This is a good song. That Brandi Carlile is some kind of singer, hey? Solo or duet she blends so well.


Headphones, mic, guitars.

The most interesting thing to me about OpenAI launching an AI browser is that they’re on macOS first (and only) for now:

ChatGPT Atlas is launching on the Mac to begin with, and versions for iOS, Android, and Windows will be coming in the near future.



My family (mainly Sue) gets nervous whenever I use the instant pot because they think I’m going to open it up too soon and blow up our house. Not this time! Survived another soup making experience.

A fluffy white dog lies on a wooden floor next to a person's feet, partially under a kitchen counter.

Back at the rink for hockey again. Still has the same smell. We just get to come later now that my kid is in U18. 😴

I like my coffee to be asspirational.

A bag of Kicking Horse Coffee labeled Jolly Ass, featuring dark roast organic whole bean coffee with tasting notes of dark chocolate, toasty, and jubilant, is placed on a countertop next to a Cosori appliance.

5 years after moving in, I’m finally getting around to labelling the network ports in the mess of cables the previous owners left us.

A computer screen displays network settings for a USB 10/100/1000 LAN connection, indicating it is not connected, with options to delete the service or make it inactive.

“Why does this bacon smell like Christmas?” = successful bday party? 🤤


Teenagers are exhausting. (Only 13 more hours to go? 🥱)

Two feet in socks stand on a purple carpet with a small glowing blue object between them.A glowing balloon with Happy Birthday printed on it is set against a festive, dimly lit room with colorful lights.


Nice touch by a multi-national corporation: Starbucks applies your free rewards drink to the more expensive option on the order.

A coffee shop app screenshot shows two drink items, Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai and Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew, with one item priced at $0.00 due to a reward applied, and a total checkout amount of $6.05.

I just published a quick #Descript timeline tip if you’re not able to find the audio waveform view in your timeline anymore.

Checking with any other #Apple nerds out there: the Terminal command sudo pmset -c spindown 90 theoretically sets the spin down timer for external HDDs (spinning, not SSD) to 90 minutes instead of the stock 10 minutes. Any other issues or dangers in running it?

Disney+ Premium subscription price will increase from $119.99 to $159.99 per year starting from 19 November 2025.

Pumpkin spice latte kind of day. ☕️
