A review of the Google Pixel 2 XL and Android 8.1 by a longtime iPhone user

Lazy dinner.

Finally updated to macOS 10.12.6. Debating the upgrade to High Sierra this weekend.

For those that were having issues getting to my site earlier please try again. I had to update my DNS settings this morning. Bad timing.

It looks like I'll be needing to get off of Google Drive/Photos for my personal account. They simply won't provide any support. And I don't know why I would pay monthly for a service that won't give any support at all.

My Feedbin trial has expired. I didn't see any reason to use it over Feedly. If I'm missing anything, please let me know.

Every time I abbreviate Micro.blog as M.b I hear Regina George yell "Stop trying to make fetch happen!"

Forgot to post that I finished Smarter Faster Better: The Secrets to Being Productive in Life and Business ⭐⭐⭐ , Vertical: The Follow-up to Sideways ⭐ (didn't finish), and Intensity by Dean Koontz ⭐⭐⭐⭐. 📚

Wednesday, 31 December 1969

Finished writing and editing (using paper!) my Google Pixel 2 XL and Android review. I just need to shoot a photo or two and I'll publish it.

Gentle reminder to back up everything as often as you can. And don't trust automation. Follow-up on it from time-to-time to be sure you have everything. This includes your computer, your mobile devices, music and photo libraries, web sites, uploads to those sites, etc.

Pretty upset with Dreamhost today. The Watercolor Gallery has been nearly unreachable all day today.

I have no desire to own a HomePod. I think Siri would drive me bananas.

Spent much of the day reading. 📚

If you're on Micro.blog and into art, watercolor, and inspiring interviews and videos, you can follow @h2ocolor on Micro.blog. Also, of course, Twitter and Facebook. Oh, and RSS.

Super, super happy to have broken the 17-month hiatus of The Watercolor Gallery site with this featured portrait set of the cast of Hidden Figures by the crazy talented Stella Blu. Expect a lot more about The Watercolor Gallery in the coming weeks and months.

Space X just did a static fire of Falcon Heavy. Fast-forward to 16 minutes.

Podcatchers should be more interoperable like CMSs, feed readers, browsers already are. Tough to move from one to another. Perhaps we need a JSON Feed-like spec to be written to allow for this?

Wednesday, 24 January 2018

I've decided to use all of my skills on a single project. This means making the hard decision to cut all other projects I have going currently and mentally put them in the garbage can. It won't be easy, but I think it will be worth it. Stay tuned.

Tuesday, 23 January 2018

Very happy for Eliza and all Eagles fans.

Monday, 22 January 2018

Had an incredible day yesterday visiting the Berwick Brewing Company, O'Donnell Winery, and Three Dogs Vino. It was nice to visit some new-for-us places in our area. Worth the drive.

I usually don't post to my blog on the weekends. But I want that Micro.blog 30-day pin.

I'd be totally OK seeing a 📸 icon on Micro.blog's Discover page that is a collection of all images posted.

I'm using the iPad a little less since getting the Pixel 2 XL. I have a draft of my review written - look for it early next week.

Brilliant. Nintendogs: Labo.

A few weeks in and I'm just starting to utilize the convenient, always visible, back button on Android. Super useful and reachable.

I made a few nips and tucks to my image layout. Much nicer index. More like an Instagram or Flickr profile now.

Wishing I could try out Evergreen's latest build but I'm not on High Sierra yet. Maybe I'll set aside a day this weekend to upgrade.

Micro Monday - January 15, 2018: Scott McNulty

Monday, 15 January 2018

If Tapbots made a Tweetbot clone for Micro.blog, like they did for App.net, I'd pay $20.00 again for it easy.

Wednesday, 31 December 1969

Finally opened a support thread in Google's Photos forum. I still have tens of thousands of photos missing in Google Photos and my storage meter only shows 55GB used when it should read over 400GB used. I hope Google answers.

Wednesday, 31 December 1969

After a few unintentional weeks off from reading books I dived back into one last night. Felt good. I'd like to read 24 books this year. I think I read about 16 last year. 📚

Social media in 2018:

  • Facebook - where we unwittingly share fake articles
  • Snapchat - where we privately video chat w/ squeaky voices
  • Twitter - where we retweet our dislike of "other people"
  • Instagram 🎉 - where we share our best photos, work, motivations, recipes

Wonder why IG is winning? 🤔

Friday, 12 January 2018

Something I missed in this post is that the Google Play Store has an entire section for these (and many other) apps. So the list is longer than what is just in that blog post.

An update via Android (audio)

Wednesday, 10 January 2018

I'm reading many reports about Google Photos and missing images. I uploaded 300GB+ there last week, now it says I only have 55GB uploaded. Something is up. Anyone else?

Wednesday, 10 January 2018

Nice overview and review of the Google Pixel line from YouTube channel TechMeOut. (I'd use her name but I cannot find it anywhere. I'm guessing that is on purpose.)

Wednesday, 10 January 2018

Prediction, lots of switchers this year. From iOS to Android. From macOS to Windows 10 w/ WSL.

Not because Apple is doing anything bad, necessarily, but because Google and Microsoft (and others) have caught up on hardware/software. Tighter race, w more options than ever.

CES is this week. So expect to see a lot of products that you'll never own. This mobile-phone powered laptop looks interesting. For my thinking on this direction read this.

Tuesday, 9 January 2018

I still haven't updated to macOS High Sierra and I have no plans to. In fact, I've disabled my notifications for the upgrade.

Micro Monday - January 8, 2018: Mike Haynes

Monday, 8 January 2018

DJI should rescue GoPro. GoPro has a world-recognized brand, perhaps even larger than DJIs, and they could easily leverage that as well as many of GoPro's patents in their products. There is still a market for many of GoPro's products.

Monday, 8 January 2018

I will need a month-long retreat to write the review of the Google Pixel 2 XL, Android 8.1, and all of the apps and services in that ecosystem the way I'd like to. So I'll just have to settle for what I can get done in the time I do have.

Micro.blog needs a native Android app pronto.

Thursday, 4 January 2018

Today: two proposals, 8 social videos, some code, app submission for review, designing a new API, began gathering data for a short film, a brand-new video concept, type setting, and created a bunch of web site content. All of these were for different clients.

Thursday, 4 January 2018

I love software updates.

Thursday, 4 January 2018

Culled many feeds from my Feedly list. Probably going to yank a few more before venturing out to find new inspiration. I want nothing but doers, makers, creators, artisans, artists in 2018.
