If I showed up at your house with this, would you (a) drink it or (b) throw it back in my face?

PEANUT BUTTER & Strawberry Jelly LATTE

iOS 16 beta is great so far EXCEPT for the fact that they changed the position of where “paste” is when you copy/paste text. Or am I remembering it wrong already?

Screenshot of the paste pop up dialogue in iOS 16 public beta with Paste Select and Select All as the options, in that order from left to right.

Anecdotally speaking if you’re outside for 30 minutes, it’ll take you ~45m to cool off enough to be able to wear headphones to edit podcasts. 55 minutes if you were walking with a 4L jug of milk on your back. 😂


Everything is made up and the points don’t matter.

Just a reminder that social media posts and stories don’t represent the entirety of a person you follow on social media. It’s a glimpse into part of their day, an emotion they felt for a fleeting second, filtered and edited, or something they did months ago that they’re presenting as current. Or it might be completely made up. Rarely can you know why they posted it. And your guess is very likely wrong. Unless you’re in conversation with them semi-regularly, you don’t really know them or what they think about a specific issue, event, or thing.

Speaking personally, I’m always open to conversations about what I have posted as long as you remember I don’t take things very seriously on social media - except for the things I do. 😆

I’ve been on twitter since 2006 and playing on the internet since way before that. It’s where everything is made up and the points don’t matter. Something you think is so important today, you won’t even remember 2 years from now. And in 5 years it will be wiped off the internet after the corporations have bought and sold our content into oblivion.

So have fun!

#StrangerThings spoiler: I completely missed this 3 inch rule call back at the end. 😢


Dynamic Ad Insertion Issues Continue

If you’re outside the US, you’re no doubt familiar with podcast hosts saying “we’ll be right back…” and expecting an advert only for nothing to happen and the podcast to start right back up again. That’s dynamic ad insertion at “work”. See this thread from Marco:


My plan of hiding my wife’s laptop power cord worked perfectly. ☕️😋

Messages screenshot with “Forgot my power cord at home. Incoming treat!” Starbucks iced coffee drink with a sticker on it for *Chris*.


In running a business, it’s still so easy to get distracted by how I compare to other podcast production / editing companies. I look at a portfolio and think “Why can’t I do that?” and then I remember to look at their /about/ page and see 30+ people listed. 😆


iOS 16’s ability to press and copy a person or thing from a photo is pretty magical. Even my new profile pic works pretty well. 😆

Peanut butter and honey sandwiches + a smoothie are my lunch plans for the summer. Any questions?


Re: public iOS 16 beta. If I’m not worried about my iPhone having bugs but am about macOS, can I install the iOS public beta to mess around with it even if I don’t install the macOS 13 public beta?


Instagram now allows you to stream with 3rd party apps (OBS, Ecamm, etc.) to Instagram Live. Details here.


It was just going to be nachos for supper. But then I remembered we had leftover pulled pork in the fridge so now it’s fancy nachos. 🤤


#StrangerThings is the only show in recent memory that makes me want to do that quick run up the stairs after turning all the lights out because something is chasing after me. 😆 😱


How cute is this mini cast iron skillet?
