1. The virtual keyboard shows lower case letters when you’re entering in lowercase.  Yay!
2. Low power mode: the OS turns off or tones down some of the expense battery consuming functionality.  Don’t know yet how effective this is, but anything is an improvement over involuntarily burning through battery charge until the phone arbitrarily quits.
3. We still can’t get rid of built in apps.  I’m not buying an Apple watch, Apple!  I don’t need your mandatory app.

I appreciated this article on which books are worth reading.  The premise is that nobody should be reading “business card books” which tout the author’s credibility, books that aren’t long enough to be worth a book, and actually good books.

I don’t agree that even most business books fall neatly into one of these categories, but I do appreciate the list of “good books”:

“MASTERY” by Robert Greene
“BOLD” by Peter Diamondis and Steven Kotler
“OUTLIERS” by Malcolm Gladwell
“WHERE GOOD IDEAS COME FROM” by Steven Johnson
“MAN’S SEARCH FOR MEANING” by Victor Frankl
“BORN STANDING UP” by Steve Martin
“ZERO TO ONE” by Peter Thiel
“QUIET” by Susan Cain
“ANTIFRAGILE” by Nassim Taleb
“MINDSET” by Carol Dweck

I’m starting with Nassim Taleb’s book: he seems to have dozens of quotable reference in every book he’s written.

I’ve had numerous issues with convincing my Mac Pro 1,1 to sleep, and almost equal problems keeping it from sleeping when it’s in the middle of doing work I actually want done.

Apple’s site is quite helpful here, when I tried everything on the list.  I suspect that Bluetooth and/or network waking is the issue.
