I just had the best apple! A Kanzi!

The store was out of my usual go to, Honeycrisp, so I took a chance on this one.

Of course, this is the first one I’ve ever had so I will report back if that was just a delicious outlier.

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk. 😜

I lucked out and got the new M1 iPad yesterday (though not the fancy 13″ with the mini LEDs). I’m really liking the Face ID over the Touch ID on my old iPad.

Most of the time it opens so fast, I don’t have to think about it.

Cross section of a 10 Gbps USB-C USB 3.x cable, potted in resin for photography.

This cable has 8 shielded "micro coax" cables for its high speed signals, each of which is only 1 mm across.

(Ok, I get off this bird kick in a little bit but…)

Here's a Steller's Jay I saw in Zion last week. He was jumping around the chaparral so much, I didn't think I'd get a good shot but then he hopped into the clear! #notabluejay #stellarsjay #zionNP #getolympus #300mm

@RobImpala It’s what I love about YouTube! All these little special interests that you would never find in the old days.
