New blog post: Edits from Instagram for iOS

I keep checking my Signal account just in case I’ve been added to any US government planning chats.

Anyone know #YouTube tactics well enough to know whether you should link the full episode a Short is clipped from, or just other Shorts in the “Related video” field for a Short?

I’m driving 867km today, which should take around 8hrs give or take.

What’s the best podcast episode you’ve listened to recently that I should check out?

I haven’t slept past 7am for months. Today I slept past 10am. 👀 In these weird times, let people sleep if they’re able to. 🤲

I kind of miss the days when I could hand my bank login over to Mint and never have to resync bank accounts again. I’m so sick of seeing the Plaid logo whenever I try to use LunchMoney. 😆

I don’t know if there will ever be another Marc-Andre Fluery in the NHL. 😆

Wtf is this garbage? ❄️

A smartwatch displays a weather alert indicating light snow flurries are expected to start soon.

There’s an iOS 18.4.1 and macOS Sequoi 15.4.1 update out now that addresses a security vulnerability and you’re advised to update as soon as you can.

According to my kids, it’s way cooler that I’m editing the YouTube Shorts clips for a client than any other thing I’ve done. 😆

You can just upload as much 4K video as you want to a youtube channel and it’s free. I still think that’s crazy.

I always forget about turning on folder sizes in Finder and reach for my copy of DaisyDisk instead. Nice reminder from Macrumors.

I dismantled the wood frame of our backyard rink this morning and I think my back is telling me that we won’t be doing a rink again next year. 😆😮‍💨

When I said I’d restart my email newsletter in 2024, I didn’t factor in the fact that I wouldn’t get around to doing it until 2025. So here we are. Sign up here for the reboot of “Life as a Lemon”.

It’s been a while since I’ve thought about what and why I’m posting where and when online. I just opened up Descript and recorded some thoughts off the top of my brain, which is super helpful to get a rough draft rather than starting with a page listing everything I could do online.

Screenshot of Descript recording transcription reading:  Ok Dokey Donkey. What? What am I doing?&10;&10;What is my home? On the internet is the blog post title maybe.&10;&10;So in order of things that I have on the internet, obviously I have my blog, chrisenns.com. I post micro blog, which then cross post blue sky mast on and threads ish. I have an email newsletter host on button down that I used to be good at posting once a month, once a week, maybe even now. I haven't posted in over a year.&10;&10;Uh, I have a Discord, various Discord communities I'm a part of that I post into and I'm, but also building, uh, one. Just for myself, maybe community kind of thing. I have various podcasts and ideas. I have various podcast ideas, littered across transistor fm. Thanks Justin. And I have an Instagram that I post to once a year if I'm lucky, and occasionally on stories when I'm bored.&10;&10;I've got my Twitch channel, lemon casting that I'm posting. On weekly ish and having fun with that. And then YouTube is sort of like a secondary home for whatever gets posted on Twitch. And then also other random tutorial videos that I make. So obviously my blog and vanity domain name chans.com should be my home base, but I don't love the way it ghost the CMS.&10;&10;I'm using handles emails and blog posts as sort of one thing, more or less if I wanna send an email to everyone who's subscribed to me. And says they wanna find out about me. I don't wanna have to think about how I'd write that as a blog post, which lives on the internet, even though at the end of the day, those are essentially the same things, just like a page on the internet link somewhere and packaged up into an email and sent to people, which is why I like sort of the separation of concerns of button down being the email newsletter thing.

I’m a #Fortnite influencer. 😝

A text message with various emojis and response options mentions buying a Battle Pass this morning.

Been cleaning house and yard most of the day and just sat down, and now I don’t think I’ll be getting up again. 😴
