I made a simple Keynote theme for presenters (like pastors, teachers) who may need to frequently put together a slide deck that can work in multiple formats (in-person projection, livestream PiP, off-stage TVs, etc). Very niche market, but if you need it…you need it.
I’m starting something new for those connected to church life and leadership — Desk of Matt. Just getting going, but it’s officially lifting off.
Baseball Day Two.
Baseball Day One.
Pizza night in Waco.
Homestead Heritage in Waco, TX.
A little bit of time in Waco, TX this week.
It’s been a busy few weeks of life for us, but we’ve managed to squeeze in some fun times as well. This was from a nice Sunday lunch at a local spot. Tomorrow, we’re taking the kids on a week long road trip to relax and catch some baseball games.
I’d love to find an Apple Extended Keyboard II in good working condition.

Weekly Roundup 9 - Apple Betas, Email Changes Reverted, Summer Wallet
New Apple beta features, the challenges of migrating back to iCloud Mail from Gmail, and a seasonal switch to a different wallet due to summer conditions.
I think it’s fun to install first developer betas on primary devices.
One of the biggest frustrations I have with Gmail is that it doesn’t mark archived messages as read. Fortunately, there is a very easy way to script and automate that. If you’re interested in implementing, it’s simply a copy/paste solution.
Some more items added to Gear for Sale including ModRetro Chromatic 1st Editions and some women’s apparel (skorts, skirt, shorts from my wife).
I wrote about migrating between email clients, something I’ve done too many times. A few years ago, one of those migrations resulted in a large amount of duplicate email. Manually removing duplicates is not worth it. But surely there is an app/service/script that can do this for me? Surely? Right?!

After numerous email changes, a switch back to Gmail was made for better integrations. And a celebration of 12 years of marriage with a relaxing evening out.
It’s our 12th wedding anniversary!
