Big bro, little bro. But which is which? 📷

Uhh…just checked in on Reddark and over half of the subreddits have now gone private in protest of Reddit’s API decisions. This got way bigger than I expected and I’m very curious about how (if?) Reddit will respond.

Whoa, imagine a modern operating system update coming in under 30 MB. A majority of my apps have bigger file sizes than this.

I’m weirdly getting an error page when trying to access Instagram on my Mac in Safari. It made me think that Make.com’s access had been cut off, but, no, it’s browser-wide even going to the base instagram.com domain. FireFox login worked just fine. 🤷‍♂️

Error page on Instagram.com saying, "Sorry, this page isn't available. The link you followed may be broken, or the page may have been removed. Go back to Instagram."

Did macOS lose the animated Memoji option on the lock/login screen? My little guy used to shake his head at me when I typed my password wrong, and be overall more fun to interact with. If not, how do I turn that back on??

Oh hey, look what just came in! Nothing too impressive, but I felt compelled to complete this challenge in my new hometown. Next up, the 46ers! 📷

Amazing day to be out on a big multi-pitch rock climb. It was my first time running up the Chapel Pond Slab on the Regular Route (5.6) with @saw_dust_ery. Big rock! 📷

I had such a good day! It was beautiful out. I had an excellent hiking client and took them on a really fun trail (Three Brothers). Got a long-overdue haircut. Got back on some rock after a couple of weeks off from climbing. Great Ahi Stack dinner. AND I’m going to bed early. 😁 📷

Got in a bunch of rope work practice yesterday! Did my first rope solo on rock(!), rappelled using saddlebags method, and tried out hauling using a 3:1 pulley system. Success on all fronts! Practice makes better. 📷

Don’t worry, I visited my place of worship on this most beautiful of spring days. 📷

And was rewarded with meeting this cutie adventure cat named Albert!

The practice of rising early enough to greet the sunrise is not one that I’ve mastered. But I’ve never regretted it, either. #mbmar 31 📷 (timeline | grid)

Cam cleaning day can only mean one thing…rock season is right around the corner!! 📷

The mirror reflections on still water always mesmerize me. And apparently my dog, too! #mbmar 30 📷 (timeline | grid)

It’s sometimes wild to think about the rope systems we climbers use to support our lives. #mbmar 27 📷 (timeline | grid)

This spice rack is one of my favorite things in our kitchen. It’s so much better than the drawer of jumbled containers we used to use. #mbmar 25 📷 (timeline | grid)

There are few things more intimidating (nor as majestic!) as a snow leopard holding court. #mbmar 24 📷 (timeline | grid)

We all have the chance to make a difference. And it’s not just a flip of the coin. #mbmar 23 📷

I’m not generally a fan of spiders, but this furry little insect is, to be fair, quite cute. And an impressive hider spider. #mbmar 22 📷
