WWW: Wit, Wisdom, Wordplay - What Apple Roadmap? - IMRAN™ I am a citizen of MacWorld, MacUser, MacLover, and MacAddict in every MacWeek since 1984, if you recall the great legacy Mac magazines' references. I have remained loyal to the Mac even though I love working at Microsoft. (Ironically, in Pakistan I also became a Microsoft user in 1985 or so, when it released Mac software!) So, this comment which I posted on a Mac news item in March 2023 or so was not based on where I work. It expressed how frustrated I feel as a MacOS user, especially as a Mac desktop user, for literally 40 years. Like many others, I feel that Apple has become financially incredibly successful but less innovative under the current management. The worst-ever Mac model I ever bought was around 1991, two terribly underpowered Mac II LC II desktops. The poor OS could not even finish redrawing a folder window if you had a few hundred items saved in a folder which you double clicked on! You literally would have had to do a hard reboot, and start from scratch -- because it would go into that process right on boot-up trying to open previously open windows! Fast forward nearly four decades -- and that dishonor of being the worst current Mac now belongs to the barely-usable base-model Mac Mini, IMHO. To be fair, every Mac I ever bought has been the toppest-mostest-ofest-thest-linest. You get the idea. Then, why did I get this low end model? Because, thanks to terrible product management, it was the only one Apple was selling in its stores when I had to get one in an emergency. (What emergency - my top of the line MacBook Pro had gone for warranty repairs a SECOND time for more than 2 weeks! Talk about a decline in reliability also.) I do not expect the most expensive models to be in stock at all times at any company's stores. But to have the lowest, worst performing, so-called "unified memory" jar of molasses, no-expansion-possible, base model as the only one at all stores even within a 100 miles was just poor product management, or understanding of one's own platform, IMHO. Sadly, that lack of anything exciting on the original computer which hooked me, the Mac desktop, remains true even now. That is more than one year after I made the snide comment below. What do you think? Doesn't the Mac desktop line need some Apple love .... and innovation? © 2023-2024 IMRAN™ #Apple #IMRAN #Microsoft #innovation #CustomerExperience #productmanagement #brands #branding #quality #UserExperience #performance #retail #memories #history #PakistanWWW: Wit, Wisdom, Wordplay - What Apple Roadmap? - IMRAN™ I am a citizen of MacWorld, MacUser, MacLover, and MacAddict in every MacWeek since 1984, if you recall the great legacy Mac magazines' references.

When ‘Stunning’ Falls Short: A Tampa Bay Florida Sunset at Apollo Beach - IMRAN™ I captured six handheld photos of this early-May 2024 sunset with the Nikon D850. In the first frame, a partial image of a pelican appears next to my name watermark—marked (drum roll) above the water on the right. The photo-stitching software had to handle different exposures from the various frames, resulting in some color banding where they overlap. Yet, regardless of perspective, the word ‘stunning’ hardly does justice to this sunset and the many others I’ve been fortunate to capture at my home on Tampa Bay.

Hope Inspiring Resplendent Roses & Blossoms At Blessed Home Long Island, New York, Day Before My Birthday 2012 - IMRAN™ A dozen years ago before I penned these words in 2024, the rose bushes at my blessed home on Long Island, New York, were in full, glorious bloom. It was the early summer of 2012, the day before my 50th birthday. The tornadoes and droughts of total economic meltdown, brought on by the policies of Republican President George W. Bush which enriched the super-wealthy with one trillion dollars of tax cuts, had wreaked havoc on my life as on millions of ordinary individuals, families, and entire towns. The next few years were spent on surviving, recovering, and rebuilding. Even then it was a rocky road. By the time 2012 rolled in, after a labyrinthine journey of heart-sinking troughs, fleeting peaks, and unexpected drops into new valleys, life began to hint at a promising change ahead. I had to remind myself that life’s most exquisite blooms often come accompanied by the piercing thorns of reality. The key is to persistently tend to one’s garden of dreams, rooting it in unshakeable faith, nurturing it with the water of hope, showering it with the rain of love, fortifying it with the grains of gratitude, and ceaselessly illuminating it with the lights of confidence, and perseverance. No matter the adversities you face, remember, they are but temporary. You possess the strength to surmount them. Never let go of your dreams. Never relinquish your authentic self. Within you lies an indomitable spirit. You are capable of blooming despite the thorns.

A Dog's Life: Dogs In Rearview Mirrors Are Closer (To Our Hearts) Than They Appear - IMRAN™

Kennedy, my precious German Shepherd Dog, taught me so much about life. 

We all have to face the last sunset of our lives one day. We can only hope to learn from our dogs. To remain stoic and brave, to retain our dignity and smile, and be grateful for all the adventures on the roads of life we shared. 

No matter how far back in the rearview mirrors of cars or memories of life our precious dogs seem, they are forever closer to our hearts than they appear, even when they are gone.

 Making Music & Memories At Columbia University Manhattan New York Apartment 35 Years Ago Today - IMRAN™

Some things never change. My lack of talent in learning to play music. My taking selfies. My still having this necktie that my late beloved mom had bought for me 40 years ago! 

My Yamaha B200 synth keyboard. Even my Atari ST computer from the 1980s. And that Columbia Business School textbook. It is among ALL my books from that time I still retain. They are all still at my blessed home on Long Island, New York.

Being a Gemini, and wanting two of everything, has not changed. You can see I had two computers even in 1989, and two monitors.  Heck, you can even see two of me, if you see my reflection in one of the monitors, which I still have. The monitor. I am sure I do not have that same reflection anymore, but I have a lot more reflections on life! 

I do take care of my things. Even that wall poster from the  New York City Tourism + Conventions' “I ❤️ New York” tourism promotion campaign, titled “New York Is Music”, from 1989 is still intact in Pakistan. My mom had it framed for me. 

What did change is clearly me having far more fat and far less hair. But I remain blessed and grateful for an incredible journey. No one could have lived a fuller life than I have, from the day I was born until today - and God willing on every day - until it will be time for the grand finale of my life, when my music must fade out. Thank you for all the love all along the way.

Ever Worse Managed Southwest Airlines Sends Promo Emails Near End Of Offer Period - IMRAN™ Sends Promo Emails Near End Of Offer Period - IMRAN™ In general, I’m not a fan of hedge funds or corporate raider investor groups taking over companies. Nothing good usually comes out of it for the target company, its employees, or customers. However, I was happy to hear that one such group, Elliott Investment Management L.P., just acquired a massive stake in Southwest Airlines. The group is focused on removing the incompetent CEO and self-serving board at Southwest. On those people’s watch, I’ve gone from once loving Southwest Airlines to despising it. They turned a customer-service focused institution into a fiasco-addled, screwups-riddled, nightmare customer-experiences airline. That applies to everything from their planes, to the cramped seats, outdated systems, and even to mismanaged promotional offers. Here’s one example from literally right now. They’re running a promotional campaign from June 10-13. When did they send out the email? June 12! The date is even included in their email text, which is the day before the 50% promo ends.

Tiara Condo Singer Island Former Florida Second Home Visit After 8 Years, 12 Years Ago - IMRAN™

Tiara Condo Singer Island Former Florida Second Home Visit After 8 Years, 12 Years Ago - IMRAN™

In my 35 years of American life, I have been blessed to have lived in Florida in parallel for about 20 of those years. My first "second home" in Florida was at this incredible building called Tiara Condo on the Atlantic Ocean, on Singer Island. I purchased it in 2003.

My condo was just a few floors below the rooftop spaceship like circular wraparound private restaurant and club. I sold it in 2004 and left early morning July 4th, 2004. I drove to Atlanta to be on CNN live that afternoon. And then drove on back to my New York home. 

Soon after I sold, the Tiara was devastated by two separate hurricanes. A lot of people lost everything they had in those incidents. It took years to rebuild. But I was living and working in Miami in those years. 

Eight years after I sold, I was blessed to be looking to buy another second-home. During that 2012 two-three months of driving every mile of Florida coastline, looking at possible places.

Obviously, my beloved Tiara condo was one of the places on that list. So, I was back there looking at mine, and other, condos. I also stuck around until dusk to experience that magic I loved at the start of this century. 

I made this short video of the building, from the wide beach outside it. The magical Atlantic Ocean colors were still visible in the near-dark conditions. The pink clouds above were beautiful. Ironically, you can see the lights on in the condo I so loved.

Much that I loved the place and that feeling, the seller's asking price of $650,000 for a 2-bedroom condo did not make sense to me. So, I left one more time. Maybe I will return another day.

A dozen years after my visit, and a full 20 years after I sold my condo, I am sharing these magical memories and story. I hope you find it touching and inspiring.

Vivid Sunset On Tampa Bay At Apollo Beach Home January 2023 - IMRAN™ Even when it is an old Nikon pocket camera, and one of their lousier models, the CoolPix 6200, Tampa Bay, Florida sunsets can still come through amazing.

3 Bird Formation Flying Over Stunning Sunset Tampa Bay Florida - IMRAN™ (SOOC Panorama) Exactly 5 years ago today. Three birds flying in a straight arrow like formation from Ruskin towards eastern parts of Florida caught my attention. It was the first of June. I was mesmerized by this stunning sunset unfolding in front of me. As I snapped away with the Nikon D850, I was able to capture the 15 handheld photographs to compose this absolutely unedited panorama. I did add my name tag and auto-filled the white space at the top and bottom edge where stitching of handheld photos can leave gaps. Enjoy!

Beautiful Butterfly Bush Butterfly Bokeh Background (Summer 2010 Long Island, NY Home) - IMRAN™ It was a hot summer's day in late July 2010 at my blessed home on Long Island in New York. The barely 12 inches tall butterfly bushes I had planted in 1995 had grown into 12 feet tall plants at my back decks. They really are magnets for butterflies. On some days it seems like a computer generated scene, when hundreds of these beautiful creatures are all over the plants. I captured this perfectly positioned butterfly 14 summers ago, with the Nikon D300 I still use. The summer sunlight glow on some elements vs the slightly darker shaded areas in the background made the scene even more magical. © 2010-2024 IMRAN™ #bokeh, #Bushes, #butterflies, #Butterfly, #D300, #EastPatchogue, #flowers, #green, #Home, #IMRAN, #LongIsland, #memories, #Nature, #Nikon, #Patchogue, #radiant, #summerBeautiful Butterfly Bush Butterfly Bokeh Background (Summer 2010 Long Island, NY Home) - IMRAN™ It was a hot summer's day in late July 2010 at my blessed home on Long Island in New York.

A Dog's Life: Action Movie Star Dog Kennedy & IMRAN WICK(3D Sense Of Humor) - IMRAN™ I had actually enjoyed John Wick 3 a lot more than the first two movies, despite the violence being a little too central to the movie. But my enjoyment of the movie was likely increased by the active, and I mean active, ball-busting (biting?), role two German Shepherd type Belgian Malinois Dogs play in the action sequences. But the coolest thing to me was the badass poster photo of Keanu Reeves and Halle Barry in the desert with the two dogs. I could not arrange for a sexy co-star and a second dog, but I really wanted to spoof the poster with my own version with Kennedy. Since a visit to a desert location was not practical, we decided to do the shoot right outside the home in Apollo Beach, Florida. It also would have taken a year for my hair to grow to Keanu's hair length. It would also have taken minus 20 years for my stubble to be dark as it was in the past. Lacking a time machine, and feeling certain that Keanu Reeves will not feel his chance of getting the next movie are threatened by me, this is the movie poster for.... IMRAN WICK(3D Sense Of Humor). My multi-talented handyman took some great shots with my Nikon D850. In this one Kennedy's and my legs are caught in matching mid-stride and he looks sufficiently menacing (although he was actually smiling thinking we were going for a drive). © 2019-2024 IMRAN™A Dog's Life: Action Movie Star Dog Kennedy & IMRAN WICK(3D Sense Of Humor) - IMRAN™ I had actually enjoyed John Wick 3 a lot more than the first two movies, despite the violence being a little too central to the movie.

Dodged Dogged Double Vision Double Vision - IMRAN™

Exactly five years ago today. The forever smiling Kennedy in the back. Fast-growing K2 in front had been with us a full five weeks. He was just 13 weeks old in this photo. 

Both German Shepherds were waiting as I was bringing them a treat. They watched me take this photo of them with my own selfie reflection in the sliding door. 

The doubled title words play on there actually being a dual reflection in the double-paned glass. I had to use high contrast to avoid it looking too much like a shaky camera photo.

Silly Amazon Site Error Highlights Future Vision That 3DP+JITM+RTD= MobRet - IMRAN™

The magical powers of Amazon, or the weakness of poor UX CX software systems quality assurance? Amazon dog food delivery is Available TODAY -- even though the product is Not Available. Maybe the Amazon trucks have mini-factories to manufacture dog food en route to making a delivery. 

In all seriousness, for several years I have described to clients how such a blend of mobile 3D printing, just-in-time manufacturing, and real-time-deliveries will enable the reality of such Customized Mobile Retail sooner than we expect. 

Human foods are likely among the first use-cases that will go mainstream. The irony, that basically the centuries old street food vendors concept at a far more flexible and gigantic scale is one of the next big things. What else do you think such convergences will create opportunities for?

Riley is a really sweet and super fast running labradoodle, whom my dogs never could catch in a race. This April (2024) as we were leaving for a walk, K2 saw Riley sitting looking at him from his driveway.

A Dog’s Life: Kennedy Esq. GSD & His Love For Other Animals - IMRAN™ In the first few months of my getting Kennedy as a gift, my precious rescue German Shepherd Dog, I walked 25000 steps daily (12.1 miles max one day for me) with him. Until the Florida summer and time constraints made that unsustainable, it became about 10,000 daily steps on average since then. This photo of Kennedy and the bunny just casually watching each other was taken on May 10, 2019. That was exactly 5 years ago from my writing these lines tonight. His care for other animals was mind blowing. He was clearly a young GSD between 3-5 years old then. He loved chasing squirrels up into trees. But then one night during our walk he found a dazed & confused squirrel in the middle of the street. It had likely struck the side of car tyre so it wasn’t bleeding or injured, but in shock. By the time I realized what it was, there was no time to pull in the retractable leash Kennedy was on. I was worried the alpha male predator in him would rip the poor small creature (as he did to a toy squirrel the first night I had him!). Instead, I was stunned as Kennedy nuzzled the shocked and now doubly-surprised squirrel to my neighbor’s grass on the side of the street! We stood for a few minutes watching. Then, sure enough, the little animal got back to its full senses and successfully ran off into the night. Kennedy just had this look of joy on his face as he looked up at me.

GSD & His Love For Other Animals - IMRAN™ In the first few months of my getting Kennedy as a gift, my precious rescue German Shepherd Dog, I walked 25000 steps daily (12.1 miles max one day for me) with him.

White Roses At White House Nearing 10 Feet Height - IMRAN™ White roses, at my blessed White House in Apollo Beach, are already at 9 feet. The even more fragrant red ones on the other side of the house hit 10 feet height previously despite much less direct sunlight there. Looking forward to these going up to the ten feet mark too by summer, God willing. © 2024 IMRAN™ #IMRAN #roses #plants #gardening #WhiteHouse #flowers #Florida #ApolloBeach #spring #natureWhite Roses At White House Nearing 10 Feet Height - IMRAN™ White roses, at my blessed White House in Apollo Beach, are already at 9 feet.

My German Shepherd Dog K2 = Kangaroo Too - IMRAN™ I took this photo exactly 3 years ago, when my German Shepherd puppy was 14 months old and had been with me for one full year. He and Kennedy were back from a lot of playtime, and clearly tired. As I clicked the photo of his pose, I realized his name K2 (to honor the K2 mountain in Pakistan and as K#2 after my first GSD in USA, Kennedy) also could stand for “He’s a Kangaroo Too!” © 2021-2024 IMRAN™ #IMRAN #GSD #GermanShepherdDog #puppy #dogs #humor #kangaroo #animals #memoriesMy German Shepherd Dog K2 = Kangaroo Too - IMRAN™ I took this photo exactly 3 years ago, when my German Shepherd puppy was 14 months old and had been with me for one full year.
