Giving In
Letting people help us in our time of need helps make them feel good about themselves. Even allowing someone to perform a small task for us can make a big difference when they feel helpless.

Hmm… iPadOS 26 with a Magic Keyboard and Magic Mouse makes for a decent portable setup. This post published with that setup and it does not suck.
📷 Day 13: Pathway.
I am down to just three flagged action item emails in my inbox at the day job. I should be able to knock them all out this afternoon. I’ve also lined up transition meetings with the relevant teams for today. This should make the next two weeks a light load.

The date is set for surgery… June 30th. This gives me just enough time to complete the Micro.blog June photo challenge.

I’m living dangerously today and giving iPadOS 26 developer beta a try on my iPad since I barely use it. 🤞🏻
I’m waiting to tell my team members what’s about to happen until I have firm dates from the surgeon tomorrow. I’m sure they’re totally baffled by the fact I’m suddenly turning everything over to them the last few days. I should have been doing this a year or more ago… 🤣
📷 Day 10: Rail.
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.

A Widow Maker
I’m about to embark on one of the gnarliest life-changing journeys that could happen to anyone. This sets the stage for how it started…
Yet Another mnml Update
The latest mnml theme update v2.5.7 introduces three new features: a RSS link toggle in the footer, read time display for titled posts, and dynamic copyright year range that adjusts based on blog post publication years.
📷 Day 07: Switch.
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.
📷 Day 06: Contrast.
