Universal STIG Browser is a year old! Do you remember a time Pre-USB? When you had to load a slow yucky old Java app to view stigs on macOS. Today I realized version 1.4 bringing full functionality to macOS, iOS, iPadOS, and visionOS.

All my apps work on macOS 27(SC Menu, Air Drop Assistant, Universal STIG Browser). I always worry that Air Drop Assistant won’t. And I secretly hope it gets Sherlocked.

It’s not everyday you see your life flash before your eyes and catch it on video. Almost died this morning. No joke. The bar edged down just enough on my back I had to hike it up with a calf raise. Anyway I’m fine. But I don’t see myself using my squat stands for a long time.
