   I was on the “no phone by bed” train until my garage was broken into at 3am and realized I couldn’t quickly call the police.

    Wake up and drink two glasses of water before coffee or breakfast. Always makes my mornings a little better.

    I think an important step beyond that is making the feedback loop tight. You can repro, great, but if it takes 1-2 hours then it’s going to be slow. Attack from the entrance/exit, once you know that part works, ratchet it down, tighten

    Loved my Sea Eagle, but it was hard to carry to alpine lakes. If you like the Sea Eagle, something like an Alpacka Raft might be up your alley.

    This made me think.. if my partner and mother in law are on the same guest wifi, are the computers all doing recon at each other? Is that a problem if you work for competitors in some way?

    I am always a little surprised when peers who have newborns _don’t_ go the Snoo route. It’s expensive but a) can be rented or b) resold for much of its value.

    My dad finally retired his 2008 flip phone last year, but before that a QR code would have been no help to him. I visited them recently, and not a single restaurant (business at all) had QR codes in their town.

    My mother has no idea how to check her email and doesn't use it. She also doesn't know how to text. Or check voicemail. It's just another point of anecdata, but this is my bar for "non-technical."

    Bothered me as well, so I installed Little Snitch and subscribed to a well maintained list of rules. I’m sure there are some edge cases I’m missing, but now I’m positive Adobe isn’t phoning home.
