Faraway, So Micro

I managed to fix my old Heil shock mount that I was about to throw out with a very niche solution: duck tape and pliers. And in moving things around I fixed the buzz I was getting on recordings. 💪🏽

Next up: the wall behind me during recordings. 😳

New blog post: How I Use Fiddling With My Tools to Avoid Doing the Work

Wow. If Gruber adds an image embed to a post, you know Apple’s fumbled the ball big time. 😆

Andy Bell and crew have got a great senior level “Complete CSS Course” over at Piccalil. And it looks like there’s a nice PPP (purchasing power parity - I had to google it) discount code to use if you’re coming in from Canada. 🇬🇧❤️🇨🇦

This little 💩 pulled me over just as I stepped on to ice. I guess I’ll still let him come home with me. 😠 🤕

In a world menaced by a Donald, be a Larry. According to comments, he listened to hours of testimony and then came up and said this.

I’m going to be live this afternoon talking with Tim about naming things and whatever else comes up, so feel free to join in a couple hours from RIGHT NOW on Twitch. 😆

All my Discord servers are full of people upset about the UI changes Discord made. So I’d guess engagement is up? Good work team.

This is the modern Clippy except its only purpose is to tell me to pay Notion more for a feature I don’t want, and I can’t get rid of it. So the next likely step is getting rid of Notion at some point. #aislop

Updated my /uses/ page from last year. Not updating my photo though because my office is nowhere near that clean or organized right now. 😱

What have you enjoyed that’s on Steam’s City Builder & Colony Sim promotion that I should buy and forget to play on Steam? 😆 🕹️

Someone at Costco was watching my chat with Tim 😆

For anyone having trouble getting today’s ShopTalk Show episode, they’re having some issues with web hosting that will hopefully be sorted soon.

In the meantime, you can watch the episode with David Darnes on their YouTube channel.

“He’s a Cybertruck in human form, and that is almost certainly the point.”
