Took Google AI Studio for a spin, used the prompt that's been flying around.
Absolutely astonishing (see pic).
Not sure what to make of this. EVERYTHING in the image was from Gemini. All done from a single image of my cat.
Crazy.

Press and hold the watch face on your Apple Watch and you'll hit the "slide to change your watch face" interface.
The time will change to 10:09 (see pic).
An aesthetic decision, not to be confused with Steve Jobs' edict to set watches to 9:41, the time when the first iPhone was announced.

Love this image of the iPhone Air, open, revealing the "mostly battery" in the thin part strategy.

My first drawing, using Procreate on my new iPad and Apple Pencil Pro.
Took me 3 weeks. Kind of proud of this.
Big thanks to @settern.bsky.social who inspired me to learn how to draw those many years ago.

Now that Blood Oxygen app has returned to the watchOS beta, took it for a spin.
The results being exported to the paired iPhone is not nothing. I found it hard to find. Had to navigate to the Health App, dig around until I found it.
How about sending me a notification with the results?

Amazing event last night:
- They played Star Wars on an outdoor screen, BUT
- Absolutely NO MUSIC
- Instead, the National Symphony Orchestra played all the music LIVE.
Absolutely incredible. Here's a taste...

Flick it!!!
The watchOS 26 flick gesture works well (see attached).
Dismisses whatever I bring up, even if it's not a notification. Distinctive enough a gesture that I have yet to accidentally trigger it.

Pretty cool: Before the Home Run Derby, each player signs all the balls they will hit.
See the pic below for an example. That one was hit by "Big Dumper" Cal Raleigh, with his jersey number, 29.

Yet another iOS 26 Lock Screen.
Just a small thing, but I really love the effect of the time being rendered in liquid glass, hidden by part of the image, and yet perfectly readable.
Thoughtful detail.

That's an ambient noise microphone. Part of the process of filtering out background noise for calls and recording.

Running watchOS 26 beta, getting new battery warnings, at 50% and 35%, telling me my battery usage is unusual.
But this one (see pic) came up this morning, when my watch was 100%, fresh off the charger.
Anyone else seeing this?
