If I hadn’t just switched invoicing systems, I’d be hopping on to Studioworks right now after hearing Chris Shiflet & Jessica Hische talk about it on The ShopTalk Show this week. As it is, I still might switch anyway just because I love their vision for it.
If AI can do this, why would you ever take another selfie again?
“Tsin’t molrning ‘ree tnal for?” is so true. I appreciate that it filled in the 9.8K likes the photo is surely going to get. 😆 #Horyupes #TechLife #CoderLife
If Pluribus on AppleTV+ is moving too slowly for you, maybe take a break from TikTok or Reels? 😜 I’m enjoying the pacing and slow reveal each week of another layer or two of how the world is working.
We’re supposedly going from -40C last night to +5C on Tuesday. That’s a pretty swing. And my kid continues to rock the crocs in both extremes. 😆

I feel like every generation has to come to a point with whatever social media app they grew up on where they realize “oh dang… I should’ve put all the energy into my own website instead of Zuckerberg’s.”
The spoilers feature on Threads is awesome when it’s used for actual spoilers on TV / movie / etc. But it’s mostly used for “I’m going to try and get you to click on the hidden text to get more engagement on my generic post” algorithm crap so it becomes useless.
In my “you should start to blog” post from yesterday, somehow my brain completely skipped over suggesting Micro.blog, which is where I write these little posts that get cross-posted and federated out to other sites. Starting at just $1/month, it’s a great option for blogging + social posting.
A 10m walk with Neville is all I could do this morning. I was not dressed for that kind* of weather.
(*the same kind we have every winter where it feels like -25C)
Waiting for my youngest kid so we can head home in all the fresh snow.

New blog post: You should start a blog now (or later)
Don’t feel bad if you’re struggling to figure out how to fund your podcast. The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers published an episode of their podcast with 25* ad reads just so they could keep it going and they’re rich and famous.
(*slight exaggeration but not fair off)
This week’s “Life as a Lemon” newsletter started off a little 💩, but it ended on a high note. I think? Issue 32 is out now.
Tomorrow’s Life as a 🍋 newsletter is all scheduled and ready to go. You can subscribe here if you’d like some tart thoughts from a Canadian podcast nerd (that’s me) in your inbox most Tuesdays.
Jingle Bell Heist, 2025 - ★½
The best thing about watching a movie like this is it helps me appreciate good heist movies and not just anyone can make one.
