The new AirPods are an unremarkable update from the description. Still getting them.

First reaction to new iPads is to follow through with my iPad mini threat and get one ASAP (64Gb with cellular). However, going to use my iPad Pro 10.5 at work for a few weeks first to see if my iPad Pencil use holds.
Do not disturb the Robertos.
And just like that, I know I’m probably getting a new coffee toy next month from the looks of the upcoming Aeropress Go.
Edit: Duh, it probably comes out in August. Well, I’m going to have on my InstaBuy wishlist alongside the AirPod 2 then.
The Delter Coffee looks a more complicated AeroPress. Intrigued, but far from convinced.
Sad that Waffle.io is closing. It’s a great tool with better features than the default Github ones.
Such a good ad.
WWDC Monkey
I got the monkey invite. Really think it’s going to be a big year and kinda sad I again decided not to try to go.
As a dad, David Nanian’s eulogy to his, is something to strive for:
And so we’re here today to celebrate him. To celebrate his achievements, certainly, because he was a great doctor. But also to celebrate his … his goodness. He was, truly, a good man.
Spotify’s complaint against Apple in the EU does sound a lot like Apple. Just like with the battery life issue, there’s probably a good reason for many of the complaints — but the lack of transparency is going to bite them in the butt.
Migrating microblog from micro.blog to blot.im. Will write more about it, but main reason is cost. Blot’s bang for the buck is perfect for how much I blog.
Family and friends in Venezuela without power for close to 50 hours. Most hospitals without backup generators and airports closed. It’s a nightmare of our own making, but please know (and share) that the dictatorship lies when it says the situation is under control.
I was also surprised by Shawn Blanc’s switch to an unhipster drip machine. But have to agree with this post. I probably can’t tell the taste difference either, but the ritual is what makes it fun.
Visited my favorite Costa Rican coffee toaster today. Hacienda Real peaberry has been the daily bean on the AeroPress since I tried it and was curious of their operation. It’s literally a micro toaster (3 room house). They ship to the US/Canada if anyone wants to try.
Coffee toasting
Everyone’s a critic, but I think the never released Pebble Time 2 still looks better than the new Versa Lite.
Watching The Umbrella Academy yesterday and a David Gray song came up. The flashbacks to his White Ladder album actually gave me pause. Must never forget/understimate the power of music.
Can’t wait to add The Wandering Earth to my Netflix list.
I always develop an interest in projectile physics and spatial awareness when the kids get the stomach flu.
Since December I’ve been working very hard on measuring developer output, software CapEx, and organization level indicators. All with as little overheard to devs that doesn’t improve PMO flows. This comment on HN is an amazingly distilled version of many of my learnings.
Domain names are like battery packs, make it cheap enough and I can always self-justify one. Luckily rmateu.dev or 5typos.dev doesn’t sound that interesting.
