I don’t think it’s healthy for me (or society in general) to know that people stop watching a video of me talking after 2 seconds. šŸ˜†

I should stick to podcasting where there’s way less analytics available to punish my ego with.

Analytics on a tiktok video posted to my account that says ā€œMost viewers stopped watching at 0:02. Play the video below to see when they lost interest.ā€

I can’t tell for sure but I think I may have exported at the wrong resolution ratio?

A clip from Screenflow exported where i look really wide and squished, very obviously a vertical video exported as wide format.

I think I’d buy new Apple TV hardware if the only feature was listed as ā€œit’s aware if you’re watching the game that’s tied in the third period so doesn’t send you a notification about the game you’re currently watching.ā€


I think “For All Mankind” is a great series, but I hear almost no one talking about it. I kind of assume it’s got low ratings, but a new season plus a spin-off says otherwise.



I remain undefeated in setting up ways to contact me about my podcast editing work, and then never checking in to see if anyone has contacted me.

This time it was my šŸ‹ biz’s Facebook page I think? šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø


My advice to someone in a reasonably serious relationship: buy the flowers (or whatever the equivalent is for your person) more often than not. Just do it. Don’t overthink the money, occasion, or reason.

Life is way too short not to just buy the flowers.


ā€œUnbreakable?ā€ my kids say with skepticism.

A light switch face plate with ā€œunbreakableā€ on the packaging.

We’re not getting a dog! (If you’re my kids, keep scrolling!)

Ok now that they’re gone: if you have a dog, how did you decide on a breed or mix to get? Latest we seem to be moving towards is some sort of labradoodle / Aussiedoodle mix?

Not getting one though. Obviously.


TV audio question: I’d rather not have to deal with speakers everywhere + and expensive amp to get decent sound for movies or video games.

We tried a soundbar a few years ago and couldn’t fix audio / video sync issues. Has it gotten better? Did we just get a dud?



It’s the most wonderful time of the year. šŸŽ‰ I’m talking about the first two rounds of the NHL playoffs starting this weekend, naturally.

What were you thinking I was talking about?


I grew up feeling like I’m not supposed to be ā€œloudā€ about things I really enjoy. (that’s for a therapy session), so now I love when people get excited about an album, movie, book, poem, painting, tv series, etc. and share that excitement with the world in some way.



New blog post that’s mainly for me 6 months from now when I forget I figured this out: Ghost Redirects Error on Upload.


What the heck was that Survivor? No spoilers but somehow both the best episode and worst at the same time?


New blog post: ✨ Stephen Robles with Apple TV Tips ✨


I haven’t seen it yet, but the entire internet has been telling me to watch Hundreds of Beavers, so it’s on my Letterboxd watch list now.


New blog post: Where Did Everyone Go?


I’m not sure which of these is the right option for importing an RSS feed from another blog into my micro.blog? Ideally it would just post to my timeline with the title and link to the actual blog post (on my Ghost blog for example). Any suggestions? @help
