Dear Friends,

The lilacs are in full bloom at my house and the sweet smell permeates the air. My giant arctic kiwi plant has sort of crushed my rebar arbor but the huge plant seems to be able to stand on its own. I got the rototiller out and started churning up a winter’s harvest of rocks, breaking a shear pin in the process. But the job got done and we’re all ready to plant our garden.

Jezebel seems to like Vermont but she is taking too much advantage of the free range boonies, and so we now have to keep her on leash or stay with her constantly or she will go too far out on an adventure. When she is in the living room she is either snoring on the couch or watching TV with us. She still barks at any dog that she sees on the TV and even barked at herself while we were mirroring in order to choose a picture to send to an artist who will immortalize her and Max in a stained glass piece.

Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference starts on Monday and the Keynote will be at 1PM eastern time. We are all anxious to see the new roadmap and as usual, I will probably start running a new beta of Apple software shortly after the event. While it is unusual for Apple to introduce hardware at this software conference, it has been done. We will bring you all the details next week!

This week’s Kibbles & Bytes Exclusive features the CTO 12-inch MacBook. These units all feature the 1.3GhZ m7 processor, 8GB of ram and a big 512GB SSD drive. We only have a couple of each color so this exclusive is strictly while supplies last. This custom configuration normally sells for $1649.99 but this week only while supply lasts you can get one for $100 off at $1549.99! We have a few units in Gold, Silver or Space Gray.
