612: Screen on Face

And I have not yet tried this new version of the display where you can get wide and I think ultra-wide versions of your Mac's display. It sounds incredible, but it requires a beta of macOS, which I am not going to be messing with, as well as the beta of VisionOS, which I would mess with. But...

The only time that the Vision Pro has really been a productivity tool for me was as a monitor for my Mac. And a lot of that is probably because I'm an old man who just prefers using the Mac.

I find it hard to believe that Apple would completely and totally get rid of basically all the smarts and just have a dumb display, which makes me wonder, okay, well, what's the Apple way of doing a display such that it's smart, but not quite as smart as a Vision Pro? And I don't have an answer for that. That's why Apple is Apple, and I'm just talking about it.

All right. Let me start by reminding everyone, this is going to be group therapy for the three of us. If you're not interested, that's fine. If you disagree with the way we feel about this election, that's fine, I guess. You don't need to tell us about it. That's fine. You can skip this chapter. This is why chapters exist. just move right along.

But I think the three of us need this for the three of us. And hopefully maybe it'll be a little cathartic to at least one of you. Um, last night I was watching the coverage and as early as like eight, eight 30 Eastern, I was like, this doesn't feel good.

Aaron and I looked at each other and we were like, I don't think I want to stay up for this. Like I was planning to stay up for me because we typically go up on a school night at like 10-ish at the latest. And I was thinking I was going to stay up till like 11 or maybe midnight and just ride this baby out and watch it come in. And I was mostly excited for it, to be honest with you.

And 9.30, the two of us looked at each other and we were like, okay. I don't like how this feels. I'm just going to go to bed. And we went to bed. I slept like trash. And at about five, I gave up and woke up, looked at the news and saw, Oh no. Oh no.

And by the time I actually hauled myself out of bed at like six 30 ish, uh, what was a theoretical ending became a official in the terms of like the AP called it, CNN called it, they called it for Trump. And, um, I've, uh, I've been really sad. I've been really sad all day. I've been really dejected all day. I've been really worried all day.

Not as much about me particularly, but I'm worried a fair bit for the women in my life. You know, I'm not... I'm too terribly concerned for Erin because, you know, we are officially done having babies. We are surgically done with having babies. So short of something very unusual happening, all of the baby related stuff, I'm not too worried about.
