This week, because of this business trip to Las Vegas, I’m taking a “mild” break from my creative hobby. No more time tracking, no urge to look for the next opportunity to write and share. I am just putting myself in a different mood for this business trip to be successful and valuable. 😌

I’m tempted to only bring my 2018 iPad Pro for this business trip to Las Vegas1. I’ll need it to take notes during sessions and do meetings with Teams. That should be enough. I try to travel light2.

  1. And AirPods Pro 2! ↩︎

  2. I will bring the Magic Keyboard for sure. ↩︎

I’m a subscriber of Inoreader, but I read the feeds using Reeder 90% of the time. I only wish that Reeder could update the engagement stats on Inoreader. Is that even possible from a RSS client perspective? I highly doubt it. You’ve got an opinion on this subject? Let me know.

If you are like me, with macOS Sonoma, you like widgets on the Mac desktop. The Mac experience can become quite busy with many widgets. This is why, more than ever, I depend on HazeOver to reduce the distraction caused by widgets1,2.

  1. I set it to 50%. Yes, I set the widgets to be in monochrome when the focus isn’t the desktop. ↩︎

  2. I know, this sounds like an ad. 😜 ↩︎

Some Must-Needed Changes to My (Too Many) About Pages

Today, I’m removing my digital garden content. The most valuable parts were moved to my About Page, and the rest has been dropped. Both of these pages are created and maintained in Craft. I like the idea of Digital Gardens, but it’s not practical for me to maintain on top of this blog and my other websites. Again, it’s time to focus.

Next up, should I get rid of my Linktr.ee page?1,2 🤔 And, why does my Micro.blog about page is empty? 🤨

  1. I know what you think. I have probably way too many websites. And I would respond: yeah, you are right. ↩︎

  2. Linktr.ee offers great design tools and useful analytics. I’m not ready to drop those. ↩︎

Getting mentally ready for a business trip to Las Vegas next week. I’ll try to put my 15 Pro Max to the test with night photography🌃. It’s been three years since the last travel, thanks to COVID. Can’t wait to see this city where everything happening in Las Vegas stays there. It better be1.

  1. I don’t play slot machines. I hate that. ↩︎

My 2018 iPad Pro is starting to show its age. iPadOS 17 might be the last enjoyable version on this device. Stage Manager is disabled. No external monitors support. Great external monitor with my Mac mini, though. 🤔
