First time getting a vehicle towed achievement unlocked. ✅ (Technically it’s my son’s vehicle.)

Apparently the drive belt slipped off while driving, causing the steering to seize up. Luckily he was able to get to a quiet street.

Is there any decent #WordPress themes out there that aren’t just blocks and patterns that force you to build your own website? I want a theme that’s opinionated and decides all that crap for me so I can just throw my work details in and get back to editing podcasts. Anyone?

So far I’m liking the slow transition from 1Password to macOS / iOS’ built in password manager, but the one request I have is to be able to set a “don’t ask for my password again for 5 minutes” option. Every time I even think about closing the Password app, it asks me for my password again.

It’s never going to be a great time to wash the vehicle this week (or month), but when is the optimal time when a spring melt is happening?

Today a “real-life friend” told me they read something on my blog and it didn’t make me shrivel up into a tiny ball. So… I guess I’ve made some progress. 😆

Nodding along to Leah Reich’s thoughts here: We don’t need no innovation.

What I want are products and experiences that feel human. I want innovation that is constrained by human need and human behavior, rather than innovation that requires human need and human behavior to adapt themselves to it.

Very important tech issue: why does Balatro for macOS (Apple Arcade) not respect “Windowed” as a setting? It desperately wants to always be full screen on it’s own desktop space.

Screenshot of Balatro+ settings on macOS showing that it’s in Windowed mode but still full screen.

Sorry, no live stream today. 3 kids + a friend + a dog means I have a 100% chance of being interrupted. I couldn’t even finish writing this without a “Dad! Neville is outside!” 😆

I’m glad the AI machine overlords are able to pick out the important bits from podcasts. 🤖💨

As silly as Apple’s Apple Intelligence is at times, when I see stuff like OpenAI removing any sort of safeguards on their product in the pursuit of profit, I think in the long run Apple may be making the right choice to go super slow.
