If you’re putting off calling the dentist to book an appointment for you or a kid, just know that I finally made the call after delaying for a week and it took less than 3 minutes and now it’s done.
Procrastinators unite! 😆
It sure is neat how we’ve had warmer weather and then get a day floating just below zero where it’s melting but also freezing, and then tonight it will definitely freeze and apparently throw a nice layer of snow on top of the layer of ice.
Driving or walking will be ✨magical✨ tomorrow.
While vacuuming I can’t help thinking about how much better this would be if I was wearing a Vision Pro and didn’t have to be alone with my thoughts for so long.
I honestly love the evil villain move TikTok is pulling right now. Just as everyone is finally doing vertical video and admitting it’s the way, TikTok is rewarding creators who publish full width, landscape videos now.
Brilliant.
Thing that kind of breaks my brain: Someday somebody’s first, and maybe only, experience of a computer will be a Vision Pro (or something like that).
It’s a pretty ballsy move for Arc to say “skip the Google middleman with search engine ads” using a browser built on Google’s open source browser engine.
Just in time: Wordle 957 2/6
🟧⬛🟧⬛🟧 🟧🟧🟧🟧🟧 (I only share good scores. Assume I usually get it in 5 or more.)
What is happening?
Farmer sausage and pierogis for supper (if I can find them in the freezer). And then instead of watching Mandy Patinkin be delightfully weird in ep2 of Death and Other Details, I think I’ll freeze my butt in a hockey rink.
How about you?
Growth hacking your podcast has it’s place I suppose, but I love the chill vibe of Dave’s I used to listen to your podcast post. “It’s important we celebrate the Thrill of Missing Out.”
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.
