In honor of FireWire support presumably going away in macOS Tahoe, here's pictures from when I connected my original iPod to my M1 MacBook Pro.

(The recommended song to play in your head while looking at these photos is "Pee Wee's Big Adventure: Breakfast Machine”.)

Okay, this "Haptic Trailer" — when viewed on your iPhone — is pretty great.

"typing speed"?

I prefer the term: "terminal velocity"

I was just able to check off an incredibly specific item from my Bucket List.

The iOS Simulator includes three pre-built GPS simulation routes. This morning as part of my jet lag fighting morning jog I followed the City Run route (which leaves from 1 Infinite Loop and then meanders through the adjoining Cupertino neighborhood). I’ve virtually followed this route probably thousands of times in the last decade, now I've seen it for real. 😁

A great start to what is going to be an incredible week!
