A biography statement? Hmmm...I don't know. What do I say here? When I was born? Where I grew up? My family? My education? My career as a higher education student affairs and IT professional? Nah. I'm good.

@lexfri Probably better for it. 😉

@georgetakei Thanks, George. That from you makes me feel like I won an Emmy.

@georgetakei Ditto, already voted. Signed, the quiet majority. We don’t talk, we vote. 🖖

@jsnell @dmoren So happy to try the new goods in the vending machine this season. 😋

@lexfri No TVs in the Friedman household?

@sixcolors @jsnell It may be too soon, but perhaps @siracusa on Six Colors podcast tomorrow?🪦Mac Pro!

The A18 Pro in the MacBook Neo is 19% faster than the M2 Ultra in the Mac Pro in single-core performance (Geekbench 6).

The MacBook Neo starts at $599.

The Mac Pro, which is still for sale, starts at $6,999.

@upgrade I’m betting it is David Pogue. Book comes tomorrow. Great timing.
