Well this is just lovely from Tamsin Greig.

Probably the first laptop that really delivers on marketed battery life.

I know Apple Silicon is basically stuffing phone/embedded tech into a laptop, but holy shit the battery life is absolutely bonkers good.

RIP the amazing Paul Ritter.

Dropped into campus to pick up a laptop. It feels normal. 77F and people enjoying the sun 🌞 The last time I did this, it was a ghost town. Barricades in dark corridors like Hadley's Hope.

77F here today. In the heat you can't picture the sting of midwinter cold, and in the depth of that cold you can't remember that film of sweat on your brow when the heat comes.The mind is a funny thing.

I enjoyed this short about Larry Mullen jr, especially his comments about inspired amateurism.

I'm getting am M1 Mac for evaluation, should anybody have any app questions. Quite curious to see what's native and what isn't, for when the kids come back armed with them in Sept.

The electrons are back. I am pleased. I didn't want to go to bed and be woken up by all the electronics coming back to life simultaneously. My NAS for example, emits a shrill beep when it spins to life.

Update: It was indeed a transformer, the next street over. At least 300 properties affected.

Lots of sirens so some clown probably drove their brodozer into a transformer. Who knows...

The lights just went out. I am tooting on cellular in the dark.

In the middle of a partial power outage. Two living room lights are on very dimly, like Elder Scrolls lanterns.

Never experienced this before.

Beautiful weather today. 🌞🌄☀️🌅

I hate to throw cold water on this but until it's clear safety culture has evolved beyond the bad old days space tourism is extremely high risk.
