<p>I'm Don. I live in Arlington Virginia ("Occupied DC" as far as I'm concerned. Retro-retrocession now!) and get up to a variety of nerdy things. I was very proud of We Love DC and wrangling authors and websites was good practice for parenting.</p><p>You don't have to follow me back! This isn't twitter 15 years ago! If you're interested in my blather, great, welcome, happy to have you. But I am not offended if I'm interested in what you post but you're not interested in what I choose to talk about.</p>

@jcrabapple I worked for a number of years with a tiny Chinese woman with the thickest Jamaican accent you’ve ever heard. We met initially when I walked into her office to ask directions - it was a new building for me - and when she turned and answered my question I was unsure if it was a prank or if I was having a stroke.

@atpfm I know I’m whining to the choir here, but does nobody at Apple vacation with people they want to share photos with who aren’t family? Family sharing is fine for me and my wife but we’re vacationing with another family. We can iMessage each other but that quality is degraded and it’s kind of a hassle. Shared photo album? Same degraded quality. I wouldn’t think too much about it if Apple didn’t love service revenue so much. Why do they leave all this revenue on the table?

@Brendan My 2012 Mazda only opens the drivers door on push one, push again does all. My wife’s 2016 Honda has a configuration option for the unlock when you touch the handle and the fob is nearby. I was surprised when she wanted it set to all doors but it’s nice she feels safe.

RE: https://journa.host/@theintercept/116443708407000438 It is my sincere hope that every day going forward, until and including the day he dies, someone says to Tim Cook “Congratulations on how highly Donald Trump thinks of you.”
