I wrote this two years ago today:

I’ve been working very hard on a new practice: Only taking out my phone and using it when I have a specific need/task and turning it off and putting it away immediately after.

Not perfect at it by far but feel myself getting better or at least thinking about “the rule” when I pull it out.

Need to renew this practice.


I saw my first Waymo vehicle in Saint Paul Minnesota today. Unsure if it was a mapping vehicle because it was damn like or if that’s the way, the car/taxi vehicles look too. Regardless, it was a very strange looking thing.

For the record: I’m still using a 2020 M1 Macbook Air (running Sequoia) and an iPhone 12 mini (running iOS 18) as my primary devices and I have no current plans to change that.
