My wife got to use Apple Pay before I got a chance. 😏

Just calculated the first presidential elections our kids will be able to vote in. Feel instantly old, in the future.

Doing my part for democracy! πŸ‘

Didn’t realize I get to vote on removing mandatory food requirements for wine sales tomorrow. Looking forward to that one!

Passbook has gradually moved from an app I put in my β€œHidden” folder to one that is now on my first screen.

Thanks US Bank I’m now setup to use Apple Pay. My regular card transactions don’t show up like they do for AmEx.

My Apple Pay setup was automatic. Tammy’s is requiring a phone call to the bank.

Whiplash

Tammy and I went to see Whiplash last night at the renovated Uptown Theater1. Really good film about the ridiculous effort that must be put in to be great at something, in this case music. In addition to the storyline your treated to wonderful music and some stunning drumming on screen. Purchased the soundtrack on the way out of the theater.

Investors eye site near Mpls. Farmers Market for MLS soccer stadium

I really hope this happens. Having an MLS soccer team, but more importantly a team playing in downtown Minneapolis, would be great. I’d definitely look at season tickets!

First thing I noticed in the new Outlook for Mac is Retina graphics.

Finally succumbed to WordPress Jetpack. It is pretty nice. πŸ˜•

Can I order my Apple Watch yet? Waiting is the hardest part.

I bought $40 of Bitcoin and now I have less money! I thought this was supposed to go the other way!
