iOS 16 could’ve implemented this one setting for Photos and I would’ve said it’s a worthwhile upgrade. I’d never considered just using Shortcuts to automatically change orientation lock each time you open or close Photos. It’s brilliant.
One downside to running the public iOS beta all summer is it makes the today’s official release day a lot less exciting. At least there’s the annual iOS review by @viticci to dig into.
How much Google juice boost does a link in a moderately popular podcast’s episode notes actually mean in 2022? Setting aside usability or listener benefit - just for the actual site being linked to. #coldmedbrainquestions
When everything else in the world feels messed up, I can always count on the @ShopTalkShow banjo intro at the start of my edit to put me in a better mood than when I started. Just go create something is so therapeutic for my brain.

I’m not trying to judge anyone, but a whole bunch of people are going to go from “I’m so busy I can’t keep up” to suddenly finding time to watch 7,000 hours of coverage about the life and death of #QueenElizabeth.
Happy 11th birthday to my 🍋 baby, @lemonproduction. You’ve grown from “what am I even doing?”, through the awkward early years of “WordPress, PHP, and social media maybe?”, and now entering your second decade as a confident “podcast and related things”… thing? 🎉🎂
Companies that sponsor podcasts - you know how much you love it when users of your product pay for a year in advance so you have one transaction instead of twelve? Do the same for the podcasts you support - sign up for a couple months. Half a year even! Save paperwork! :)
Since it’s the last day before school begins, today I’ll be using the excellent ScoreKeeper iOS app to track how many times each of my kids interrupts me throughout the day.
If you’d like to place your bets, I’ve got 3 kids. 😂
As weird as it is to think about when you’re in the midst of it, one day you’ll change your kid’s diaper or fold up their toddler clothes for the last time and you might not even realize it.

Where on earth did Snapchat get the idea to add a dual camera photo at the same time? I just can’t BeReal it’s happening!?! (Also pour one out for the OG of this, Frontback.)
It’s all quiet across the lake tonight except for the boat blasting something about “slappa dat ass”, and the group arguing about Moe handing out money to distract from what’s really going on. #momentofzen
Editing podcasts takes twice as long when your kids are watching “2,230 things you missed during She-Hulk” videos from @NewRockstars. 😂
Nodding along to Matt’s podcast guide for 2022. I may swap out a few apps for different brands, but otherwise it’s great how easy it is to podcast in 2022.
It seems fitting that on a client’s podcast episode called “Learning from Our Mistakes”, I would make a mistake while exporting and have to re-do it. 😂
