the mobile store dude said he was surprised they had two. “they go quick.”</p><p>my first impressions:</p><p>sound quality is awesome ( thought that’s not why i bought them ).</p><p>i mostly wear earbuds while running and it’s my primary use case. regular apple earbuds don’t stay in my ears without <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Yurbuds-4330151848-Earbud-Covers/dp/B00A8ML9S2">yurbuds</a> and i was optimistic the AirPods would fit more snugly in my ear canal. unfortunately, while i haven’t ran with them in yet, i have serious doubts they will stay in my ears without resorting to covers ( or other <a href="https://lifehacker.com/keep-your-airpods-in-your-ears-with-this-hack-1821187020”>hacks</a> ). so that’s a big bummer since it’s the main reason i bought them and i was hoping to not have to deal with dealing with silicone covers ( which also prevents “in ear detection” from working ). i could be wrong about them falling out while running so i’ll report back more after i run, but they loosen in my ear after vigorous head shaking so i’m doubtful they’ll stay in. hope i’m wrong.</p><p>on the plus side they are far more comfortable than regular apple earbuds. after a short amount of time discovered it was easy to forget they were even in my ears!</p><p>a problem i didn’t know i would have after tasking the freedom of walking around listening to podcasts or whatever without my phone at hand – volume control ( this is also important while running and the phone is in an armband )! you can control volume with by <a href="http://appleinsider.com/articles/17/02/09/quickly-adjust-airpods-volume-by-percentage-and-check-listening-levels-with-siri">double tapping on the AirPod and using siri commands</a> but that’s somewhat clunky and dorky and not something i want to do in public. turns out that if you have an <a href="https://www.apple.com/watch/">apple watch</a> ( yes, i have one. i know, whatever. i was pretty sure i didn’t want or need an apple watch until kris bought me one for christmas and i realized – much to my surprise – that i was wrong ) you can control AirPods volume <a href="https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7982869">with the crown while in the Now Playing app</a>. it’s not a perfect user experience but it’s much easier to twist the apple watch crown to turn volume as opposed to double tapping on the AirPod and hoping siri figures out you’re trying to ask to set volume to 62%.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://snowdeal.org/2018/02/somewhat-brief-thoughts-on-my-new-airpods/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">8987</post-id> </item> <item> <title>the joys of homeownership: the frozen pipes edition.</title> <link>http://snowdeal.org/2018/01/the-joys-of-homeownership-the-frozen-pipes-edition/</link> <comments>http://snowdeal.org/2018/01/the-joys-of-homeownership-the-frozen-pipes-edition/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 03 Jan 2018 04:24:02 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator><![CDATA[snowdeal]]></dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <category><![CDATA[frozen]]></category> <category><![CDATA[home]]></category> <category><![CDATA[homeownership]]></category> <category><![CDATA[plumbing]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://snowdeal.org/?p=8978</guid> <description><![CDATA[we came back from a week away while much of region was plunged in subzero temperatures. the result? the pipes that supply water to our laundry machine in our poorly insulated mudroom froze. yay (not)!

Despite my best efforts, I am starting to see my life in context of life led by others. It is not how I think and who I am, and perhaps a little time off the networks will give me better perspective.”</p></blockquote><p>and today, coincidentally on new years day, the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dries_Buytaert">founder of drupal</a> gave me the final kick in backside.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">One of the things currently on my mind as we enter 2018: I feel like using social media less, and blogging more.
