Bad news everyone.. I have been informed by an anonymous person in an online game that I am a “stupid n00b”.

I had no idea!?!?! I hope this doesn’t change our relationship! 🎮😱🤯

2018 Running Quest with Apple Watch! How does the apple watch fit into my exercise routine? Hint: I use it a lot! 🏃‍♂️⌚

Microsoft’s Surface Hub 2 is beautifully designed

These are the kinds of products that the big *presence companies should be worried about. Elegant, rapidly updated, and doesn’t requires $$millions in infrastructure.

2018 Running Quest with Apple Watch!

When I started “RunQuest 2018” I knew it was going to have the Apple Watch involved in every step. I have been an everyday Watch user since it was released in 2015. Since the beginning, I used the fitness tracking capabilities, but it wasn’t until this year that I took a serious vow to take fitness seriously in my life. At the beginning of 2018, I set a goal for myself to run a total of 250 miles over the course of the year. Five months in and I am going strong, sitting right at about 120 miles (almost halfway!).

The Apple Watch Series 3 is the first version that I feel is genuinely standalone. It has allowed me to break the death grip I have had on my iPhone when leaving the house. The applications I use on my watch have mostly been the same since January, but I will update things as I go through the year. Mostly this is an easy way to answer the question some people have; “what do you even use your Apple Watch for?”

The Watch I have been using since January is the Apple Watch Series 3 w/cellular in gold.

What Apple Watch Face Do You Use?

I was talking to Rosemary the other day about the Watch Siri watch face, and watch faces in general. It came out that we have a couple faces in our use rotation. I am always curious to see how other people use their watch and what face/complication combinations they use. So, in the spirit of sharing, I have listed below the setups I use and when. Do you use different faces for different activities or do you use the same face for everything?
