  • A Good Source of Protein

    When a food is cited as a “good source of protein”, consider how much protein it would supply if half of your calories for the day came from it. Peanut butter is often described as a “good” or “great” source of protein. 10 tablespoons of peanut butter supplies about 1000 calories and 45 g of protein - on the low side for a daily intake, especially considering the it doesn’t have a great protein quality (PDCAAS) score.

  • It’s great that Apple added more robust package tracking to the Wallet app in iOS 26, but I’m sticking with Parcel. A major limitation to Apple’s solution is that it’s isolated to the iPhone. There’s no equivalent on the Mac or iPad.

  • Granted it’s only been one day with the 26 betas (iOS, iPadOS, MacOS, WatchOS), but I’m finding the anxiety around the UI changes way overblown. Overall, I find them a definite upgrade and have not had any significant issues. The Mac OS changes in particular have been refreshing.

  • The addition of “Stage Manager Mode” to iPhones plugged into an external display may have major implicaitons. It could essentially transform the phone into a full-fledged computer when docked (e.g. via USB). The rationale for increasing processor performance in phones has been dubious in recent years - this could change things.

  • After a long day, I get into bed, take off my watch, then see this. Seriously? (Begrudgingly gets out of bed).

  • I left this chamomile tea brewing overnight, reheating in the next morning. Apparently, chamomile is hard to overbrew. Tasted fine - may even better than a conventional brew.

  • I loved the ability to of the Ember Mug to keep coffee warm, but I found it hard to clean and keep charged, especially as the charging base pins are easily damaged. With a bit of preheating, the Yeti Rambler mugs do an excellent job.
