Two Mile Difference

Two miles does not sound like very far to drive. “It’s just down the road.” It can mean a 5 to 10 minute drive. But, it can be a striking difference in landscape.

First view of Half Dome and El Capitan on Highwwy 41 driving into Yosemite Valley.

The first view is impressive; but no match for the better known Tunnel View.

Although you can see Half Dome better the first time, you get a better understanding of the layout of Yosemite Valley from tunnel view. There is the slightest hint of the valley in the first view, but at Tunnel View it spreads out before you. You see the enormity of El Capitan for the first time.

Work has slowly and not so slowly crept into my personal time.

Now that I’ve opened the door to working when I’m not physically in the building, I don’t know how to close it. Or if I can.

The work/life balance of being a manager.

CNN+ Looks Doomed

Wait, CNN has a streaming service?

Why?

I made the dangerous choice to see how much credit I have in the Google store and now I’m thinking it’s time to upgrade my Pixel 4 even though I am still happy with it’s performance.

Maybe I’ll wait until the Pixel 7 is released and upgrade then. That makes more sense since it will likely be this fall.

TIL that there are apps that will automatically skip ads in YouTube.
