Screenshot of a map from Apple CarPlay near the foot of the Ben Franklin bridge in Philadelphia.

My favorite thing about Apple Maps is the crazy detail around road markings. I have gripes about things, but this is awesome.

Gotta help my kid represent at the school Eagles rally tomorrow. Easy 3D print.

Ran the parent gauntlet tonight: did the fifth grade spelling bee / five minute dinner / mad rush to the holiday concert.

In my ✨ microplastics ✨ era.

Low-key conspiracy theory: NFL cameramen are told not to focus on players that wear guardian caps.

A salad from a local eatery sits in a take-out bowl on a black kitchen counter.

Did we order the Saquon Broccoli? Indeed. Will report back later.

Polestar 3 Ownership update: 2 days with car, 6 days in shop. Not off to a great start.

And I mean... corn. I'd love backstory on how much the corn stuff blew up back in the day.

If anyone is doing a 'CISOs who never post about work' starter pack, I'm your guy.

A view of several Philadelphia skyscrapers with a sunset sky behind them. The photo is taken from the 50th floor and is taller than many buildings in the distance.

Philly sunset from the 50th floor.

A giant billboard in Philadelphia proclaims: "STDs are Timeless" and features an older couple kissing in front of a sunset.

I saw the subway version of this ad blew up on here last week, but the mega billboard version is just extra.

A custom steel road bike frame painted in a purple to hot pink fade sits on carbon wheels and has gray handlebar tape. It stands on rock climbing mats in green, blue, and red and leans against an indoor rock climbing wall.

It's been great. I have two sets of wheels for it, depending on what I'm going.

I got the older Waterford-made pink and purple Earth Ship. Now they are making them in-house.

Standert was one of the final choices for me before I got my Wilde.

This is on a giant billboard in Philly.

Entrance to a slot canyon in Arizona. The sandstone is reddish orange and the layers are slanted toward the ground moving away from the camera. A narrow path weaves between two curving walls. The sky is bright blue and cloudless

Post a picture you took (no description) to bring some zen to the timeline.

Least controversial take on Bluesky tonight.

Cyan blue water of a Great Lake meets the steep dunes and grasslands under a light blue sky. The dunes curve off into the distance.

A small light sits in the of a stone jetty. The water is green blue and clear; you can see the bottom probably 15 feet down.

Went to Michigan this summer and had a great time. The biggest takeaway was that Michigan needs better tourism advertising.

Philadelphia skyscrapers including the Comcast Center and One Liberty Place. Photo taken from above. Cars and people line the streets under a blue-gray sky. In the reflection of the mirrored Comcast Center you can see the Fred DiBona Jr. tower.

Good morning Philly.

My low-key conspiracy theory is that digital scales tend to show you the prior weight rather than showing you up or down a tenth of a pound. Just feels like there's too much biology happening to not fluctuate a tenth up and down for days.

I'm no style icon, but these Texans all red uniforms are bad. Love the helmets, but the rest? Yikes.

Four musicians performing on stage. The lighting is purple and blue and the lead singer is playing a red guitar.

The Midnight @ Union Transfer.

My tween son will play this while on a call with friends and also watching YouTube on a second screen. These kids can't be sensory overloaded.

If you have teens or tweens interested in STEM you should get them into combat robotics. It's relatively cheap and awesome and I can't wait to get more young people involved. #stem

This was a great finale for a kid's birthday party.

In the year 2024 no captcha should still use 0 and O. How is this still a problem?
