This week's guest on Micro Monday is @vincent! These episodes are fun because it's like I'm hearing what people really think about working with me. 🙂 They catch up on the official Android app and more.

We're working toward an early beta of the next Micro.blog for iOS. It's really fun to test. A fresh take on the UI, consistent where it needs to be and new at the same time.

Saw the subtitled version of Totoro last night at Alamo Drafthouse. Such a pure movie, suitable for anyone. As movies get more and more expensive to make, feels like we're losing anything not written by a committee forced to follow tried-and-true formulas. 🍿

Pretty solid updates to Apple Watch. I'm not really in the market to upgrade yet, but maybe within a year or so. 40 minutes of this event on Apple Watch is a lot, though… Going to be a long one.

Impressed with Apple's Emergency SOS via satellite. I don't love that it will eventually be a paid service, though. Shouldn't have to monetize everything, especially the equivalent of a 911 call.

Really clever what they're doing with the so-called Dynamic Island on the new iPhone.

Reflecting a bit more on yesterday's Apple event, I think I will upgrade to the iPhone 14 Pro. Maybe not on day 1, but this year. I'm still using the 11 Pro, which I love, but probably time for the camera upgrade. Also would be useful to test my apps with Dynamic Island.

Even what seems constant eventually changes. Queen Elizabeth had an extraordinary life. Thinking about all the world events over 70 years she was there for, but also some of the unexpected twists and turns in the road of the monarchy, with Diana and what might have been. 🇬🇧

Train tracks at east 6th.
Forgot to clear my schedule after getting the updated COVID booster yesterday, so a little surprised that the shot floored me. Unfortunately had a lot planned to do today! Not the best timing, but glad to be done with it... Just keep imagining post-COVID fall travel. 💉

Couldn't sleep, so I was already up super early this morning and decided to order the iPhone 14 Pro. Purple. This is my first iPhone pre-order in years... I don't really miss the launch hype. 📱

The Killers at Moody Center.
Dreamt that 37signals hired me to integrate Hey and Wordle. In this dream world, 37signals had a beautiful multi-million dollar office. Some employees didn't think that Wordle stats fit in an email client, but Jason wanted to push it through with an external contractor. Shrug!

I've gone all-in using the upcoming Micro.blog for iOS beta on my phone. It has been a great way to notice all the little things we can improve and tweak. On track to release the beta next week.

Did not finish: The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger. I started reading this when the TV show came out. Neat idea but haven't been able to get back into it. 📚

Finished reading: Locklands by Robert Jackson Bennett. Impressed with the way each book in the trilogy built on the initial foundation, taking it much further than I expected. 📚

Happy Sunday! I rolled out a nice upgrade to the "Edit CSS" button in Micro.blog this morning. It now uses a split screen with site preview on the right side. The preview automatically updates and always refreshes with the latest CSS. Much faster to iterate on CSS changes.

Reshuffled my Libby holds queue with new books. Also, wasn't sure I was going to stick with Kindle Unlimited after the free trial because of the limited selection, but I've found it's mostly been worth it as long as a few books I'm interested in are in there. 📚
