With this one almost in a tie. Ok. Maybe it’s slightly better. But mood dependent.

Yes. It’s snowing a little. Had a feeling it might. Didn’t say anything though. That extra entropy would have opening my mouth would have made it not happen.

Nothing big. Just flurries and fun.

Enjoy! #atlwx #gawx

First freeze of the season tonight. #gawx

Ok. Maybe I’m a little OCD. But I’m not wrong, right? I’m just a lowly iOS developer (w/opinions).

But I have a feeling the interior designer husband is going to lose his mind when I show him in the morning.

I put together the inconsistent part. It’s not my fault, right?

#Lovesac #Sactional

Some moron rotated a chenille fabric 90 degrees for par of an expensive sectional sofa. Great displeasure is being experienced. Angry phone call is inevitable. Attention to detail is demanded at these prices.

So….. Yeah….. #LovesacSactionals. I’m not having it.

Stuff is way too expensive for this this kind of inconsistency and lack of attention to detail.

Halloween is over. But we’re still carving pumpkins here at our house!

Looking like we see the winter’s first freeze Monday night into Tuesday morning. #gawx #atlwx

Oh. And that’s beyond the obvious corruption thing. We live in interesting times, for sure.

Things aren’t gonna go well for the all in on AI.

Companies are making big moves and laying off some smart people who make good money. This is how revolutions start.

And AI isn’t as amazing as the hype. It’s impressive. Until it’s not. Where that “not” is? 🤷‍♂️ Now you have no one left to tell ya.

Tens of Thousands of White-Collar Jobs Are Disappearing as AI Starts to Bite — The Wall Street Journal Layoffs at companies ranging from Amazon to Target are sending young and experienced workers alike into unwelcoming market

Things are getting ugly. What will happen?

1.) These companies will suffer chaos with a premature, big decision on tech that, while impressive, is still a lot of hype.

2.) Folks, with a lot time on their hands now, will cause untold chaos.

My bet is both. Fun times.

And a reminder to give to your local food banks.

Don't pull a Mike Johnson and say you've not seen the headline or know why.

Every little thing helps.

Reminder that this stupid, archaic ritual is coming up this Sunday morning.

Apparently I already did my homework last night. True story.

Direct Relief | Official Site | DirectRelief.org A humanitarian relief charity that works in the US and internationally to improve the health and lives of people affected by disasters and poverty.

Please consider helping those affected by #HurricaneMelissa.

I personally like Direct Relief. It's a transparent organization that doesn't send you endless marketing mailers. No politics. Money goes toward the most important thing. Getting aid to those in need.

www.directrelief.org

Hurricanes feed off of warm water. Watch how quickly the eye of #Melissa collapsed as it moved onto land and over the mountainous terrain of Jamaica, and how quickly it is reforming now that it has moved back over water! I will be adding this radar loop to my earth science lectures.

I’m not entirely sure why changing the bedding necessitated a Wilhelm Scream.

Just stainless.

I mean, I’d love to have actual cabinets that required something like a subzero doing that blend thing…. but alas we have basic bitch contractor cabinets.

Someday. maybe.

I’m ashamed to admit that I’ve never seen this one. And all the fucking gratitude for fixing that!

Oh dear.

….and folks have been pissed with Siri too. You know that’s her fault.

Uh hum. #Apple. People are getting pissed with buying your expensive gear and you’re own #enshittification. 😒

If You Thought Ads in Apple Maps Was Bad, Samsung is Putting Ads on $1,900+ Refrigerators Apple competitor Samsung has a line of "Family Hub" smart refrigerators equipped with integrated displays, and anything with a display can...

When we had to buy a fridge for the new house. I’m so grateful we went for a nice Bosch model. Though the Samsungs were kinda cool looking. But I knew #enshittification was inevitable. I’d be pissed AF if we had spent 3k+ and had ads!

Preliminary Outlook for this Winter Forecasting would be much easier and more accurate if the atmosphere was a linear system such that one thing always led to the same thing…

Kirk Mellish put out his preliminary look at winter. Likely milder and drier than average. But counterintuitively, maybe better than average shot at seeing some snow.

All the BOOOOOOOO!!! 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

#droughtSucks #warmFallSucks #warmWinterSucks #gawx

Lovely October weather, if not quite as cool as I and others would like. Hope you are enjoying!

But we have some serious drought conditions, and we need the rain. Hopeful we see some this weekend, but it won’t make much of a dent in the drought.

#drought #gawx

I have so many friends and family asking me how to downgrade back to #iOS18. I’ve never had them ask before.

Sure. #iOS7 was a crazy change. But not many folks had iOS devices back then.

So I know I’m not alone in hating #iOS26.

Finally. The whole thing feels incomplete. Like a last minute homework assignment. I get it. I’m a developer. But… there are some product decisions in here that really make me question Apple’s priorities. Not that this is a new thing. But it’s gotten even worse.

#iOS26

The transparency thing is akin to donald rump and his ridiculous obsession with gold. Seriously. We do not need this obnoxiousness and expensive junk in our lives. It’s excessive and pointless. Just cuz ya can doesn’t mean ya should.

#iOS26

The little accelerometer driven glint nonsense around the icons and dock was cute for 34 seconds.

Apple spent way too much time on the sliding down Notification Center thing. As cool as that is, I still can’t rely on the remind me filter in mail, faces in photos, or messages iCloud sync. #ios26
