I just finished recording an episode of The Rebound and I was thinking to myself, well that’s all the recording I have to do today.

And then I was like, wait, I still didn’t record Your Daily Lex today.

What am I getting recorded about?

And I said, I know, I’ll figure that out after I record the intro.

This is that very intro.

Your Daily Lex.

I was at an improv rehearsal last night and listen, nobody ever wants to hear about an improv rehearsal or an improv scene that they weren’t a part of.

I’m going to share it with you anyway.

There was a scene where somebody involved had never learned to navigate stairs.

And that was the impetus of this particular scene we were doing.

And it was funny and cleverly done.

And then when I entered another scene with that character, I of course had a 12-step program for them to learn stairs.

I was very proud of that.

So I thought I would tell you and now I’ve told you.

Obviously Apple had its big keynote on Monday of this week.

And I’m certainly excited about a lot of things coming to iOS and Mac OS.

I was even tempted by some of the new Macs.

I don’t need a new Mac, so I didn’t order a new Mac, but I imagine one day I might own a Mac studio.

There’s things I love about owning a Mac laptop, chiefly the fact that I can take my work with me anywhere.

But I also love the idea of tethering my work to a workplace.

Like there’s something that’s really nice about the idea, especially, you know, working for myself from home, the idea of plopping away, you know, a Mac studio in my office and that’s where I can work and I can’t work elsewhere.

There’s something about that that I like.

On the flip side, I am hoping to do some outside work this summer.

I still haven’t today.

I certainly couldn’t with all the smoke and stuff, man, it smells like just a giant fireplace outside.

But I like the idea of taking my laptop outside, but I still haven’t done it, but we’ll see.

But anyway, I was intrigued by all the things.

And then obviously plenty of talk about the Apple Vision Pro.

Some of that talk on this week’s episode of The Rebound, available now for Prime subscribers to Rebound Prime and coming later this week for everybody else.

But man, as I talk in more detail about on The Rebound this week, something about those demos for the headset, the Vision Pro, really made me uncomfortable in a strangely visceral way, which I did not expect at all.

I knew going in that I don’t think I’m in the market for a headset right now.

I think it’s probably at least, let’s call it at least a year, maybe two years away before it’d be a thing that I’m ready to plunge into at all.

But as we discussed a bit on The Rebound that you’ll maybe hear later, there’s some of the marketing I think Apple will like a do over on.

A parent interacting with his son while the parent is wearing the headset is weird, or watching memories on your headset because I guess you weren’t super present for them before because you recorded them on your head, like, oh, that’s weird.

But something about the idea of people wanting to interact with you in the real world while they’re wearing their AR VR headset struck me as uncomfortable.

I think in part because I don’t want to live in a world where everybody’s wearing those headsets and we’re all supposed to be interacting with each other.

And my buddy Dan made the point that maybe the short battery life is an asset.

I think it was Dan, it might’ve been Maltz.

But somebody made the point that with short battery life, I think it was Maltz now.

I’m going to take it back.

I’m taking it away from Dan and I’m awarding the points to Maltz.

But with short battery life, you can’t wear it all over the place because it’ll die.

So good on Apple for intentionally making the battery life low.

But seriously, I am definitely intrigued.

And the idea of wearing one of those bad boys on an airplane and watching a movie, there’s something about that that I really like.

But to me, it’s a very private device, right?

You use that when you’re shutting off from the rest of the world.

I get the instinct to shoehorn in some socialization to it, showing your eyeballs, giving you an option to interact with other humans around you.

But it makes me uncomfortable to imagine people thinking that that’s okay.

If you’re wearing a giant Apple vision pro headset with your virtual eyes being broadcast on the front screen, because I’m in the room and we’re talking and you don’t take that damn thing off, I’m mad at you.

So I’m saying take off your headset when you’re talking to me, take off your VR headset.

Is that so much to ask?

It’s not.

Anyway, a happy Wednesday and a, Hey, I didn’t forget to record an episode.

So we’re all winners.

Lex.
