🆕📝 These Are Not the Consoles You’re Looking For

Maybe the “gaming console”-capable A17 Pro is as destined to upgrade the Apple TV’s gaming cred as it is the Mac’s.

📷🧗 Got over to Cloudspin Cliff with Matt Oaks and @saw_dust_ery last night. Cool cliff with awesome views of Whiteface. Led up Sundays are for Friends (5.8) not clean, but felt good to test a piece again. Then top roped CCR (5.10a) after Oakcy put up the rope in the dark. Incredible climb. Can’t wait to get back there.

🆕📝 7 Things This Week [#109]

I have great news for Stewart’s Shops customers in northern New York, at least in the Lake Placid region: they finally accept tap to pay again after a multi-year hiatus. Should be great for bikers and runners.

I did a new thing today and had an absolutely grand time with it. Can’t wait to share more. 😁

Hot Take™ , coming in 🥵: I don’t begrudge this transition to (essentially) email addresses as usernames for the web. If everyone had a domain to use instead, I think that’d be best, but user@domain.name is okay in my books.
