Dropbox
I like the '90s raytraced Geocities aesthetic and clearly Dropbox does, too.

Well, I got nerd-sniped by hacker news: Simple note taking from the command line, since lately I've been dumping text in Apple Notes which isn't really suitable for everything.
Kindly email me bugs, not pull requests.
Rock 'n Roll Monday Music

- The Salentino Cuts, by UFO - UFO doing covers, but they're way above a bar band doing it.
- Sticky Fingers Live at the Fonda Theatre, by The Rolling Stones

- Infinite, by Deep Purple
There's several other new albums I've liked this month, just weirds me out to have more than a few new albums per year that I gave a shit about. Not to be that cranky old guy #getoffmylawn, but seriously, Kids Today™ don't listen to real music, so did all us olds just start listening again? Of course, one of those above is dead, and some others are so close you may as well put them in their coffins and start kicking in clods. But Chrissy Hynde's still kicking ass and breaking hearts.

280
Will Twitter at 280 chars suddenly become a bastion of rational, calm, thoughtful speech, celebrating what little good Humanity has in it? Or will people, better able to understand each other, get further enraged and end the world? Let's hope!
Rocky Mountain High not Sierra
Currently I won't upgrade, I have a Fusion Drive which isn't supported by APFS yet. I'm not desperate to upgrade for that, HPFS+ has never hurt me yet, I keep a reasonable backup schedule, my source control is backed up.
I waited until last month to upgrade to Sierra, I was working just fine on Mavericks, and only upgraded because Xcode (UGH!) required it. So my advice is usually very conservative: Wait until you absolutely have to.
That said, there's new stuff that is interesting in High Sierra: VR and new image file formats. So I'll likely upgrade sooner, once I see fusion drives supported and hear no more horror stories.
On a side & musical note, I'm already super tired of the California theme. The other 49 states and hundreds of other countries don't like you that much, Cali.

Autumn
Have not yet found pumpkin spice beer in the grocery, but I'm sure that's coming this week.
