    Apple Announces "Spring Loaded" Event

    Apple

    Today, Apple announced that they will be holding a "Spring Loaded" event. The event will be streamed on April 20th at 10 am Pacific Time. The invitation states "Please join us for a special Apple Event from Apple Park." This makes me think that it will be an event similar to the fall events.

    While there has been speculation that there would be an event this spring, it looks like Siri let it slip that it was going to be next Tuesday. Here is a screenshot of Siri's response my Mac, as well as another one from my iPhone, when I asked "Siri, when is the next Apple Event".

    Response from Siri on a Mac when asking "When is the next Apple Event". The response was ""The special event is on Tuesday, April 20, at Apple Park in Cupertino, CA. You can get all of the details on Apple.com"Response from Siri on an iPhone when asking "When is the next Apple Event". The response was ""The special event is on Tuesday, April 20, at Apple Park in Cupertino, CA. You can get all of the details on Apple.com"

    Siri's response is "The special event is on Tuesday, April 20, at Apple Park in Cupertino, CA. You can get all of the details on Apple.com". As is the case with other Apple events I will post my predictions for what I think we will see at the event, so stay tuned for that.

    Reading List for March 2021

    In a continuation of my monthly recap of what I have read, or more practically, listened to; at least in terms of books. You can review the lists from January or February. With it being the very beginning of April, it is time to provide last month's list with the items that I have listened to. As is the case for most of my books and podcasts, I listened to most of these at 2x or possibly even slightly faster.

    Unlike January and February, I did not listen to nearly as many books in March. Over the course of the month of March, I managed to listen to 12 different titles. Of these 3 were titles that I listened to for the first time. Not listening to as many books makes a lot of sense given that the first three titles total over 110 hours of listening. I am guessing that I might listen to about the same number of items in April as much, or something similar. It all depends on how the month goes.
