Just declaring that these vocal tracks bear no resemblance to any person, living or dead, in case any legal nutters go after one of my clients. 😆

Still kind of surprised that Apple is fine with this for negative temperatures on their nightstand mode for iPhone.

The Vinyl Cafe lives on in another generation thanks to my youngest’s teacher. 😊


Happy Apple Intelligence Day to Canada (and 5 other countries outside the US).

Maybe you’ve heard of “software as a service” or SAAS businesses. While editing a client’s podcast I heard the term “cybercrime as a service” business. Because of course there is. And I’m sure CAAS is a booming industry to get into.

Die Hard is a sequel to Love Actually where Emma Thompson hired Bruce Willis to hunt down Alan Rickman but make it look like Rickman is part of a terrorist plot… is a thing I learned via TikTok.


Somebody is upset that I won’t let him bark at people who have the audacity to go out their own front doors and get in and out of their vehicles.

Growing Sideways by Noah Kahan is absolutely a Christmas song:

“And I divvied up my anger into thirty separate parts Keep the bad shit in my liver and the rest around my heart I’m still angry at my parents for what their parents did to them But it’s a start.” - Let’s open the stockings!
