Deploying the free App Store apps via VPP seems to be working pretty well on my test machine for everything but iMovie. The smaller iWork apps deployed in a reasonable 10-15 minutes, and even GarageBand was ready in 30 minutes, but a couple hours in there's still no sign of iMovie.

Taking another look at NetNewsWire 6. Requiring Catalina and not having good syncing support at launch were blockers for me originally, but both issues have been resolved over the last couple years.

Went out for a quick walk around campus on my break to enjoy the rain we're getting today. It's chilly enough that I actually contemplated putting my face mask back on. Once winter hits I might leave it on all the time.

Did make a bunch of progress on our stairs yesterday evening and only have two noses (out of seven) left to install for the upper flight now.

Played zero MTGA yesterday for the first time in a long time. Wasn't fully intentional, but I was really tired and fell asleep while getting our youngest three settled for the night. By the time I woke up it was 1am and not time to start playing computer games.

📺Truth Seekers was a fun show (especially for this time of year), it's a real shame that Amazon cancelled it after one season.

📺Just discovered Truth Seekers in time to discover that Amazon cancelled it after only one season back in February. Bizarre that I was unaware of a show featuring Nick Frost and Simon Pegg. Feels like a huge marketing failure on Amazon's part because I check Prime regularly.

Glued a bunch of laminate flooring seams tonight. Tomorrow the resulting risers and treads get permanently attached to the stairs. Progress!

🧙‍♂ If not for all the mythics it requires I would immediately try it myself.

🧙‍♂ I really like the off-meta Azorius Tempo deck that Noriyuki Mori registered for World's. It sucks that all the decks got spoiled 3 days early as that particularly hurts unique builds like this one, but I think it can still do well.
