I’m all about the Hairy Creature emoji added with the iOS and iPadOS 26.4 updates!
Today, as part of the public release of iOS 26.4, Apple has introduced designs for 163 new emojis, including a distorted face with bulging eyes, ballet dancers, a Bigfoot-inspired cryptid, an orca, and a treasure chest. The update also includes a revision to the Puerto Rican flag emoji.

Finished reading Steve Jobs in Exile — The Untold Story of NeXT and the Remaking of an American Visionary by Geoffrey Cain.
Finishing the acknowledgements at the end and reading the penultimate paragraph of the book.
I just happen to be finishing reading while at our friends’s cabin on the shores of Swan Lake very near Lake Vermillion where most of the book was written. A wonderful place to be a writer.

Reading Steve Jobs in Exile — The Untold Story of NeXT and the Remaking of an American Visionary by Geoffrey Cain.
Just started chapter 25, which begins in August 1996. Apple CEO Gil Amelio is struggling with what to do with Copland, their latest OS in development.
Found a bit of an anachronism:
“But without a modern OS, Apple users were left stuck in the dark ages, facing the spinning beach ball of death every time an application froze.“
A work week was six 12-hour days. You brought your lunch with you and ate in near darkness.
The mine elevators hoisted not only men but the mined iron ore to the top. Two cages stacked on top carried the men. A skip below carried the ore.
