instance I’ve been running apart from Micro.blog and federate from here. I feel good about it. It’s one less thing to worry about right now.

Really bad news from my cardiologist today. Five significant cardiac stenoses, which means open heart quintuple quadruple bypass surgery very soon. I’m in shock and it hasn’t sunk in yet. This is warning that it’s going to play out through my blog, so forgive me in advance and unfollow if you’d prefer to.
