Our company observes MLK day, so I did some avoidance by riding up Mt. Hamilton again. Riding to the beginning of the climb, we had some gusty winds that almost persuaded me that climbing would be a bad idea. Weirdly, the winds were stronger at low levels with very little towards the top.
It was warmer than last time at the top and I again enjoyed the somewhat hidden courtyard. This time I spotted the plaque thanking the Jon Graff fund for helping with the maintenance.

@broadwaybabyto I love my #apple devices (typing on one now), but #timcook has destroyed any potential personal legacy in the last year.

After passing on a 2nd hand Acura ZDX EV at the weekend, I stopped by our local #lucid_motors showroom to test drive the new #LucidGravity.
What a difference! The ride is"definitely not an SUV" and it's hard to overstate how much nicer of a vehicle Lucid have made compared with the re-badged GM offering from Acura. New sticker price of the Gravity is about 33% more than the ZDX when new, but you get very much more than a 33% better vehicle with roughly double the maximum cargo volume!
(To actually sell the ZDX, Acura had to offer steep discounts, typically around $20k).
Not sure I'm in the market for a ~$100k new EV, but definitely intersted in a 2nd hand one in a couple of years.

Belkin will be bricking many of our sometimes-smart Wemo switches next year. We've had them for >10 years, so a good run for consumer electronics devices.
For several years, the fine folks at @atpfm have sung the praises of Caseta by Lutron. I've begun testing a small setup and I'm already sold. Yes, it's a little more expensive, but the way Caseta works is a significant improvement over our Wemo setup. Don't be put off by the range listed in the specs, this appears to be conservative by at least a factor of 2 in my testing.

I was cutting things fine getting to Haneda Airport and trusted #flighty on which terminal to go to for my JAL flight from the train. Oops - this is the first time it’s got it wrong! I took the free bus between terminals and still got there on time.

I’m eating at the breakfast buffet at a 4 star hotel and for some reason I’m reminded of this Fast Show sketch.

#ginandtonic That means a short train ride + a visit to a store to pick up breakfast since we have to head out before the hotel’s breakfast buffet opens.
