This is all gonna work out just fine… “When I land in my plane, privately, I use a system from another country because...I won't tell you what country... because the captain says this system is so bad, it's so obsolete, that we can't have that.” apple.news/Aa4NCCfrjT2K... #DunningKrugerEffect

"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all." Arthur C. Clarke

Flew our club bird for the first time in way too long. Got recurrent, and was reminded how fun flying like this can be. Flying at the airline is truly great, it’s like being part of a world class orchestra. This kind of flying is like playing jazz. (Photo credit: M. Miley)

New #pilotwatch, doing piloty things. While I still very much like my #AppleWatch as my daily driver, it’s super fun to have something this cool to wear when I go to work. It’s a reissue of a prototype which was worn on the Moon. The band is a reproduction of the strap worn in space. #watches

My wife, who worked in #finance (brokerage operations), has struggled to get back to work after taking a break when our 2nd child came along… …is in the other room on the phone with a recruiter right now. I’m really proud of her, no matter what happens next.
