  • 03:16:46 Ok, just checking Twitter after most of day doing other things. WTF is going on with Saudi and Qatar and the rest? This doesn’t look good…
  • 03:44:24 Retweeted @_Drew_McCoy_ 03:04:31 Relax. Everyone is reading Wikipedia right now. They will have expert hot takes in a minute. https://t.co/4FPeqZHG61

  • 15:05:24 Retweeted @neal_katyal 12:00:02 Its kinda odd to have the defendant in HawaiivTrump acting as our co-counsel.We don’t need the help but will take i… https://t.co/n5JGSpf87d
  • 16:12:07 Retweeted @DianneG 16:07:32 CNN’s @Arianedevogue has confirmed this *is* George Conway’s acct.
    It’s his first tweet (from this acct, at least)… https://t.co/nAoL0JqsRS
  • 18:02:04 I’ve been on a work call for the last hour+, time now to catch up on what I missed from WWDC… :-)
  • 18:07:49 Catching up with WWDC using the MacRumors Summary: https://t.co/L5lUToFvNO
  • 18:09:42 WWDC like: Kill video autoplay. Yes, thank you very much. One of the most annoying things out there.
  • 18:11:08 WWDC like: Optimized iMessage storage. HUGE for me. I *NEVER* delete texts, want complete archive. Messages currently 50GB on my phone.
  • 18:13:31 WWDC Like: Control Center back on a single page. The multi-page Control Center was SO ANNOYING
  • 18:15:45 WWDC Miss: Interesting live photos updates, but what about automatic animated GIF creation for sharing with non-Apple? Or did I miss that?
  • 18:18:39 WWDC Like: Do not disturb while driving. I try to be good, but I am often tempted… more support to resist temptation is good.
  • 18:29:03 WWDC Meh: New app store. App store definitely needed some fixes and updates. Discoverability sucks. Not sure this is the right fix.
  • 18:40:48 WWDC Wait and See: AR still seems like a gimmick. Waiting to see real apps/games where you want to keep using it after the 1st few minutes.
  • 18:56:40 WWDC Like: The iOS 11 features for iPad. Almost makes me want a new iPad again. My wife considering iPad instead of laptop this year.
  • 19:18:52 WWDC Meh: Home pod. I still just don’t get these kinds of things. I know some people love them, but I’m not there yet.

Curmudgeon’s Corner: Punching Customers

This week on Curmudgeon’s Corner, Sam and Ivan do indeed talk about Trump/Russia. But they also talk about a lot of other things. On the newsy side, they talk about the Paris Agreement, special elections, the healthcare bill, the Portland attacks, Clinton’s latest comment about the elections, potential 2020 candidates, Kathy Griffin, and of course covfefe. In other sorts of topics they hit on kids developing accents, the perils of fast food, Plume wifi, and taking big life jumps. All good stuff!
