The only Blue Jays playoff game I’ve watched this playoffs was when they got stomped by the Mariners so you can thank me for not turning it on tonight. 😝

John Candy: I Like Me, 2025 - ★★★★½

Watched on Friday October 24, 2025.

I love how just when I was beginning to wonder if Audio Hijack / Loopback from Rogue Amoeba weren’t long for this world, another productivity nerd discovers them and reminds everyone about how powerful they are.

I found an app combo that makes my audio quality basically perfect in every app – OBS, Zoom, whatever.&10;&10;1. Audio Hijack – lets me add effects to my actual mic input&10;2. Loopback – turns the output from Audio Hijack into a virtual input device&10;&10;This lets you use the virtual device as your input in any other app. You can even set it as your whole system's default input.&10;&10;Result: Perfect audio at the time of recording, in any app.&10;&10;I went down a rabbit hole to set this up because I was tired of my Loom recordings sounding so much worse than my YouTube videos.&10;&10;But this also solved issues in OBS, which doesn't support all of my audio plugins for some reason.&10;&10;I'm so pleased the result that I had to shoot a little video on it:

I cancelled my Flexbits subscription today. It’s only $7/month for a great Calendar app, but something has to give with every single app or service increasing in price.

5 different services (and counting) that I use that I’ve gotten “we value your support and understand it’s a hard time to do this, but we have to raise prices”.

Which is fair for them to ask. But also a good time for me to evaluate whether I need said services or not.

Got Neville a new chew toy from Costco today. He refused to let me see it long enough to join in my #selfie. Rude.

Also apparently I either missed a day or miscounted. Jumping from 63 to 65.

A person with glasses lies on a shaggy rug next to a fluffy dog.

This is a good song. That Brandi Carlile is some kind of singer, hey? Solo or duet she blends so well.

Headphones, mic, guitars.

A person wearing headphones and glasses is speaking into a microphone, with a guitar hanging on the wall behind them.

The most interesting thing to me about OpenAI launching an AI browser is that they’re on macOS first (and only) for now:

ChatGPT Atlas is launching on the Mac to begin with, and versions for iOS, Android, and Windows will be coming in the near future.

My family (mainly Sue) gets nervous whenever I use the instant pot because they think I’m going to open it up too soon and blow up our house. Not this time! Survived another soup making experience.

New kitchen floor mat / stove cleaner is always in the way when I want to get my bread out of the toaster.

Back at the rink for hockey again. Still has the same smell. We just get to come later now that my kid is in U18. 😴

A person wearing glasses and a cap is seated inside a vehicle, with a slight smile and ambient lighting.

I like my coffee to be asspirational.

A bag of Kicking Horse Coffee labeled Jolly Ass, featuring dark roast organic whole bean coffee with tasting notes of dark chocolate, toasty, and jubilant, is placed on a countertop next to a Cosori appliance.
