iOS 18 User Beta 1 is out! Now, the annual question: how long will I hold out before installing a beta? If history serves, about half a day.

And yep, 45 minutes later it’s all done for us but a little more rain. We picked up 2” in a hurry, but aside from one small branch that came down I don’t think we took any damage. #IAWX

Family party in the basement watching the storm coverage with a Tornado Warning in our county. Looks like the worst is past of us, but there’s still more to come. Probably 45 minutes to be in the clear.

I’m never sure when I clean the coffeemaker whether the coffee actually tastes better or whether it’s just a placebo effect.

Sometimes being the responsible one at work means leading a big meeting; other times it means starting your day by running the descaling cycle on the coffee machine.

The #Fever were up 31 early in the third quarter and are collapsing here in the 4th, allowing the Mercury back within 11. Some bad coaching here - how the heck do you let the opponent go on a 19-0 run and not call timeout?

Caitlin Clark with 15 points and 9 assists at halftime for the #Fever leading the #Mercury. But for a couple of her teammates’ fumbles, she’d already have a double-double. More importantly, her 15 points are not leading the Fever’s scoring.

The best kind of meeting is a cancelled meeting, but the next best kind is a very short one.

Yesterday was college orientation for our second kid. Six weeks from today we move them into college. I’m not ready for this.

When we were at U of Nebraska yesterday for freshman orientation there was also apparently a big evangelical youth camp of some sort on campus. Seeing all those youth earnestly doing individual and group devotions triggered all sorts of memories. I hope those kids find their way out.
