I feel like Ghost’s default setting of sending an email for every new post is too much. So I think for now I’ll turn off the newsletter functionality so I don’t feel pressure to make every blog post worthy of an inbox appearance. 🥵

New post on the ‘ole blogging machine: The Daily on a Potential Trump 2.0

I’ve never heard the term “paper microwave” to describe a printer before, but thanks to TikTok I now will be using that term exclusively.

End of an era: we sold off the trampoline we’ve owned for almost 10 years. There will be a giant circle shaped hole in the backyard this year.

One plus is less to move when I mow the grass. 😂

Having kids who make you good breakfast (not in bed) is pretty nice when it happens.

A plate with piece of toast, a bowl of oatmeal, and a cup of coffee on a table.

I’ve got an iPhone 13 Pro and have no need or reason to upgrade except for the way I have to jiggle the cable to make a connection to charge it.

New on my blog: The Little Mermaid at Persephone Theatre

STAY AWAY FROM MY CO-HOST! Perfect video. No notes.

Would I get more done if I deleted TikTok and Instagram and Threads and Twitter and Mastodon from my life?

Yes.

Thanks for coming to my Tedtalk.

Tech bloggers cheering on the US TikTok ban have no clue the level of connection and community that people of all ages have made on the app. Not just “the kids” by any means.

How Twitter was used as the town square by tech in the 2010’s, except TikTok is everybody.

If you use iZotope RX 10 and have been wondering why it messes with your sample rate, you might need to update to the latest version.

I have to fight the “maybe if I buy something new, I’ll feel better” urge every morning.

“Maybe a house of HomePod mini’s will cure me?” 😆

I’ve gotten the privilege to edit Marie Poulin & Ben Borowski’s podcast, Grief & Pizza.

If you’re interested in Notion, work / home systems, or creating content in general, I’d recommend subscribing wherever you get your podcasts.

A bunch of web based recording apps for podcasters are going to end up pulling a Dropbox and add a whole bunch of features nobody wants.

Podcasters want a 100% reliable, high quality recording app. That’s it. Do that and you’ll have our money forever.

I don’t think it’s healthy for me (or society in general) to know that people stop watching a video of me talking after 2 seconds. 😆

I should stick to podcasting where there’s way less analytics available to punish my ego with.

Analytics on a tiktok video posted to my account that says “Most viewers stopped watching at 0:02. Play the video below to see when they lost interest.”

I can’t tell for sure but I think I may have exported at the wrong resolution ratio?

A clip from Screenflow exported where i look really wide and squished, very obviously a vertical video exported as wide format.

I think I’d buy new Apple TV hardware if the only feature was listed as “it’s aware if you’re watching the game that’s tied in the third period so doesn’t send you a notification about the game you’re currently watching.”

I think “For All Mankind” is a great series, but I hear almost no one talking about it. I kind of assume it’s got low ratings, but a new season plus a spin-off says otherwise.
