The AT&T cable in front of our home. Can you figure it out? Copper still connects us, even in Silicon Valley.

Took the kids to the coast and the mustard seed flowers are out in all their glory.

What we do with chickens in Silicon Valley now. We scan them with our iPhone LIDAR. :-)
The new DJI Osmo 4. $130.
Oh and disclaimer: I buy my own shit. No freebie handouts. So I am free to tell you the truth.

Unscientific research.
A Tesla crosses the Golden Gate Bridge at least every 80 seconds (I am counting while walking across right now). Actually is far more frequent than that. One way. That is around one every 60 cars. Just think of the map it is building. Only Tesla has a neural network with cameras on the road.
It is damn cold here.

San Francisco has lots of problems but Mitchell’s ice cream is still amazing. I have had ice cream all over the world (serving the stuff was my first job and I never lost the addiction) and most places don’t come close. I had peanut butter indulgence and butterscotch marble.
Rated #1 in SF on Yelp. Ryan had Grasshopper Pie. Patrick Scoble had Peach and Strawberries and Cream. Milan, chocolate, and Maryam Scoble had coffee and mint chip. All were amazing. There is a reason it is #1.
The Mitchell family ran a dairy here in the 1880s and it still runs and manages it today.

Two people went to heaven together today.
Both young. 40 and 43.
Both brilliant. One a programmer. One an actor.
Both cared about people and left the world better for them being here. The one I know saved thousands from sex trafficking with his programming.
Both died of the same disease: colon cancer.
Heaven got them way too soon. Way too soon.
I will talk more about my friend after family posts but Maryam Scoble and I are devastated by this loss.
It hit me a lot harder than my dad dying a couple of months ago. He was 82 and you expect death at that age but 40?
I don’t have the words except to say “2020.” When I see my friends struggling I just say “2020” to them and they answer back “yeah. F##k 2020.”
My friend kept getting sick for two years and doctors couldn’t figure out why. Young people aren’t supposed to get colon cancer.
Heaven got two great people today and damn that sucks.
The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories.
