(September 24, 2025) These are the things that I am doing, watching, reading, listening to, and thinking about in no particular order.
Doing
I successfully obtained my CISM certification, and I renewed my PCI ISA certification for another year as well. It's nice not to have to study for anything right now.
Watching
The new King of the Hill episodes were fantastic, and I have started the latest season of Tulsa King.
Other than those two shows, I am excited that 28 Years Later is finally on Netflix. i hope to watch it sometime this week.
Reading
I’m still reading Jurassic Park on Google Play Books.
Listening To
I’ve been listening to a lot of 80’s hair bands and New Wave music as of late, and I have been streaming a lot of First Wave and Lithium on Sirius XM. I’ve been listening to a lot of Jazz while I work. I've also been listening to a lot of Wu-Tang, Benny the Butcher, and Conway the Machine.
Thinking About
The apps and services I am using and cross platform compatibility. Process improvement. How much I like my new(ish) iPhone 16 Plus. I wish I had upgraded to a phone with a larger screen much sooner.
However, I'm also more than just a little disappointed with iOS 26. I'm not as pressed about Liquid Glass as some are, but certain icons are blurry unless one uses glass for their icons. Definitely more than a little annoying. I'm also extremely disappointed that Apple is still not allowing third party browser engines on iOS. I'm also disappointed that there is still no true multitasking, such as the ability to view two apps on screen at once. Android has had this feature for so long now, and it's not like the screen on an iPhone 16 Plus is too small for it or the processor is too weak. Get it together Apple.
