Tim Cook gifting Trump a custom made gift is wild. I’m shocked at how one of the world’s richest companies has to kiss the ring and humiliate themselves like this.

TIL there are people who set up groups with strangers to share the price of an Apple One bundle. That’s a level of IT admin / bill sharing I can’t imagine doing.

Ok fine, my boss is forcing me to play some #Fortnite on the old streamer machine for a break. Live now! www.twitch.tv/lemoncast…

Side-eyeing the Xbox in my office as it updates with the new #Fortnite season while focusing on the work I need to get done.

I played a bit of Fortnite’s “Festival Main Stage” (think Rock Band or Guitar Hero style) game mode last night, and I don’t understand why Epic hasn’t started selling guitar and drum controllers again. It feels like a new generation is ready for them.

New blog post: Ghost v6

I don’t play much from Apple Arcade these days, but I do enjoy The Emoji Game on Apple News+ so the bundle is worth it?

I’m sure it’s a coincidence that Riverside tries to tack on podcast hosting to their services the same week that a client has a recording be the most out of sync (video to audio) that I’ve seen in years… but it’s sure not building a lot of confidence for me with their app.

Nice touch by Micro.blog to offer free blog hosting for teachers and nurses - and not just in the United States.

I really dig this idea: If you’re remote, ramble. Gives people a place to post to a team without feeling like they have to figure out which channel stuff goes in, and people can turn notifications on or off as needed. It wouldn’t scale to large groups, but it could? (Via ShopTalk Show Discord)

Updating my blog to Ghost v6 without backing anything up because I like to live ~dangerously~ (lazily).

A website update for chrisenns.com is in progress, with a suggestion to take a coffee break while waiting.

Simple: How to Leave Substack.

There’s a petition asking Saskatoon city officials to reconsider the approval and hosting of the upcoming Sean Feucht concert in our community planned for August 21, 2025 at Diefenbaker Park. #yxe

The best time to get off Substack was yesterday. But you can still do it today.

My son’s 2TB SSD card for his PC build arrived and I’m still in shock over how small 2TB of data storage is in 2025. Back in my day…

Spotted a new menu item in Riverside’s menu: “Hosting”. At the end of the day, I don’t really care that much what company does what as long as they do it well, but there’s something about “we’re going to be the everything app” that rubs me wrong in the indie + creative space.

Finished reading: Catalyst (Star Wars) by James Luceno 📚 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The BBQ grilled salsa was amazing. Sorry you can’t taste it through the screen. Leftovers available if you hurry. 😆

A bbq in the foreground has peppers, tomatoes, onions, and more on it cooking. A lake is in the background.

What a distinguished looking gentleman. 🐶

Neville Dogbottom, a golden doodle puppy, stands on his hind legs holding on to the railing of a deck looking out.

Do you ever think about how wild it is that boats work? If we could actually see to the bottom of the lake when we’re out on the boat, everyone would be way more freaked out at how “high” up we are. It’s kind of wild.
