Wealth is the Missing Piece - by Anne Helen Petersen
AHP talks about wealth not as the flashy gold jewels of extreme wealth but as comfort and a pathway to feeling comfortable and safe. And how little that safety and comfort has extended past White Americans.
Found an entry/exit tone bug in the Webex XML APIs for Webex Events. It’s getting patched on the 16th by Webex.
If you want to know the secret code until then…
Beep = No Tone
Announce Name = Beep
No Tone = Announce Name
Tonight is for cake. Dolly Parton banana pudding cake.
What are people on iOS using for calendars? We are deeply missing Business Calendar 2. Why does every app have a horizontal week view?
I need to play with Fantastical more, but I really miss Business Calendar 2 from my Android -> iPhone swap. It was perfectly customizeable so I could get the exact widget I wanted and then easily swap on/off calendars I wanted.
Sorry, you are too tall to ride this ride.
Moving to the iPhone feels really alien after so many years of vanilla Android Pixel phones.
It’s nice to be able to bring some of the niceties of “home” with me to the iPhone to help bridge the gap.
I’m sure I’ll come around to the keyboard but it feels really basic.
Having just bought iPhone 13s, I’m not sure exactly how the Magsafe charging works.
My wife has a magnetic mount in her car, with a metal plate in the case for her Pixel phone.
We had iPhones years ago and are moving back from the Google Pixel line… anything you wish you had known when you swapped? I’m half familiar with the Apple side of the pond (we have iPads and MacBooks) but hadn’t used the phones in a bit so I’m behind on the latest and greatest.

Who are airplanes designed for?
It’s not for someone 6'5". It’s not for someone a foot shorter.
These gentlemen decided to cool off under our trees in the back yard most of the day.
Peace Lilly in bloom this morning.
Some days need to start slow with a bunny munching greens in the yard.
Gold Finches are pure joy.
I forgot I was on PickleTok because I used to watch a women from Ukraine or something taste pickles. And I’m only watching this guy because he has a nice face.
—My wife, who has been sick (not Covid) for the past 5 days.
I saw three goldfinches in the back yard today. This fine fellow is from earlier this week as this morning’s trio were too quick to capture.
Seeing them is always a treat that brightens my day. It’s a job to play “is that a bird or a bloom?”
Podcast listening stats. In reply to @chrisjwilson’s post about listening stats
My listening has taken a huge hit in the past 18 months without much time in the car. I used to have a 60-90 minute commute each way. So I’ve spent many hours of quality audio time with podfriends.

What iPhone does The Large Handed buy in 2022?
Wife is getting latest SE model.
I’ve enjoyed the Google Pixel “a” line of cheaper phone. I don’t need a top of the line pocket computers.
I like photos and don’t have a plan with 5G. Going to stay with Google Fi as provider.
This albino rock pigeon has been hanging out in my neighborhood for a few days. I always see it at the same house.
We have plenty of mourning doves but rarely do we see pigeons. And even more rare to see a white one.
On the bird front, our bright yellow flowers have attracted Gold Finches! I could not be more pleased.
The #100DaysOfHomelab has sent me on a renewed path to figure out local DNS for my tinkering and I had a breakthrough tonight.
Setting up pihole with unbound for DNS plus nginx proxy manager gives me local DNS resolution inside my house. But not publicly accessible.
No more remembering which IP address and port which project is running on!
I wish I had somewhere in my house I could stash my homelab boxen where they would be out of earshot. But without a basement, extra room closet, or an attic that’s an appropriate temperature, they sit partialls near my living room router and in my office to make noise.
Running away to spend the weekend in Richmond, VA and see Bon Iver Sunday night.
