Watched: The Pitt Season 1 📺
\nThis show captured my attention like nothing else I’ve seen lately. Really A+ television. It’s also given me newfound respect for the work my wife does. She worked in a trauma center for a few years, and is now an emergency department PA. Tough stuff.

I love the new goal arc in Pedometer++. It’s a good reference to the Apple Watch’s fitness rings, but distinct and easier to fit onscreen. But what I like most is the visual of effort required to complete your goal.

\n\n\nI don’t think you can argue that Cook ever did anything for any reason other than what he believed was in the company’s best interest.

[…]
\nAnd, if you agree that Apple itself was Jobs’s greatest product, Cook really is a product person after all.

Jeez, he’s a good writer.

Nick Heer remembered to follow up on the conflicting reports from the Financial Times and Bloomberg about the timing of Cook’s succession. He scores them both as having some accuracy, but FT as more correct in spirit. I concur. Not exactly a ding in Gurman’s armor, but perhaps a scratch.
