I requisitioned a Mac mini for a particular task at the office. I went back and forth on what computer to get. This would be the first desktop Mac at this office.
Apple Vision Pro, One Year to the Day.
Apple Vision Pro, a really expensive personal therapeutic electronic device.
I tried using it for productivity , working on my daily task. In the end I found a different use case for it. I use AirPods Pro with Vision Pro whenever I need to isolate.
I don’t think I would want to use Vision Pro in public, at all.
Here’s to the second year of Apple Vision Pro.
Apple Watch Sans Blood Oxygen App
I was aware that I would be losing “Blood Oxygen” App on the replacement Apple Watch Series 7 I received couple of days ago.
I paired it late last night, (or was it early this morning?) and received the confirmation.

Learn more in the Health app on your iPhone.
Luckily I still have an Apple Watch Ultra that still has the Blood Oxygen feature.
Return of The Apple Watch
I took my Series 7 Apple Watch to an Apple Store, for it was having issues with battery and connectivity. For obviously unknown reasons, this Apple Watch stopped communicating with my iPhone. Luckily I still have another older Apple Watch that I could use while having this Apple Watch shipped for replacement.
I received the replacement today. I have not had the chance to pair it with my iPhone.
So Said the Box
At first, I thought I bought a new iPhone mini a few years ago, but no, I bought a refurbished one.
Well actually it was an iPhone assigned to one of my colleagues who preferred a smaller phone.
Third and Blue
I’m getting an M4 iMac ready for deployment tomorrow, Saturday January 4, 2025; and it’s blue.
Some of our colleagues are traveling today to attend a memorial service for another colleague who passed away a few weeks ago. The service will be held tomorrow.
Personal note, it’s pretty cold and wet today. Thanks to the heavy fogs earlier in the morning.
Twice the HomePods, at a discount.
A few ago I found out that Verizon was selling second generation HomePods in “Midnight” at a discount.
I ordered two of the HomePods immediately since I like the original HomePods sound than their “mini” counterparts.
Both HomePods were delivered the next day.

As of this writing, Verizon has sold out of the “Midnight” HomePods.
