We had a great time solving Granny’s Recipe Rescue at Copper Cat Escape in 48m 18s! We had five “rookie” misses that we caused us to “face palm”. 🤦 We are coming back tomorrow to do another room! Room 60!

I suspect the reason Apple Intelligence mail categories are only supported on the iPhone is at least in part because of the difficulty with synchronizing that state across multiple devices. Feels similar to People identification in Photos at first, but Apple can’t control the backend on email.

I’ve used Sanebox for a decade to defer emails, but now I’m trying Fastmail and I’m realizing how nice it is to be able to individually specify a defer time per email instead of just having two or three options as folders. Downside is I can only defer in the Fastmail clients.

After much debating I finally decided to get a new laptop and ordered a MacBook Pro with M4 Pro and configured nicely. This thing is going to be fast! Will be especially nice for photography. 😎

I’ve been a Sanebox user for over a decade on all my mailboxes. I’m trying going without on my personal email and using Apple Intelligence features with Fastmail support for defering. Sanebox hasn’t been innovating for a long time and I want to see if I really need it.

I’m a big fan of Jay Farrar and Son Volt so it didn’t take much debate to become a member of the Electro Melodier Society, aka The Official Son Volt Fan Club. I dig that they are creating a channel to distribute new and old music to members.

Tammy made a batch of these Peppermint Bark Chocolate Chip Cookies and they are so good. 🤤

We had an incredible brunch with friends at Lynette. Tammy and I shared the Blackened Avocado Toast and Stuffed French Toast. The avocado toast was amazing! Tyler enjoyed the Burger and thought it was great. They also do custom lattes. I had the Potica Latte which was perfect! Will return!
