The senior citizens in the doctor’s office waiting room are talking non-stop. So many personal details being screamed out across a whole room of strangers.

I love Iconfactory’s Tapestry – a unified timeline for my iPhone

New app lets iOS users weave together sources

When the Iconfactory announced their Tapestry Kickstarter, I backed it immediately. I’ve been a fan of the Iconfactory’s work for decades, and was a loyal user of Twitteriffic before Musk cut off the API. I’ve had beta access for months as a Kickstarter perk and I’ve been using it daily.1 Now that Tapestry is released to everyone, I wanted to write a little review with some thoughts about how it’s working for me.

Sitting on a bench on the Horseshoe and A SQUIRREL JUMPED ON MY KNEE and then took off. I think he was as startled as I was.

Enterprise has me in their system as “Roberta” instead of “Robert A.” They just called asking for Roberta, and were very confused.

Almost as funny as how Pet Smart has me in their system as “Bub” instead of “Bob.”

Today would have been my mom’s 80th birthday. Thinking about her today.

After two weeks of kids being sick and snow days, today I have the rarest of occurrences… a normal day without a single scheduled meeting. If you are looking for me today, I’ll be at my desk getting things done.

Big party at Craft and Draft Irmo to celebrate their 5th anniversary. That’s right, the opened in January 2020 right before COVID shut the world down. So glad our favorite local bar is still thriving.
