Pete Crow-Armstrong with his second homer of the day to extend the Cubs’ lead in Minnesota. This dude is special.

Initial impression of iPadOS 26 Dev Beta 3: big improvement. Feels a lot smoother on my M2 iPad Pro. They dialed back the transparency quite a bit in several places, most notably on first use the Safari address and tab bar.

Proud dad moment: K16 took 3 AP classes last year (soph HS year) and took the AP tests for each of them. Got her scores back today: 5s (best possible score!) on all three tests. This kid is ambitious and knows how to work hard. Can’t wait to see where it takes her.

A little cooler this morning but was still dripping like a saturated sponge after a 4-mile run. But now a little breakfast, a cup of coffee in my hand, and time to get started at work. Short week this week, too! I’ll take it.

Partly soft speculative sci-fi; mostly a meditation on love, loss, and family. Quite lovely.
