Wheelchair curling is curling. Full stop. (Curling is such a welcoming sport that we have accommodations for wheelchairs, for using a stick to deliver, for kids, you name it.) If you like watching curling you'll like the paralympics too!

One thing that totally blew up my schedule this January was being offered the unique opportunity to write a review of @davidpogue.bsky.social's book “Apple: The First 50 Years” for The Wall Street Journal. Couldn’t pass up the opportunity, and so I read a big book of Apple history at the beach!

They actually sent an email out to frequent flyers apologizing and saying they're looking at changing their zoning and boarding group approach. I hope so!

this is what happens when you use an iPhone chip in a laptop - if they update this next year it'll be 12GB memory

Currently helping an elderly family friend figure out if an email is a scam (which it obviously is) and hey, people who make mobile email apps, it's a dark pattern to not make the email address of the sender visible without needing to click on the little arrow thing.

Just thought you should know.

Interesting design quirk I noticed - Apple logo on the Macbook Neo is not shiny but just embossed.

Absolutely fantastic decision. Benetti is the best.

As I've seen the MacBook Neo, here's a color view from your slightly color-blind correspondent:

* Silver - You know
* Indigo - Midnight but lighter
* Blush - Pinky silver but I can see it so it must really be pink
* Citrus - A very bright yellowy gold, but not bright like a tennis ball

MacBook Neo looks really good. It's a lot like the MacBook Air but with enough compromises (chips, ports) to get it down to $599.

$599 is a staggering price for a new Mac. There's never been a NEW model Mac laptop for that price. The cheapest new Mac model ever sold was the $499 Mac mini

the MacBook Neo should be a giant wake up call for Microsoft to improve Windows 11. Apple’s MacBooks have always largely been premium devices, but the $599 Neo is firmly in the core part of the Windows OEM market. This is a red alert for Microsoft, Lenovo, Dell, HP, and others

Did you ever do a Grant's Records blog? Because your music takes are just so deep and interesting. I guess that's what social media is for.
