I’m at Costco. Let me know if you want me to pickup some jumbo muffins we can stress eat while the world gives us daily BREAKING NEWS updates.

Aw dang I lost my 322 day reading streak on Readwise and now I don’t want to read anymore. 😢

Whenever I say I bought Rogue Amoeba’s Loopback software, people ask what I use it for. It’s a bit of an odd tool in the macOS toolkit, so I thought I’d do a quick demo of why I still think it’s a great one to have on the Mac. Here’s the video.

I tried a mini-rant on YouTube that I normally would’ve just thrown on TikTok without any editing. I’m not sure if I can commit to it regularly, but it was fun to try. Watch over here.

Pretty great deal on the Elgato Stream Deck + audio mixer at Amazon Canada if you’ve been looking to try a Stream Deck.

Well… that’s not how I usually grind coffee beans. 🤦

I don’t know what the right thing is exactly, but it feels odd that Tenacious D would shut everything down over a bad improv joke about a former President dying, when that former President has said so many more heinous and disgusting things without so much as an apology.

New on mah buk blog: A Reflection on Chapter 3 of Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story

Even if you’re not a U2 fan, I really recommend Bono’s autobiography. He narrates the audiobook himself and it’s heartbreakingly beautiful and entertaining. If nothing else, listen / read to chapter 3.

Finished reading: Number Go Up by Zeke Faux 📚 more people need to read this book and be outraged at the crypto nft bros.

The best part of the kids being at camp this week as I can pull out the Nutella and not have to share any of it.

I’m suddenly seeing a lot of Apple Vision Pro adverts everywhere. Is it coming to Canada soon or something? I still can’t justify buying one so they’re wasting their ad $$ on me. 😝

I wish we could have a day or two each month where we all collectively agreed to post about things we enjoy, love, appreciate, or celebrate. No rage farming, click baiting, or rants allowed. Just for one day.

Grinding the coffee beans in the garage on a Saturday morning is how I show my kids I love them.

Unless they were turds the night before. Then all bets are off. 😆

As someone from the before times who was there when Steve Jobs brought iMovie down from the mountain tops for us mere mortals to be able to edit video on a $1,500 laptop, it’s still crazy to me what can be done on a phone + CapCut.

Crazy storm last night that had a ton of lightning and rain, a few good cracks of thunder, and kept winding around for a couple hours so that no sleep was had by the adults from 2-4am. Somehow the kids slept through it all. 😴

I don’t want to know what’s happening down south to generate this as a “trend”. 🤦‍♂️

Trending on Twitter: Vice President Trump, Zelensky, Tim Apple.

Dang it’s really nice to know I’ve been missed, even if it is by a random person on my YouTube channel. 💗

YouTube comment screenshot reading "It's always worth watching your channel, that's another useful tip that I wasn't aware of."

I haven’t published a YouTube video in such a long time, but I stumbled on a viewer question about Audio Hijack file recording length mismatch and made a quick tutorial.

I miss using the video recording / editing muscle on my own stuff.

Heyo I bloggo’d (that’s what we used to say back in the 2010’s. no need to look it up. i was there.) Apple Watch for Kids Campaign is Gross
