I think I’m going to have to unsubscribe to another famous Apple pundit’s RSS feed, even though he seems to be on everyone else’s blogroll. His work is just corporate apologist propaganda these days complete with antiworker barbs and too much “Don’t you know who I am”. Daring it ain’t.

🚴 So my daughter and her family (all cyclists) are going to France in July and they don't plan to see a single stage of the Tour de France and I don't understand where I failed as a parent.

🏃‍♀️ My wife is an ultra-runner (and also a 13-X grandmother). She's running a 100-mile race next weekend. I'll be crewing as usual. I expect her to be obsessive about the weather and many other things in the interim. It just gives me a chance to practice patience.

Mac people - excluding Apple’s own apps, what software have you been using the longest? For me it’s going to be BBEdit (released in 92) and ToyViewer (released in 95), both of which I’ve used since the 90s. Honorable mention to Launchbar and PathFinder.

That’s about 75 miles worth of food and water. Wonder Woman (Mrs. Amerpie)is ahead of schedule after the first 12-mile loop and back out on the course. #ultrarunning

A Day in the Life https://louplummer.lol/post/2024-05-09 I got up at 4:10am today, about twenty minutes earlier than normal. After making my first cup of coffee, I checked to see if the two blog posts I had scheduled were posted. They were, so I cross posted my app review to Reddit, as is my habit. I opened... #WeblogPoMo2024
