Before you decide you want to build a business around editing and producing podcasts, you need to really think about how much you enjoy listening to music while you work - because that just can’t happen when you’re editing podcasts. 😊😢🎻

I resonate with a lot of Tsh Oxenreider’s reasoning behind her annual break from the internet. I wish my work didn’t so easily pull me online, but it doesn’t have to.

Cool to see she’s also on Micro.blog.

👋 to any @syntaxfm listeners hearing my voice for the first time today, and I’m sorry for spelling Kubbeernnettes, JavaZcript, and SuperBass wrong. 😉

Feedbin, the RSS reader / sync app I use, announced a new podcast app. V1 looks to be fairly basic, but it syncs via my already existing @Feedbin account which is nice.

How much money do you think Landmark Cinema makes per year by turning their otherwise simple website into trash because of Google Ads?

While at the cabin this weekend, I randomly turned on Bob’s Burgers S01E01 for the first time and the family laughed more than we have collectively at anything else in recent memory. E02 wasn’t as funny. Is it worth going down the burger hole on this show?

I really enjoy putting something topical in the Notion page header image location, but this is by far my favorite one that makes me smile every time I load the page.

A Notion page labelled “Quotes” has a screengrab from Hamilton of Lin Manuel Miranda looking down in the screenshot with someone in front of the tv holding up a phone making it look like Miranda is looking out of the video on to someone’s phone.

I’m sure DuckDNS is a perfectly safe and normal Government of Canada domain they use for totally legit purposes.

Anyone who’s read “Where the Crawdads Sing” and seen the movie - is it worth going back to read the book after seeing the movie?

Me: Business goals? Well I’d like to be successful enough that I could play Breath of the Wild on a live stream once a week so people could help me finally finish it.

Clerk: Sir, this is a Wendy’s.

Late night draft: Instagram and other apps have destroyed the word Story which used to be something passed on down generations, and is now a thing that disappears after 24 hours.

BeReal is obviously passing some sort of inflection point where other apps are now referencing it for marketing.

Why did Apple’s weather app do an amazing job of notifying me about rain while we were out in the middle of nowhere, Saskatchewan, but now that I’m in the city it has no clue what the current weather is? ☔️

I dig how Descript uses their own tool to display employee testimonials on their careers page.

Not much more rock ‘n roll than listening to Welcome to the Jungle while driving through the suburbs in a minivan. 🤘🏽
