How many times am I going to forget about taking my #selfie until right before bed? Probably at least half of them.

Crazy sunset.

New episode of Build Your SaaS coming soon. 🎉 I’m just glad to know Jon Buda is still alive. I was getting worried that Justin had Weekend at Bernie’d him at this point.😆 #podcasting

Two men wearing headphones are having a conversation in a video call, with one appearing more casually dressed while the other wears a patterned shirt.

A petty annoyance I have with people who restart their blog in 2025 is how almost every one of them seems to think they’re the first one to contemplate restarting their blog in 2025.

To misquote Sam Reich from Game Changer, blogs (and RSS) have been here the whole time!


A frame from earlier today when I was recording a thing will have to do for my #selfie a day for a year, day 24, Sep 11, 2025 edition.

A man wearing a cap and glasses is speaking into a microphone in a room with a chair and wall art.

What do ShopTalk Show listeners think—should we slow jam the intro music more often? 😆


I just published a new episode of my podcast called “3 Quick Things: Threads, New iPhones, and Violence in the USA Bleeds Everywhere”. 🎧


In the big picture of parenting, this is relatively minor. But having to talk to my kids about avoiding videos of real violence that could appear in their feeds or be shared by friends was a sucky conversation to have last night. I sometimes wish we could mute #America up here.



Dog tired for my #selfie a day for a year, day 23?, Sep 10, 2025 edition.

This may only make sense to my brain, but Twitch is macOS, YouTube is Windows. I don’t know why. Anyway, I think creating clips of your fav streamer is a neat feature of #Twitch that more people should know how to do… so here’s my video on how to create clips of your fav Twitch streamer.


One reason why I recommend Rogue Amoeba suite of audio apps for macOS users is because they’re excellent at keeping their apps up to date with all the latest macOS changes. Their audio editor, Fission, gets a face lift for macOS 26.


I disagree with Gruber: I think tech CEOs are paid appropriately enough to prepare for a supper with Trump, knowing by now that almost anything could happen and that at minimum, they’ll be expected to kiss his orange ring at any moment with 4K cameras watching.


Without context or any details available to you: what should I do next?


Some days I wish I was a farmer so I knew to keep driving the combine around the field until it was all done.

Working for myself it’s sometimes difficult to know what the next right thing to do is.

It’s my #selfie a day for a year, day 22, Sep 9, 2025 edition.

Orange times call for orange iPhones?

Trump with Tim Cook holding a iPhone 17 Pro orange model that’s been photoshopped into his hands overtop of the gaudy Apple art that Tim Cook presented to Trump in the Oval Office earlier this year.


No better time than right now Monday at midnight to order a new iPhone.


The poor dog named Neville Dogbottom some trolls on Threads think I have no business owning because I didn’t love having to clean his poop out of his crate at 5 in the morning. 😆

Time for today’s #selfie a day for a year, day 21, Sep 8, 2025 edition.

Selfie of me, a man with a hat, glasses, and a beard, bent over to include a golden doodle puppy named Neville Dogbottom in the photo. We’re outside on a walk on a sunny, fall day.

I have a lot of sympathy for folks who are getting a surprise (to them) price hike on their Kit email newsletter sending subscription costs. But thinking that moving to a different app will fix the issue of costs when that app is likely to raise prices too in 3-6 months too is very short sighted.
