Yesterday I took the blade guards off my DJI Mavic Mini drone. (I still have the stickers reminding me how to unfold the arms, since I haven’t done that very often yet; I’ll remove those soon.) 🚁

As mentioned this morning, I got a new drone, a DJI Mavic Mini. It’s a small, lightweight drone with some nice features like GPS and gimbaled camera. Here are a bunch of pictures of the drone, and a few initial pictures taken from it.

With the recent 10th anniversary of the iPad introduction, I was just thinking about my current one, the first generation iPad Pro 12.9″, purchased in November 2015 (along with the Logitech keyboard case).

A great device. Crazy that it’s still going strong; it doesn’t feel slow at all. The keyboard still works well, too. I did use Apple’s keyboard cover for a year or so, but it eventually died.

I do plan to get a new iPad Pro when this year’s models are released; it’s about time. But I’ll probably continue using this one, perhaps as a bedroom reader or something.

Think I have enough screens?  In the back, old iMac showing cameras, new iMac with Xcode, and Jenn’s iMac; in front, iPad Pro with social media (Micro.blog here), old iPad mini with another camera, iPhone Qi charger, and MacBook Pro with OmniFocus notes.

Our clothes washer had multiple issues, so it was time to replace it. We got a new LG washer and matching dryer, plus a cute little second washer that goes underneath the main one like a drawer (and a regular drawer under the dryer).
