This is me tomorrow. I wish we had a space suit lying around.
I have committed iPad Pro 13"
My brain has been tempting me with the new iPad Pro, about how nice it will be to have that big screen when I’m sitting and reading or doing social media. Or whatever. I’ve been replying to my brain that hey I just got laid off two months ago and I need to focus on building an income stream or finding another job.
My brain said to me this morning, well, if you had a new iPad Pro it would be a backup computer if the MacBook Pro goes belly-up and needs to spend time in the shop. You’ll be able to continue working. And until then you’ll be able to enjoy the iPad Pro – it won’t just sit on a shelf collecting dust.
I said to myself, ha ha foolish brain you are tempting me again with your ridiculous– wait, that actually makes sense.
So I talked it over with Julie. The iPad Pro arrives in 2-2.5 weeks.

Professor Marylouise McLaws, a technical adviser to the World Health Organization’s Infection Prevention and Control Global Unit, praises Singapore, which has a system where the government sends an SMS to citizens, who click a link which uses the phone’s location services to report their location.

It’s an intriguing system, with the advantage that citizens can easily opt out after the crisis, by simply refusing to participate.
We may need to allow government to track everybody’s locations during the duration of the pandemic. But we need to roll back surveillance when the emergency is over. And once government has been given power, it’s really, really hard to roll that back.

“Getting in your mobile hairdressers?! What the fuck is that for? Don’t you understand that the casket will be CLOSED?”
My first multi-person Zoom coffee break this morning. We discussed bronies and the catechism. I don’t think I’ve ever been to a meeting where either was discussed, let alone both.
I saw this excellent sidewalk art near the house. “Just keep walking” can be seen as inspirational or a threat.📷
