This is your periodic reminder that if you’re on a Mac and you want to live stream, but OBS has frustrated you, check out Ecamm Live. Best app on the Mac to live stream with, unless you enjoy fiddling with OBS preferences. 😆 (which some people do!)
““It’s going to be a glorious future,” Musk said, albeit not one that applies to families or groups of three or more.”" 🎯
It’s the time of year when the sound of the birds flying overhead on their journey south can be loud enough that I hear them with my headphones on while editing a podcast. #WinterIsComing
If anyone needs an Apple SuperDrive, I’ve got one in my drawer in my office. I assume they’ll be collectable items now that they’re discontinued and out of stock? 😆
Fun (and fun looking) resource site to learn HTML: HTML for People.
I feel bad for anyone who disagrees but is forced to stay at WordPress / Automattic for financial or other reasons. What a clown show Matt Mullenweg has turned this into. “The Community Is In Chaos”.
Who had Nintendo announcing a new alarm clockon their 2024 calendar?
I dig this list of useful Raycast extensions on MacStories. I know I could be using Raycast for a lot more - particularly if I paid for the pro version with window layouts.
I don’t often find myself agreeing with basically everything in a DHH post, but his post, Automattic is doing open source dirty, had me nodding along. #WordPress
In case you’re wondering about the 🐶, he can still fit inside his toy basket but I suspect he’ll be too big by Xmas.
RIP iPod Nano and iPod Shuffle. I think parents would love an iPad nano style device with a basic GPS tracking feature built in so kids could listen to music or podcasts, and do some sort of of basic messaging.
If you’re wanting to “smart” up your garage door opener without needing a whole new opener, this Refoss Smart Wi-Fi garage door opener is on sale. I picked one up last time it was on sale and it works great - HomeKit support too for Apple nerds.
Modern social media is like having a different coffee shop or restaurant you go to with 15 different people you’re close enough to that you’d meet. But no matter how hard you try, you can never get all 15 people to agree to go to the same place at once.
Pestle, Crouton, and Paprika are the main recipe apps I’m aware of for iOS / macOS. Anyone using something else these days they love? We’ve been a Paprika household forever, but the interface is feeling quite dated in 2024.
First time in my podcast editing career that someone was having contractions while recording the podcast. 🎉 (No word on whether they’ve had the baby yet!)
Me for most of my life: “That’s rude, my parents didn’t offer to pay for the food I picked up for us.” Me when my kid offers to pick up McDs just now: “Sure! I’ll send you the $10 for my order. Thanks!”
The #circleoflife hits you pretty hard some days. Elton John was right.
Work from home protip: If you’re feeling annoyed and irritated at all the things, double check the time and ask yourself if you remembered to eat lunch today.
The way Matt Mullenweg appears to be burning down all of WordPress' goodwill, it’s triggering the way I felt when Musk burnt down Twitter and wrote this: Building something valuable is really, really hard. But tearing it all down is piss easy.
