I don’t want to jinx anything, but could tonight be the night the Jets finally break their losing streak? 🙏🏻
If you ever need to convert WordPress to Markdown (for Eleventy, Astro, etc.), this repo on GitHub is all you need.
Alright now let’s do Messages in iCloud storage. How many messages and storage are you seeing on Settings app > Your Account at the top > iCloud > Messages?
One of the best parts about Brad Frost’s write up of how he put together a crazy idea for a talk at Beyond Tellerand is that at pretty much no point does he think “I should just ask Claude or ChatGPT”. Instead he reaches out to other creative humans for help in building out his vision.
If you host a podcast and spend the time your guest(s) are speaking planning how to steer the conversation back to your own experiences instead of actively listening, you are failing your audience. Ask follow up questions. Be curious. You’re the voice for the listeners, not yourself.
How much space does Apple Music use on your iPhone if you don’t have any songs downloaded? 33GB seems like a lot. (Settings.app > iPhone Storage > scroll down the list until you see Apple Music)
I’m on Apple One with the 2TB storage. I got this warning and when I tap it, it shows me that I could “upgrade” to 50GB more. Which is horribly wrong. That would downgrade me by 1,950GB and potentially cause me to lose a ton of photos and videos. What is going on #Apple?

This isn’t about what Instagram allows on their platform.
New blog post: The Blogging… It’s Working!
Ooh fun new “add chapters to audio files” app coming soon from Matt Birchler called ChapterPod.
I also love the look and feel of his website. Seems to be built on Ghost.
I’m finalizing my email newsletter for tomorrow. First one of 2026! Sign up here buttondown.com/lemoncast… if you want thoughts from me in your inbox most Tuesdays.
New blog post: The Circle of Xbox vs Gaming PC Life in my Brain
Something I’m contemplating as I head into 2026: What if checking Bluesky, Mastodon, TikTok, RSS feeds, Instagram, Threads, 4 Discords, writing a blog, barely maintaining a business website, live streaming randomly, and an email client with 3 inboxes isn’t the best way to be productive?
