iPhone 15 Models Feature New Setting to Strictly Prevent Charging Beyond 80% - MacRumors
It would be cool if when this setting was turned on the battery at 80% appeared like it was at 100%

The meandering brook behind our house may have a new beaver dam
New Worlde streak milestone of 150. Weird to think I have only missed 5 words in almost 600 games played. Note: I use a copy of the OG site which is why the font and style may look odd compared to the NY Times site.
We spent a week in the Adirondacks and had a lovely time. The house we rented was on Fern Lake, about 30 minutes southwest of Plattsburgh.
Always fun going through the post vacation ritual of making HomeKit happy again. Half the switches that are supposed to stay on were turned off and other random Hue failures.

The way the radar images load in the Apple Weather app is so frustrating. I never know if there isn’t precipitation or if the image of it just hasn’t loaded yet. Can they bring back the old Safari checkerboard loading style while the images load? Don’t even get me started on the animated loop.
Our big vacation this year was to a new state for me, California!
We spent three nights at Hotel Del Sol in the Marina District. The neighborhood was fantastic with pretty quick access to the restaurants of Union street and only a couple blocks from a MUNI bus stop.
The first morning we went to Alcatraz Island National Park and checked out the old prison, but also enjoyed seeing the bird sanctuary part of the island.
After Alcatraz we wandered along the waterfront. We had some delicious crepes for lunch at Crepe Cafe on Pier 39 and then took our chances with Magowans Infinite Mirror Maze
The last thing we did down at the waterfront was Musee Mecanique, where there are hundreds of old arcade games and mechanical entertainment devices.
For dinner we went to Roam Artisan Burgers and followed that up with ice cream at Swensen’s
On Saturday morning we woke up, grabbed breakfast from the hotel and then made our way towards the Presidio. On the way there we did stop for a little drone flight from the top of one of the hills.
We explored the Presidio national park site on the morning of our last day and wandered under the eucalyptus trees while exploring different Andy Goldsworthy sculptures.
Lunch at Golden Boy Pizza
After lunch we spent the afternoon at the amazing Exploratorium and only left because they shut the power off to all the exhibits at closing time.
On the last night we had some delicious mexican food from Los Hermanos
Our go to coffee for the entire visit was Equator Coffees
We picked up our rental car down by the waterfront and started our journey towards our next vacation destination near Yosemite. On the way there we took a little detour near Santa Cruz to visit Harry Cowell Redwoods State Park We walked around the entire park and took in the amazing trees and even got to go inside some of them. It really was an unbelievable sight.
My first App Store downloads. Only TyroTuner (just out of view) is still on my phone 15 years later
Celebrated our 17th anniversary tonight.
Fun work dinner in the city
I’m watching the iOS 17 portion of the WWDC keynote wondering how each of the features will fit into the headset story.

I spent a good part of yesterday playing Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. There are a lot of similarities with its predecessor including its ability to suck me in for really long stretches of time.
Recreated the pizza pot pie I had a couple weeks ago in Chicago. It turned out surprisingly well.
Walked in the woods for Mother’s Day
Last weekend, my wife and I went on a weekend getaway to Chicago and had a fantastic time. I think it was the first time we went on a flight somewhere without the kids since our trip to Iceland back in 2014. We flew Southwest out of Manchester, NH on Friday night and landed at Chicago Midway around 8:30. On the ride to the hotel, I ordered my first pizza of the weekend from Giordano’s. It took about an hour for it to get delivered to the hotel, but it was really good.
In the morning we woke up and went out for breakfast at Goddess and the baker. I had a cinnamon roll cruffin and had a hard time figuring out whether to use a fork and knife or just use my hands.
We checked out Cloud Gate sculpture, aka the Bean
I had another slice of pizza from the The Art of Pizza
Next we went to the Field Museum
Wandered by the waterfront before dinner.
Had an amazing tapas dinner at Mercat
The capstone of the visit was checking out the famous Pizza Pot Pie from Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder Company
Another highlight was seeing riding bikes along the lakefront using Divvy rental bikes.
Fantastic day in Chicago! Pizza, museums, tapas, lots of walking and ice cream.
Weekend getaway to Chicago. I am very excited to finally have the deep dish pizza.
My drone photos from the recent news article about the Old Man league saving the baseball field.
I still have blisters from this work, but the field looks great and my drone photo is in the newspaper. Old Man league rescues Merrimac baseball field - Local News - newburyportnews.com
My 2022/2023 ski season just came to an end with a fantastic final weekend at Sunday River. Thanks to the Slopes app I track my activity. I skied 501 runs across 26 days and reached a top speed of 56.6 MPH. Here is a video I put together for the Last Ski Weekend
