Arc continues to be my main web browser, but I have to say that when I read through the new AI based features they keep adding, I’m not seeing a huge use case for myself.


How Apple’s new Podcast Transcript feature works in the iOS 17.4 beta.

It’s been amazing to watch podcast transcriptions be an afterthought to being a standard feature that every app has to have now.


A reminder that a bunch of music is about to disappear from TikTok because corporations don’t like fun things and can’t agree on $$.


The two areas I miss most about working for someone else are: 1) Time off where someone covers your work for you, and 2) figuring out how much to charge a client for a service or product.


I wish more companies would equip their employees who go out and appear on podcasts with good mics and a decent recording space in home or in office.

It reflects on the company when someone is speaking on your behalf and they’ve got a crap mic.


Programming note: I’ve decided to wait on releasing my Vision Pro review until 5 years from now when I can justify paying for it.


Ooooh I was going to work up a Drafts process to do this, but now Micro.blog has a manual cross-posting to Threads tool while we wait for Threads to have an actual API to post to.


My first client hit 600 episodes this week and they spent it contemplating what the web will be like 12 years from now. Congrats Chris & Dave on 12 years + 600 episodes!


Cloudflare and other corporations deserve every bit of shaming for over hiring and then letting people go without admitting to their own mistakes.


I’ve been fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to work with clients in women’s health & fertility podcast space over the years, and I’m really thankful for the “forced” exposure to stories that my dumb man brain might not have heard or read otherwise.

So we go in there and we talk to him.  He said the qualifications were  three or more failed in vitros. And he goes, to be honest, ***, you weren't even on my mind for this. I was looking through my file looking for another woman, and I saw your folder, ***, and I remembered  three failed in Vitros.&10;&10;She qualifies and he looked down at ***  in the car seat. I still remember.  And he goes, you would get a free in vitro. I mean,  are you interested? And me and *** just looked at each other and we're like, oh my gosh. Like, are you kidding me?

The most I’ve ever laughed while using a computer is when Photo Booth first came out and we would pee our pants laughing at the stupid camera effects.


Is there a way to ensure your podcast isn’t sucked up by an AI machine learning monster?


The worst / best part about editing a bunch of different podcasts is wanting to interject into the conversation with my own thoughts, whether arguing or adding on to a good story.


We could all learn something about focus and planning from Jason Kelce figuring out how to make sure his shirt came off at his brother’s football game.


Did something change recently in how Google Drive calculates storage or file usage? I went from being under my 30GB plan to suddenly having 70GB in my Drive.


Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, 2023 - ★★★★

Ultra imax this time.


What’s actually absurd is that you can totally have this done right now, you just have to pay a human to do it. Man… that’s so frustrating! People are the worst!

Tweet from a tech bro reading: “Absurd that any podcast episodes I record aren't automatically transcribed, show-noted, chaptered, given custom episode art, chopped into shorts, and posted everywhere.”

Apple Tech Bloggers: “I can’t believe company X doesn’t have a native app for Vision Pro at launch?!?!”

Dude chill out. It’s currently a USA only, $3,500USD prestige item with limited supply. Instagram still hasn’t made a native iPad app. We got time.


The solo (maybe not just solo?) business owner circle of life:

  1. Oh no! Where are clients? Where are money?
  2. Oh no! Where is time? Where is rest?
  3. Return back to (1) and repeat until you die.

The “share sheet contact suggestions” thing has been really dumb lately. It shows me random people who’ve messaged me once on Instagram, but doesn’t show a family member I message almost daily. And of course the setting is all or nothing
