This beauty, a praying mantis that I appeared to have interrupted during its praying, was just hanging out on a wall the other morning. It almost has that look of “Hey, what are you looking at? Can’t you see I’m praying?”

Barb Returns to “Stranger Things”
There were many unanswered questions at the end of “Stranger Things,” a Netflix show I got sucked into binge watching with my wife. At least now we know how Barb is doing, thanks to Jimmy Fallon.
ABC Picks Up Fourth Season of ‘Bachelor in Paradise’
From Variety:
- This is not the first time big news has broken during “Bachelor in Paradise: After Paradise.” Last week, the next “Bachelor” was announced with current “Paradise” cast member Nick Viall becoming ABC’s new leading man.
Thank God.
The Book of Bruce Springsteen
From Vanity Fair…
- “One of the points I’m making in the book is that, whoever you’ve been and wherever you’ve been, it never leaves you,” he said, expanding upon this thought with the most Springsteen-esque metaphor possible: “I always picture it as a car. All your selves are in it. And a new self can get in, but the old selves can’t ever get out. The important thing is, who’s got their hands on the wheel at any given moment?”
Bruce’s book, Born to Run, comes out the end of September. The media blitz about the book is beginning, and articles like this one just make me more excited for its arrival.
What to Expect From Apple’s September 7 Event
Via MacRumors:
- We’re all eager to see new Macs, especially the rumored MacBook Pro that features a major design overhaul with an OLED function bar, but unfortunately, refreshed Macs are not expected at the September 7 event.
The MacBook Pro event is really the one I’m looking forward to.
- Multiple reputable sources have said the event will focus on the iPhone and Apple Watch 2, with Macs to come later in the year, perhaps as soon as October.
Even though there won’t be new MacBook Pros announced (probably, unless there is “one more thing”), it’s always fun seeing what new toys Apple has coming out, even if the Internet tends to ruin the surprises.
No More Pokemon Go?
On a walk the other day I noticed nature’s reality was cooler than augmented reality, if only because Pokemon Go just keeps giving me the same stuff day after day. It might be time to pay attention to the world around me when I go for walks instead of my virtual world on my iPhone.
