This is a step in the right direction but Apple needs to open the App Store to a lot of app categories. I would love an audio equalizer. That would really help.

Just had a demo from a virtual classroom vendor. It was a disaster. It was in Teams and it would not work in the new version of Teams, wouldn't work on my iPad, I could only join on my phone. If I can't join your demo, there is no way I'm going to buy your product.

Weren’t the Buccaneers supposed to be playing another football team tonight? Doesn’t look like the other team showed up. #nfl #mnf

Congrats to the Lions. They deserve the win, as do their longsuffering fans. And it was a good game for any football fan, way better than the dumpster fire in Dallas #nfl #lions

Watching the Cowboys implode. Looks like this game is over before the half. How long before McCarthy is fired? Before the end of the game? #nfl

I stopped using Twitter months ago, but left my account active. I deactivated my account today. I don't want any part of a platform run Elon Musk.

I’m seeing a lot of articles basically saying The Marvels is a flop. It’s a really good movie that reminded me of the original Marvel movies - fun and exciting. Aside from the Spider-Man movies it might be the best since Endgame. Certainly better than Guardians 3 and the last Antman and Dr. Strange movies

I kind of hate it when software updates move buttons around for no apparent reason. I get momentarily confused every time I look in the place where the button used to be. I do that for weeks before my brain relearns the navigation. Then they change it again. And yes, Microsoft, I am talking about you.
