Started reading: Apple in China by Patrick McGee 📚

Finally available from my library (via Libby). Let’s see if all the positive reviews hold up. (Based on the prologue, they will.)

Finished reading: Born to Run by Christopher McDougall 📚

Holy smokes, what a book! Both the story and science were each captivating. Definitely got me fired up for running, and getting back into barefoot shoes. 👍👍

Got in a few laps at Pitchoff Right and Pitchoff Quarry this afternoon with @bbrianandersonn. As @ianosteyee1 put it, conditions aren’t great but they are passable — and certainly passable enough for a good time! Got a @taipan_man and Lu... https://jb.heydingus.net/2025/11/30/got-in-a-few-laps.html

Finished reading: Dirtbag Billionaire by David Gelles 📚

Though it perhaps lionizes Chouinard and glosses over some of his distasteful qualities more than necessary, this book gave me way more appreciation for Patago... https://jb.heydingus.net/2025/11/27/finished-reading-dirtbag-billionaire-by.html

You’ve heard a lot about Tom from us over the last year. Let us just say that it was an honor to be trusted by him along his 46er journey, and we can’t wait for the next one. Thanks, Tom! 🙌

I’ve long been fascinated by Yvon Chouinard’s story from, well, dirtbag climber to luminary billionaire who started Patagonia and what would become Black Diamond.

No Bingo for me, but a fun trip down memory lane from BasicAppleGuy. Totally forgot about the iPod nano Tubes!

McDonald’s isn’t wasting any time in phasing out the penny here in the U.S. I actually snapped this photo at the drive-through a couple days ago, before we stopped minting pennies:

It’s when you’re least expecting it, that’s when they getcha! 😆 Glad to see it’s got some traction — hopefully leads to more folks taking control of their spot on the web.

Today marks one year since my first client took a chance on Onward Mountain Guides as a brand-new guide service and we climbed two mountains together. Since then, we’ve hiked 40 peaks together, and I couldn’t be more grateful to ... https://jb.heydingus.net/2025/11/05/today-marks-one-year-since.html

Kevin brought so much enthusiasm to his time rock climbing with us and left the day itching for more! We talked about getting his kids into so that climbing can be a family adventure for them.

As I told @bigbrando66 when he and the guys were here, it’s so special to see friends or family do these outdoor adventures together.

Tom has set up shop in Lake Placid for the next few weeks to knock out the last of his ADK High Peaks. We kicked off his hiking residency with a trip up Mt.

That’s so kind of you to say, @danzelikman! It was a joy to get out climbing with you. And yes — can’t wait to show you the ropes on ice! 🙌

We work very hard to make sure our clients have a great experience. From first contact through hugs and high fives goodbye, you’re due the best. 😁

I love this business card design, and appreciate its simplicity every time it makes the rounds on social media. It highlights the importance of consistent branding. Email, website, and social handles — all in sync.

I’m learning about too many bad things on the internet. Three strikes and you’re out. I should take a break.

Yup, it’s time that Apple no longer be the sole gatekeeper for apps on iOS. Consider me in the pro sideloading camp.
