Childhood bro was in Purdue and couldn’t refuse an offer to visit Sweet Old Rose. Drive to pick him up at Purdue was fantastic. Drive back was a wonderful hail storm (no big deal at ALL).

Highlights of his stay were many, but one memorable is his cooking.

Foreign Whips was his debut single on Soundcloud, and he really whipped our kitchen into a foreign location after his pasta cooking session.

Vodka Sauce Spaghetti was good. There just was too much of it, as seen by how it fit into the pan.

DS, you never fail to disappoint.

Long time friend wanted to meet when I was back in town. I was feeling some pasta. Good thing we both like Italian!

So here’s a review of Rosebud - the hyped nice-ish Italian restaurant chain around the Chicagoland area.

We ordered too much food (something we both excel at since we don’t have siblings).

Overall it was great but I am not sure their food is worth this much hype.

SA and I need to find better Italian places to hang out at.

The California Camry illness is spreading thru the country. While it is great for $TSLA, I do not like getting confused in parking lots about which car is mine. Made sense to upgrade to the Model S platform, even though it is not as refined as Model 3 Platform.

I will take the free FSD that Tesla gave to all cars in their used inventory. That was one thing I skipped out on my Model 3 (if I had FSD would’ve kept it).

Used deals were good enough that my roommate was convinced and got a Model 3 LR with all the whistles (Accleration Boost, FSD, whatever else is there).

Fitting both cars back to back in a single door, long garage has been fun. Real life Jenga with almost six figures in cars is not stressful at all!

While everyone complained about being home in the pandemic, some people took matters into their hands and spent their time being productive. I would say I am one of those people.

Took the situation and made it as productive as possible. Classes, Investing, Learning, whatever I could. Hoped to make more posts here but frankly had my mind floating elsewhere.

Ending the year was an exciting product. I am an audiophile and was excited to see what AirPods Max could deliver.

Disappointment

They sound great, but are too heavy. I will stick to AirPods Pro for now.

Apple had a shot at killing the QC35 market and audiophile market in one shot, but did not happen unfortunately. Return policy wins in this case.

What a better way to end the busy winter academic term than a trip to SF and Bay Area!

• Killer AirBNB? ✅
• Model 3 Rental? ✅
• Tours around FANG? ✅
• Tesla Factory Tour? ✅

While the FANG offices were awesome, Apple Park stood out to me. The building is a spaceship. The visitor center was simple yet filled with sophistication.

One of my favorite shots was the Hermes display. Apple just knows killer design and simplicity. Also knows how to lock you into an ecosystem so they can become worth trillions (soon?).
