It was another year along in grade school for Tyler, but Mazie celebrated the significant milestone of moving on from Junior High and next year going on to the “big show,” aka, High School. 00:00:33.111 --> 00:00:55.261 We went to her promotion ceremony today and heard several speeches from select kids in her class. Some heartfelt, some funny, all a little goofy or a bit awkward in that teenager transition sort of way. As some kids were called up for recognition, Tammy and I remarked of ones that seemed like they were in there twenties and others that seemed more kid-size still. 00:00:55.761 --> 00:01:21.624 During the ceremony, I felt a lot of pride for my daughter and her friends, and all that they have done to get this far. I also felt that sense that in another dozen years, they will be starting down the path to adulthood and making significant contributions. I loved the optimism and positivity that they showed. They beamed with it, while all were expressing a “freak out” about the pending high school transition. 00:01:22.124 --> 00:01:42.969 It was a special moment, one I’m thankful I was able to be part of. It was also a moment that made me think we need to do this more in life. Celebrate the important moments. Take note of the positivity we can bring to a project. And don’t worry about being a little goofy or awkward, even though you are well past those transition years. 00:01:44.369 --> 00:01:46.267 Now, the Featured Links section. 00:01:46.867 --> 00:01:50.915 Link one. How Cooking Can Change Your Life, Michael Pollan, YouTube. 00:01:51.415 --> 00:02:01.423 Great, short talk from Michael Pollan on the importance of the fundamental act of cooking food for ourselves and our families. Via Patrick Rhone and Swissmiss. 00:02:02.323 --> 00:02:05.516 Link two. Apple’s Audacity, Stratechery by Ben Thompson. 00:02:06.016 --> 00:02:16.467 Thompson's recap of the WWDC twenty nineteen announcements is insightful. He gave a lot of attention to the new Sign In with Apple capability and the privacy components of it. 00:02:16.967 --> 00:02:37.576 Quote. This is the context for Sign In with Apple: developers can now let Apple handle identity instead of Facebook or Google. Furthermore, users creating accounts with Sign In with Apple have the option of using a unique email address per service, breaking that key link to their data profiles, wherever they are housed. End quote. 00:02:38.076 --> 00:02:54.069 I've been using Maskmail to create unique email addresses and one of the things that frustrates me is how many websites block services that allow you to generate random email addresses. One upside to Apple doing this is I don't see people trying to block them. 00:02:55.469 --> 00:02:57.317 That's the end of Featured Links. 00:02:58.717 --> 00:03:00.631 Now, the My Weekly Photo section. 00:03:01.231 --> 00:03:10.813 Peony Flowering in Lyndale Rose Garden. June 2, twenty nineteen at 4:01 PM Lyndale Rose Garden, 1500 E Lake Harriet Blvd, Minneapolis MN. 00:03:12.213 --> 00:03:14.270 That's the end of My Weekly Photo. 00:03:15.670 --> 00:03:17.518 Now, the Notable Links section. 00:03:18.118 --> 00:03:22.443 Link one. In Conversation with Juan Porral and Gregory Haley, FOD NYC. 00:03:22.943 --> 00:03:44.807 Greg was one of my roommates in college and his passion for architecture and design has always been so front and center. Reading this interview with him it reminded me a lot of people that build software as well. Greg highlights that design brings people together and is relatable. There is a lot of technology that aspires to do the same thing. 00:03:45.707 --> 00:03:50.067 Link two. How to Organize Your Life With GTD (Step-By-Step Workflow Guide). 00:03:50.567 --> 00:03:58.315 Good introduction and overview of GTD. I've been using GTD for 10+ years and plan on using it for another 10 and more. 00:03:59.215 --> 00:04:03.592 Link three. An update on Sunday’s service disruption, Google Cloud Blog. 00:04:04.092 --> 00:04:13.376 When the biggest cloud providers in the world have issues it’s a good reminder on how hard it is to run technology platforms, at scale, continuously. 00:04:13.876 --> 00:04:36.689 Quote. In essence, the root cause of Sunday’s disruption was a configuration change that was intended for a small number of servers in a single region. The configuration was incorrectly applied to a larger number of servers across several neighboring regions, and it caused those regions to stop using more than half of their available network capacity. End quote. 00:04:37.189 --> 00:05:00.195 Sounds similar to other big outages, unintended consequences of a change or accidental scoping of a change. These changes come from expert administrators, so the machines follow the direction. I don't think it'll be that long before we build some skepticism into our platforms to not always trust even an expert administrators direction if the scope of that change is large. 00:05:01.095 --> 00:05:06.663 Link four. The Full List of Automation Triggers in Shortcuts for iOS 13, MacStories. 00:05:07.163 --> 00:05:18.667 This is a pretty big power user feature coming to iOS. Being able to trigger a Shortcut on the events shown here will bring a whole new set of customization capabilities to Shortcuts. 00:05:19.567 --> 00:05:23.638 Link five. Shopify Unveils First State of Commerce Report, MarketWatch. 00:05:24.138 --> 00:05:30.952 A variety of retail consumer behavior information collected by Shopify. Some interesting highlights in here. 00:05:31.852 --> 00:05:35.380 Link six. iOS 13: The MacStories Overview, MacStories. 00:05:35.880 -->
