After hearing an account of how my mother is being abused by men, back home, I do a night on mobile; vast usury inquest style, then I...

... end up okay, somehow, in the end (somewhat; just a bit slight recursively inclusion thing), I mean...

Okay,








so an image of Natalie Portman somehow comes to me, and I’d had such longing fondness of her, for her beauty, and then - 

... etc. more fan basis of commentary on the link up above, going to my Pinterest account, which I hadn’t really nurtured, for a good long time, yet I’d never... well, just go and visit the link! You’ll see my comment at | on the event.

    ... a good Pinterest scroll-through of pics of her [gorgeous], on a newly re-charged and newly outfitted data plan on my SafeLink California Lifeline account - a great fixie deal at $5.78 plus tax for 4 GB of data being my browsing basis, here in mobile-browsing and home-cleaning world of South Los Angeles... I felt like I ought to blog it. 

and I exit out from my slight excursion from mobile app and web development studies - today it was (topically) - Android development on ARM and Intel platforms; the Codename Zygote Project management basis of Intel’s rich suite of offerings, and the literature - on the Google Play Book Store, a rich and compellingly interesting-enough 501-page look into the small-world, thereof. A real page-turner.

How to pick a service provider (or not) for purchasing a new iPhone 11 Pro Max | or a 2019 model iPad (Pro, or other version iPad OS device).

I stopped in to The Grove in the trendy and entertainment-industry luxe and plush young lifestyle Los Angeles locale around Park La Brea and the Miracle Mile Wilshire District and LACMA | Tar Pits. 


The thing that really had me awestruck about the outing was my encounter with the iPhone 11 Pro “Max,” which I hadn’t been aware of, prior to showing up at the Apple Store, in and of itself. It seemed to have slipped my awareness in the course of reveling in news about iPad OS for having purchased a 6th generation iPad ver. 7,5 (2018), myself, last month. 


The difference between the iPhone 11 Pro Max and the iPhone 11 Pro is the screen size; 6.5 in. versus 5.9 with the iPhone 11 Pro. Since I had side-by-side options between the related iPhone models at the table featuring these latest release devices, I checked out the iPhone 11 Pro Max version, just to dream a bit and to check out the much-touted three-component high-end camera-trois view-frame compositing with the new “Pro” model high(er)-resolution display [whereas I had been left (previously) thinking that “Pro” would have been good enough, let alone a Pro Max version - now, an even larger display. 

The functional screen-compositing foray of feature-newish-ness, as for what can be said about the Camera app “quick take” of a user experience inquiry that I had on the device is that it could be likened to the earlier days of the NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 days, back in the turn of the millenium, on the PowerPC Mac G5s, of which the $1500 video card upgrade was the top-of-the-line upgrade of the pro-series Apple desktops, back then. The higher-end Quadro FX video cards were well-known for their increased pipeline floating-dot ray-tracing of independent objects, and more resolutely independent disparate object lighting and vector-tracing | shading, such that could be represented by the old fireworks screensaver or benchmarking video card system performance tester apps. The higher end graphics cards rendered the fireworks and the after-effects of the flares burning out, beams of flares shooting out, independently, and as designed, by the fireworks manufacturers, imaginably. Such is the feature benefit seen in the triple camera component of the iPhone 11 Pro Max.

While it’s an exciting and compelling tool, undoubtedly; I imagine that finding a sound and rational basis for utilizing the iPhone 11 Pro or Pro Max version might seem scant, yet the introduction of the ARkit features, as represented by the Reality Composer app, which is a latest release from Apple for iOS and iPad OS devices, securing a user-basis founded on augmented reality, Physical Internet of Things displays and exhibitions (Geo-Info-Spatial | GIS entries), iBeacons (which still have much to be discovered for the casual mobile device user and proximity-marketing outgoing-explorer consumer, having been introduced to the public in Apple’s 2013 WWDC talks).

More and more apps are allowing for world-map entries of augmented reality placements and contributions to an at-large or social-networked set of included participants. 

That being said, it’s a touchy subject to go it as the top-tier buyer-in of a high-end Apple device; I, for one, had formerly been graced with a lease offer from my local Sprint store, yet I’d come to discover that I had ubiquitously strange encounters with strangers, as a backpacking outdoors-regular in my downtown urban metropolitan neighborhood locales and parks. Long story short, I’d been followed by people who were inevitably out for robbing me of my Apple devices, impossible as it is, regardless, to try and crack an owned Apple device, anyhow. 

Later on, with a month-to-month agreement with T-Mobile, I’d found myself somewhat forgetful, (it had seemed), yet also questionable (as it was, by my account, remembered) - there was some questionable basis on that I had paid for my monthly unlimited services, whereas obviously I would - it’s my iPad unlimited data high-speed access account due each month. The lesson from that one is - make sure that the payment occurs in reasonable accommodation to the coming and passing of payments received (monthly, as it were), in order to not get the device (yet again), stolen from me, as that strange people had been interested in me, with an iPad user outdoorsy identity | persona.

AT&T or Verizon? I can’t say, for myself, personally, but my stringent belief is that a significantly large proportion of user basis for these devices is welfare-bound, or some other debacle of user-crisis existentialism founded over the purchase and indulgence in; (of) a high-end Apple mobile user device life-lived client | persona “vertical pipelines” new- (no) “next” era user-base basis. 

If it could be afforded, buy it free and clear from Apple, or from one of the participating retail giants that are competing for those small, hard-earned margins-sales buyers who won’t, or don’t cause problems, or renege their valuation basis. 

I’ll be sure to cover more of the intricate essential elaborate user-lifestyle accomplishments that could be had by adopting an iOS device in to life lived, at hand, in this day and age.

I'm being involuntarily hospitalized - possible foul play due to stalking and malpractice.

I think that my doctor's team is psychotic for some kind of bounty. I've been being stalked by my neighbors, who have kids, and they abuse them, and I feel like my social worker at The People Concern, Sarah Huizenga, is somewhat in the middle of a messy situation, with

Alexis Orens
Aorens@telecarecorp.com
600 S. St. Paul, 90017

and some guy named Lionel « Jackson », (sounds shifty), who looks like a Muslim, twisting her arm, perhaps. I have appointments with Sarah on Thursdays and I ended up being upended for no particular reason. I got taken in to LAC/USC. It's the Telecare doctor's school or attendance; perhaps relevant, and they complain about me being on social media and speaking out about the oppressions being lodged at me. 





Please help if you can, send me your prayers, and speak on my behalf, if possible. The last time I got taken in, my entire months and months worth of laboring work was ransacked from my apartment; an insult and injury I have still not financially recovered from. I feel like my apartment is at risk for a significant robbery. Fat people are at issue, here, as the possible and | or probable culprits; "Alexis" has been complaining in my head, as a stalker, as well as simply falsely-claimant social worker, from what I had heard of her, in that she claims that I "probably think that she's just a fat bitch," (sic).

A Pigeon-peep post-WWDC 2019 and public betas provided: a look into the maturing and prolific iOS trawls upon mobile tech and lifestyle tablet 2018-current (for me) iPadOS 13.1 configuration early beta and development seeders.

By now, anyone who’s been trawling around DTLA as much as I have, amongst wondering “if it’s me who smells like that?” - or was it just some inductive nuclear släbe bwipped AF jaunt-most who’s perhaps not aware of how shitness it sladed bwaff, during the padless flange on ass - of multiple faux pas of tech and lifestyle garbage deployment of the real garbage-slanted efforts of trying to keep the validly garbage alley dump smell off of the main streets, while people feed the shit-talkin’ stories floating over and around various sorts of people such that I can’t even really tell if it’s live and in real-time action on the shit’n’in’ sit-in, of some släde, but it sure was for-serious; the hot summer heat inductive heat-and-leak persona and passive radiation of the architecture just got to some people. I’d been there, before, but this time around, I got on Target and Affirm’s online branding-digital-dealing of the back-to-school perspective on doing e-commerce into all reaches of society, welfare recipient and upwards, as far as credit lending would go. 

I’d been freaking out, as an aside - that I only had a handful of days from earlier on in my “current” wakeful cycle, which was largely not my own, being that I was being targeted for an inane (fasting) blood draw drama with my medical and psychiatric services providership °[<^•~•^>]…,*.? - suitably unprofessional young’uns, who don’t sweat the slade of outdoorsmanship bum-stuff, except from an office-gigs’ stewardship of sitting around, mostly; I imagine. Turns out that I have my iCloud account coming back to me, as well - one precious day sooner than the previous iForgot; amongst various other dating debacles of maintaining my schedule, as best that I could. Meanwhile, the words matter, and so does the inductive reasoning; which would obviously ruin the blog if I started going off on such broad personal topic(s) like that.

fighting back the potato bugs and cockroaches, in addition... 

,anyways...

I’ll photoblog the social media regalia separately, later on. 





The significant buyer | user demographic that would benefit from this late summer’s back-to-school savings are undoubtedly the students and the dailies app-obsessive audiences of sticking to the sales pitch of Apple, that they do, of offering student and educational institutional pricing, amongst other plans, although this current wave of competitive retail giants’ flash sales came and went as a much-coveted ad marketing machine; the latest features and releases of the Apple WWDC 2019 being coolly managed elsewhere, from my locality (Downtown urban and south Los Angeles, California, USA 🇺🇸).

By the way, 

... the President himself is slated to enter and review this very locality I live in and frequent, quotably concerned about the extent of the homelessness problem of the area. 
lol. I recall that I made an off-color comment about that he could walk down the same streets I do and be received very well, if he ventured to hoof it, out and about, on Twitter.

My latest obsession of the iPadOS version 13.1 public beta (which I downloaded last night autonomously), at FigAt7th (mostly), thanks to Safelink’s SMS ad marketing campaign of a 4GB data addition - mid-plan, for only $5.78, plus sales tax (10.25%, I believe). I determined, after some duress, that I could manage the Affirm.com credit-loan payment apparatus, whether or not Kroger | Ralph’s prepaid recharge card program’s Patriot Act Identity Verification requests upon my purchased financial instruments would align to suit my payment deadline for the month. Luckily, Affirm.com has a lenient take on their crediting plan; as it seems that it’s taking the perspective of a non-aggressive stance, as that they’re creditors, and it’s commonly thought otherwise. 💭 

It’s been a long bwamm trek on my iPad, as I’ve been up and active [pretty much], since, like, the 10th. 
Egg, inc. is a super fun game for people who had been missing out on some sort of Sim-City type of gaming simulation of a civic growth project; here: a chicken egg farm into modern-day tech and sciences, with humorous ad-headlines of 🥚 egg, chicken, and Elon Musk allusory in the game’s sequence and features.

iPadOS 13.1 makes use of the A10X Fusion processor(s) of the 2018 model iPad, the iPad Air 2 being similar, I believe; and as well, featuring a higher-end WiFi throughput bit-rate of up to 880 Mbps capability of the adapter hardware. (I believe I got 4G speeds of up to several hundred  Mbps, [or was it Gbps?]); anyhow, I managed the 2.8+ GB iPadOS 13.1 public beta for developer account Apple ID registrants and Beta Program AppleSeed content delivery network consumers and developers. I’m sure that the newer model 2019 devices will be significant upgrades and entrants into the iPad user markets, as far as performance specs and benchmarking go, seeing as how the pricing margins of store-bought new devices has slimmed down in to the $249-$329 price range for base model iPads with WiFi only. I figure that, since Safelink offers unlimited data, WiFi and Bluetooth tethering unlimited, at that; ostensibly for no cost,, at all; if need be, ostensibly, that a WiFi model is a suitable companion to an Android OS A7 quad core-processor smart phone on Oreo (keeping up with Google App Developer legacy abandonment concerns), which I have running on a TCL LX device, only $29..99 at Target.





One of the major

UI dailies UX device implementations that I noticed of the iPadOS 13.1 integration with Cloud and App development and delivery is that they’ve brought in a “leaner” cursor and text selection apparatus, which I’ve become comfortably used to, on Android, as my current most-latest writing-prolific default (since I just recently re-purchased an iPad), which I find is a bit quicker and more efficient typing mechanism for textually-critical and dictational-centric take-down of the GTD via linear-visual-spatial, or of the post-composition Text-to-Speech relay read back of the work that’s been done.

For people who aren’t succinctly “up” on the free government phone LifeLink California program, enough to be sold on the lifestyle - it’s fairly simple. For Food Stamps (SNAP) and General Relief recipients, various organizational enterprises, (essentially startups, in various stages; and ad-hoc arms-branches of major Telecom) offer this free government device and service offering, with variants on the amount of data service that’s provided, per month, along with that provided free smart phone device(s). [One per individual’s household and beneficiaries’ case], except where the user is deaf; in which case two devices are allowed.

That being said, a new model iPad really goes through the paces of connectivity data demands well during recharge period, and once it’s done, that lifestyle’s typically forgotten. It’s unfortunate to lose access to streaming services and secure io protocol sockets of web browsing when it happens. 



To tie it all together, the Google GSuite offering of programs is my favorite pick for a suitable medium for early-on developers and startups of data | cloud | access and file management. Learning Google’s GSuite Enterprise Drive device and file-management practices is simple - ostensibly, there’s little of typical desktop-sort archiving and unarchiving of files that typically happens easily on a  Tablet-OS | desktop-independent file-system sort of user interface management. The shining star of iPadOS 13.1 and of Android, as well: are the App Store, and Google Play Store. The interfacing offerings interweave and align together between the two platforms smoothly; as Apple’s iOS is structured on some of the same open source libraries as Google’s Android is, as one can see in the Licensing, Acknowledgments, and Terms, etc. 


That’s all for tonight; I’ve got to clean my place up.

Attempting to capture the miniature J’acque-ielle-uffalope on photograph after a cock-tarded start to a banger trading day (update to come).

The latest cocq-tard’ed kitsch thing of the moment is a nuclear watershed fuzz closet scrum-bwix*stchkies^~£<_>^ hard-tack pigeon-biscuit (hard-timin’) folio, of some future-generations AI-tech cloud-print materials-ulterior quantum-“heres-and-nows” scala-sorts of risk-assessment data exhibits visualizations, of that I now have the means to capture such creatures-almoste, like an aspiration to become a vegan, yet be graced with a valid, yet urban, and authentic finery’s establishment of a long-bespoken cultural underpinning to surmise its indisputable, humble offering. 


The Jack-a-luffalope, in standard American minds, becomes delineated by its visual form as the lowest and least most common denominator - both base and treble are ostensible cultivar aspirations of the Indo-European-Germanic-Classically Latin etymologies and evolutionary possibilities - it could either have been printed in to a beetle (potato-affined; “potato beetle,” as I’ve discovered, or it could have become a meaty bold ranges and tundras work-bison, with many more evolutions and interventions in play. 

The jackrabbit is the ostensible Adonis youthful breadwinner in this one of many bits and scattered scrummy pieces of all sorts of stuff in the scrum - closet: for technical analysis and scholarly delimination of “from out of a trash-dive closet,” - I still haven’t cleaned up, fully, but I’d assert that I gathered valuables, from the dumpsters, etc., and that many people were simply not raised quite as well as I was, and it’s upsetting the higher ups and potential institutional entity chippers of whatever small cultural means that they might see towards my beneficiary unto myself, for picking up pennies, etc. hmmm...

Anyways, I’ll follow up on my pidginHub.app blog of transliterative creoles-vested niches of publication, about some of the more integrated discrete forms that come to light in the greater socioeconomic forays (chaotically-macro), yet within he scale of one day of (commonly) modern-day trauma, as it had come to be known, the integral formative entities that I’ve dug up, in a day of meted-research and development aux-relevànce on market bangers this week, and of today... 

I’ll leave it at that.

A new quick take at a stylized logo. (A photoblog).

Through my recent outings, I had gathered an iPad case whose logo was the inspiration for the dualistic and opposing curves of the P and g letters used in this new rendering of a logo.

Although the rest of the font is not optimally stylized, I feel like this take on a square image icon is reasonably a step up from just a pigeon, in and of itself; a sole figure whereas screen space is increasing in density, and more detail can be brought in to a smaller space. 

An iPigeon.institute logo created by Jay Ammon on September 7th, 2019.
I feel like it has a bit of the Fibonacci sequence in the Rotarian-ness of it, I’ll work at it some more,

The notion of "wall-pigeons" had passed through my mind, in fact, recently.

I found the wall-pigeon, of real life to be (in this case), only one such a pigeon. 





Was he hurt? Confused? Somebody's escaped bird?

I stayed with the bird for a while, and I tossed him some soaked bagel, in case he was hungry. 

It turned out that the pigeon was a young one. There are many youngsters out and about this year; apparently the feeding and supplementation efforts have paid off in progeny of the birds along the major locales. 




As it turns out, the wall-pigeon is a young bird, and perhaps he couldn't make it to the cross-border rooftop perch, nearby the location, Immanuel Presbyterian Church, which (I believe), commonly feeds the homeless, in addition to attracting this pigeon flock. 

I hadn't been getting out to the Korea Town-area pigeons in recent weeks, because of the severe heat, and a lack of sufficient resources to feed the birds, on account of a small and limited budget; moreso towards the end of the month, at times. 

This summer had proven to be a significantly hot one, yet good for overnighting, on a jaunt, as I most definitely appeared as such, carrying a clear and large(r) plastic bag, rather than the common large black trash bag sort I would typically have, and be seen collecting recyclables with, in the DTLA and USC areas. 

With the day behind me, and Labor Day ahead of me, I was excited to fund my monthly budget considerations, as General Relief benefits come in on the 2nd of the month, this month happening, also, <superscript>[the 2nd of the month]</superscript>to be Labor Day - a notable partying day for young people; and for shedding off contexts of earlier times (short time-span-perspective, such as in the tradition of no longer wearing white while out and about. 

I found a white shirt. It was of decent quality, although slightly stained by splatters of stuff. Good enough for me; I work with splatters as a basis of work, as a recyclables collector and pigeon feeder - slash ( / ) blogger. 

I went out to the beach, originally; somewhat as a romantic notion; as I felt like I was highly visible and getting too familiar with [perhaps] locals, etc. (perhaps I might be seen as rude, for overachieving in collecting recyclables for too many days in a row) - sort of thing. 

The beach was packed and bangin', as I arrived. Thousands of people packed the several blocks from the Downtown Santa Monica Station out to the pier and the beach. I felt nervous, though; something was a bit fearful of me, as myself. 

Probably my iPad. I definitely have a bit of heat on me for having finally wrought through the challenges of previous months and years by purchasing an iPad. 

Anyways, I left the beach without much glory. Just digging through the trashcans on the beach and finding recyclables to stuff in to my bag. The point of the day (hey, actually beach was... 


... Hmm :-/ well, it was somewhere during the weekend; I still haven't slept.
So, I purchased an Apple Pencil, a transaction which I had arranged over the early hours of the morning on craigslist and on Facebook. It turned out that Facebook sellers were more responsive than craigslist sellers, and the one that responded from CL was really aloof in answering what the price was and one other question. He managed to tell me his name, though, and he never followed up to pursue me as an impulse buyer as a responsive person, within seconds.  

Given all of that, I'm getting old, and perhaps the new generation is more sold on alternative merchant retailing and self-starter initiative outlets like Facebook Marketplace, Google Shopping, Amazon, etc. 

By the way, I started also partnering with Shopify as a Shopify Partner, and I'm really excited over the features they offer and of the dynamic content and client / partner / app development designers and etc.; various tasks and occupations that connect Shopify as a brand to the merchant and as well, the developers and designers of stores. 

I'm set on working towards earning my certifications from Shopify Academy and attending more events. There's no small crimes robbery feeling about that whole aspect of life, as a prospect life persona to fulfill. 


Fwewwwwoooshhhh... That's what I'm dealing with, aside from feeding pigeons. 
Thankfully, I found a rolling luggage bag in Pasadena, and I hit Target's lighting sale, with bravo colors.
Jay Ammon's apartment home's kitchen and lighting, from Target's 2019 Labor Day one-day sale.
My newly cleaned kitchen and associated lighting.
 With all the luxe of the rolling luggage bag, I was able to shop maybe 7-10 times on one outing over the weekend, which totally kicked my endorphin meter wild. 

Anyways, here's some more pigeon photos, and I adjusted my take on how I might go about some future plots as to a standard day's schedule (somewhat). 

To be updated...
