Taking the family to dinner in Seattle, and the kids saw and then demanded Din Tai Fung. I’m not even mad, honestly. Sure, we can get it at home, but... SOUP DUMPLINGS! 🍜 🥟 🎉

Taking a trip to Seattle with the family tomorrow. Nope, we aren’t going to visit AWS. We are taking a long weekend trip to celebrate William’s six birthday! 🎂🎉

After all this is over, I’d definitely watch a zany, dark sitcom about Rudy Giuliani and his cellmate.

My jaw is dropping every hour or two with this news cycle. I simply cannot fathom any sort of delay in removing our President from office. So thankful for brave whistleblowers who give us a chance at that outcome.

Honestly? iOS 13 and the latest iPadOS 13 beta have been pretty awesome for me. I know many people have had issues, but so far, things have been relatively smooth on my devices, and the features are great. 🤞

At @MissionCloud, one of our core values is to “Embrace Life.” Startups require a lot of patience, dedication, and flexibility, which can lead to stress. Today I was able to help a great team member wrap their arms around life. So gratifying 🥰

Nice win for the Rams over the Browns tonight. Plenty of issues to clean up, but happy to be 3-0. Goff needs to be more careful with the ball. Woods had a few drops. Missed a FG. Limit mistakes, and the Rams win by three scores.

Yes, that’s Untitled Goose Game for Switch in the background, and it was #shotoniphone11pro

Lots of travel the next month or so, culminating in a week long trip to Cabo to celebrate my 40th birthday. Today, its LAX-DTW-DCA. See you shortly, Washington DC.

I’m a big fan of Apple’s trade-in pricing and Upgrade Program on iPhone. Why don’t they offer these programs for other products? I’d gladly participate for Apple Watch and iPad Pro as well.

Do I think The Matrix is dangerous? No, absolutely not. It is very much a product of its time. A groundbreaking and entertaining film. But, the technique it used to appeal to its audience can absolutely be exploited.

I remember being so drawn in by The Matrix. I felt seen. Yes, Morpheus, I do feel different. I feel misunderstood. Am I special? Am I the ONE?

Looking back, I’m somewhat ashamed of being drawn in. I think of the young boys being tempted by the message of the alt right.

I rewatched The Matrix for the first time in years this weekend thanks to its 20th anniversary re-release in Dolby theaters. I was struck by how badly I wish I could see it again for the first time, but also was shaken by the dangerous message it sends to white, tech-savvy men.

Smoking a pork shoulder today. Got started a bit later in the morning than expected, so running it at a higher cook temp. Left the top vent open a bit too much, which also caused a spike in cook temp while I was at church. Follow along at https://🐷🔥.ws/now
