Apple really wants you to know that it loves the Mac just how it is. Or perhaps more accurately, as embodied in its latest computers: just how it is, but a lot, lot faster.
This is good to see, though I wasn’t actually worried.

The zip line across the lake was far with a great view #mbnov
Our pumpkin wasn’t too spooky this year #mbnov
We had great fun Tree Top Trekking!
The view from the top of the trees was great, especially given the weather.
Please wear a mask! They really do help. #mbnov
Rather than turn up the heat, I decided to wear a sweater. I likely won’t be able to get away with this much longer, as the temperature keeps going down. Winter is coming! #mbnov

Says by Nils Frahm is both a great song and today’s #mbnov word of the day
Finished reading: Breath by James Nestor. A great book about the importance of breathing. Full of interesting stories that certainly convinced me to be more thoughtful about my breath. The end of the book also has a good summary of the main points with detailed methods. 📚
The latest news on a promising COVID-19 vaccine is great news. Especially for my elderly grandmother, who is very keen to get out of her apartment and see her friends again #mbnov
I hope we can return, some day, to politics being a force for good, instead of division #mbnov
I’m not sure what binds them so closely, though I treasure it #mbnov
Our lungs inflate with fresh air at the top of the ski hill #mbnov
Puzzling through the outcomes of a wild week with the help of a lager 🍺 #mbnov
I often miss the days when I had to stoop down to pick up my kids for a hug. Though I’m very proud of the teenagers they have become #mbnov
Hexagons are the Bestagons is good fun
Yesterday’s #mbnov word “astonish” would have been a great one for today, given how near the US presidential election is today
Every year I’m astonished by the first snowfall #mbnov

Having just finished a collection of quick, urgent projects, I’m looking forward to some time to concentrate on the big picture #mbnov
A couple of episodes in and I’m enjoying Long Way Up on Apple TV+. Relying on electric vehicles really adds to the adventure
Rouge River hike
An impressive attempt to visualize the standard model of particle physics by Quanta Magazine
More quantum weirdness: tunnelling particles can exceed the speed of light
Some great colours on the neighborhood trees 🍁🇨🇦
For my “A Day In The Life” photo, here’s a look out my window at a beautiful Fall day here in Toronto, Canada at noon
A great day for apple picking 🍎 🌳
A nice hike through Crother’s Woods
This agenda shortcut from Matthew Cassinelli is a useful way to start my day. I modified it to include flagged reminders and just have it appear as text, rather than be read aloud by Siri.
