We went to Outer Banks North Carolina a few weeks ago and one of the really cool things we did was a wild horse tour. Wild horses were brought over by Europeans and they are protected in a refuge. We took a tour with a company that drives you out across quite a bit of …
Lego Titanic – Day 5 & 6
https://youtu.be/TTFvU_Rod90 I am nearing the end of my journey to build the Lego Titanic. I'm deep into hour 16 and have made it to the last portion of the back section. Yesterday I finished up the first unit, which houses the fourth funnel, the aft Grand Staircase, the reciprocating engine bays, and the beginning of …
MacBook Air M1 First Impressions
My MacBook Air M1 has arrived and these are my observations in the first few days. I'll publish some additional details later after I've spent more time with it. While the form factor is identical to the Intel model, it's new to me, so I'll be covering its size and feature set in addition to …
39 Reasons Why
We finished the third season of 13 Reasons Why on Netflix last night. It's an interesting show based on its subject matter and based on the fact that the first, second, and third seasons have 79%, 25%, and 12% ratings respectively.

Christmas 2017
Another Christmas season has come and gone. The boys have another set of memories to add to their childhood experience.

It snows, we decorate, there's Santa, and of course, presents. …
Excited for iPhone X
The iPhone X goes on sale tomorrow and I'm really excited for it. Mine won't ship until November 17 at the earliest but I'm OK with it; I'm still excited reading the reviews as they come out. I was concerned that FaceID might interrupt the flow I'm used to, but it seems to function very …
Mac Museum Virtual Tour
Added updated photos to my Mac Museum page so you can see what it looks like now. The photos that were on there were very old. Since that time I've added a book shelf, more cabinets, and had to expand to the other side of my basement!
