My favorite internet weather dude, Ryan Hall Y’all is forecasting that it’s possible for snow to return to the southeast, even in Atlanta. Would be wild to happen twice in one winter here!

Finished reading: Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler 📚
I really enjoyed this book. It feels remarkably relevant (even down to the years this story is set in!) to our current political and climate situation. Despite how tough and awful the world described here is, there’s a message of hope.
I’m excited to immediately move on to Parable of the Talents.

📺 Finished the season of Shōgun last night and wow did I enjoy it! I know I’m late to this show, but got reminded of it due to the Golden Globes.
Now feeling a little sad there’s no more to watch until whenever season 2 comes out.

Ok, so snow is not at all an everyday occurrence here. But other than being a rare event, these fit the series theme!

Snow day in Atlanta! ❄️❄️❄️

Towards the end of the presentation, he showed off the Dock. You all know the Dock, it’s been at the bottom of your Mac screen for what feels like forever (if you keep it in the correct location, anyway).

For the second time in my short Apple career, I said a quiet prayer to the gods of demos, hoping that things didn’t break. For context, I was in my twenties at this point and scared witless.
Here’s the development story of the first version of the Dock!

Celebrating a moment of nerdy victory: took apart my coffee grinder to deep clean it and accidentally broke the wiring to the button that activates it. 😱
But got out the soldering iron, resoldered the wire, and it works again! 😎
