I’m still getting used to all of the features on my Apple Watch after more than a year of owning it. And of course there’s a new one on the market that I’m not the least tempted by.
I’m quite looking forward to seeing (and hearing) Mike Delamont this evening at the Edmonds Center for the Arts. The show is called God is a Scottish Drag Queen and comes with excellent reviews.
Excellent news about Australian film director Peter Weir receiving an honorary Oscar. Much deserved and certainly an Oscar is overdue.
And so I’ve just turned on the automatic posting of these posts in Micro.blog to my Mastodon instance which I’ve only started using in the last couple of days.
Continuing the watch “The Crown”. I’m quite fascinated by this show.
And Google is your friend.
I’ve got to workout how to conveniently sent entries that I post here in Micro.blog over to Mastodon. I’m certainly not leaving this place, but I’m beginning to experiment with the other service.
We spent quite a few minutes checking out this map over at the Marina in Kirkwood today.
At Edmonds Marina last Saturday A calm but rather cool late afternoon.
And here’s an example.
Fall is still hanging on here in Edmonds.
No problems criticizing Elon Musk here on Micro.blog.
An interesting article by James Fallows in the situation for Twitter followers.
A big windstorm came through here a couple of nights ago. Snohomish County got hit pretty hard with many people losing power. Here at the south end of county we didn’t get any wind and didn’t lose power.
Do I need to join this alternative to twitter?
My Apple Watch rather mysteriously went to sleep with a blank screen last night and could only be aroused by depressing the crown for a second or two. This morning it’s back to normal, so I don’t know what happened to cause the strange behavior, but it’s possible that pairing with the new phone caused a problem or …
It’s great to have learned the back roads from the Maple Leaf area of Seattle to Edmonds, especially on a rainy late Seattle afternoon when I-5 is very congested going north.
I have a lot to learn about taking photos with my new iPhone 14 Pro. At least I have a head start from many years of using cameras of all shapes and sizes.
I remember watching this science documentary show when I lived in Hamilton, Ontario in the late ‘70s.
I’ve installed MacOS Ventura on my 2017 iMac. So far it’s doing well. I am concerned about slowdowns with new MacOS versions but perhaps the 32 GB or RAM is helping out.
A challenging but rewarding interview with science fiction author Kim Stanley Robinson. It’s a long read but definitely worth your investment in time.
I’m presently listening to “The Dark Hours” by Michael Connelly which is a Renee Ballard mystery/thriller. It’s book 4 of the author’s new series with Ballard who is a police detective in LA seemingly becoming a bigger presence in the author’s books than an aging Harry Bosch. Actually one of the interests in listening to this novel is the fact that Bosch does have a role and his part is narrated by Titus Welliver who plays the character in the TV series.
I’ve gotten a library card here in Snohomish County and I’m enjoying and wide selection of audio and e-books available in the library collection.
Waiting line to board ferry from Friday Harbor to Anacortes. I very fine day indeed.

#The world might be a better place if we followed some of the ideas of one Buckminster Fuller. I got interested in his ideas over 40 years ago when I was living in Hamilton, Ontario and doing post doctoral research in chemistry at McMaster University. I might have been inspired to read one of his books after attending a talk there by Ted Nelson of hypertext fame and a Fuller enthusiast.
