Apple Keynote September 2017
Yesterday Apple announced a slew of new products in their keynote presentation at the Steve Jobs Theater. This is what stood out to me. The Apple TV 4K and iPhone X got my attention for their potential impact on the video on demand market that I work in.

👨🌾 Garden Pergola
We finished our garden pergola! It has been a long time coming. We purchased the 12'x12' pergola as a kit from Costco in March 2016. Brought the kit home and stored the 3 giant boxes in the carport along the Rodeo Gulch Creek at the bottom of our land. Were it remained for a year…
