We said goodbye to my last remaining grandparent this morning. She transitioned peacefully to her new home. I’m thankful for the wonderful blessing she was in my life. Rest well, Nonna. I love you so much. Give Billy a huge hug for me. 🙏🏼💕

So, I bought a hot tub like an old person. It’s good to be old.

Finally getting around to watching “For All Mankind” on Apple TV+. We are about halfway through the first season and it’s so much better than I expected. Highly recommended!

What a challenging, hectic, and satisfying week this has been. Scaling a business with triple digit growth is a unique experience, but when you make it work, it’s truly incredible.

Fine, build me a Matrioshka Brain and you can mint all the NFTs you want.

I just uttered the statement “I have a flask pocket in these sweatpants,” and that’s pretty much the most quarantine thing I’ve ever said.

One of my favorite things to do when I visit Palm Springs is to go to Lappert’s, get a Dole Whip Float, then mix in some dark rum when I get back home. Lazy tiki cocktail 😎🌴🍹

For those that are curious, I wrote up a summary of how I integrated my personal health data from Apple HealthKit into my website. - https://cleverdevil.io/2021/taking-control-of-my-personal-health-data

Today, I finished up the first phase on my personal health tracking system. I have all of my HealthKit data since roughly 2015 in my personal data lake. You can see visualizations here: https://cleverdevil.io/health and I also have integrated health data into my monthly summaries, such as https://cleverdevil.io/summary/2020/01

Drinking a whiskey sour 🥃, eating home made pan pizza 🍕, and watching an outdoor movie 🎥 with all the kids in the neighborhood 👧 by the fire pit 🔥. Can’t beat it!

I finally figured out how to automatically sync my Apple HealthKit metrics to a data lake in S3. I’ve been wanting to do this for a very long time. Next step will be integrating the data with my website for in-context health metrics.

So, the bad news is that I had to cancel my order for a Power Mac G4 Cube enclosure because it was pretty low quality. The good news is that I lucked out and found a G4 Cube on eBay that actually boots! It arrives next week and I’m thrilled 😁

I just achieved Inbox Zero for the first time in about 18 months. Wowza, does it feel good!

I’ve been having audio issues on my computer for some time, and I finally decided to replace my trusty Tascam US-2x2 XLR interface as I suspected it may be the issue. Sure enough, the Audient EVO 4 that I purchased seems to be working great. 🤞🏼

Tonight’s season finale of The Expanse was not only the best episode of the series, it was one of the finest hours of television I’ve ever seen. My goodness. Just incredible.
