The Aurora Borealis are back! I needed my iPhone’s camera to see this amazing visual spectacle, and it was worth standing outside in 45F temperatures in my shorts and sandals to get the pic. #nature #auroraborealis #longmont

How is Affinity now free?
Hear it directly from Canva's co-founder and Chief Product Officer, Cameron Adams. Affinity is 100% free. πŸ’š No catch, just powerful design tools made for people who are done with paying too much for creativity. And no, your content in Affinity is not used to train AI features. Your work stays your How is Affinity now free?

Canva’s video explaining why Affinity will be free forever manages to slam Adobe without ever calling out the company by name. I’m making popcorn and watching how this plays out. #design #marketing

Map showing the grand adventure of my USPS package going from Sherman, Texas, to Denver to San Francisco to Oakland and back to San Francisco then to Reno and back to Denver, then leaving Denver only to return again, and now to the Longmont, Colorado, post office. The map has a lot of pins in Denver. A lot.

Wandering package update: After arriving at the facility in Denver last night, it left for its next β€” and unspecified β€” location, then returned to Denver. This morning it made it to the Longmont post office. USPS has now informed me my Nov 1 delivery will be late. #usps #fail #adventure

Tracking a package shipped to me via USPS last Tuesday from Sherman, TX, with expected delivery November 1. It went to Aurora and Denver, CO, then San Francisco to Oakland and back to SF. Next it went to Reno, NV, and now it’s en route to β€œnext destination.” Hopefully that’s back to CO? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Very cool! I used a vintage Pilot Elite for this one. It has a converter, so that’s nice. I got into fountain pens a couple years ago and I’m loving them.

My first-gen HomePod started randomly buzzing while streaming music. Pretty sure that isn't an intended feature. This is a speaker, so I'm having a hard time accepting that a seven year life is a solid run. #apple #homepod #ouch
