Pre-2023: How easy is it to spell your domain name or brand?
2023 and beyond: How easy is it for the AI bots to transcribe someone saying your domain name or brand?
TIL today: Raycast has a clipboard history manager built in that I haven’t been taking advantage of.
Any favorite iOS apps for drink recipes? Years ago I used to use Cocktail Flow, but it’s gone premium monthly subscription and I’m a cheap Mennonite drinker. 😆
“This is the year of video in podcasting” might actually finally be true for 2024. More and more of my clients are asking for video - snippets at least - than ever have before. Full video shows often fizzle out when the time / $ start to add up, but maybe it’ll be different this year?
No fire in our fireplace this morning, but gotta give them credit for the expiry date being accurate.
I’m begging a company to just try making a really good dumb tv in 2024 and see how it sells. Apple does fairly well in other areas like this. I think it could work in tv.
🍋 It’s late Friday afternoon somewhere, so here’s a reminder of the weekly newsletter I send out. The most recent issue just went to inboxes but you can check it out and decide if it’s worth signing up for.

It’s all kinds of messed up here. No snow. +5C in December. Feels like fall but it’s less than 2 weeks until Xmas. I’m caught up on work, but feel like I’m forgetting 10 things.
I probably need more eggnog.
Found this quote said by my youngest a year ago that’s still true today: “At least when you were a kid you didn’t have to deal with Elon Musk.” 😆
“The Year Twitter Died” from The Verge is worth a visit for some bizarro web design vibes and storytelling.
The key to being able to eat a lot of cheese over the holidays is to slice it really thin. The thinner the cheese, the less fatty it is. Thus you can eat more cheese. 🎯
I really have no idea why The Marvels didn’t do better in theatres. It was fun, light, and didn’t drag everything out with mountains of superhero exposition babble. Iman Vellani as Ms. Marvel is a breath of uncynical enthusiastic fresh air.
Plus the flerkens.
The Marvels, 2023 - ★★★½ (contains spoilers)
This review may contain spoilers.
I don’t know why this isn’t doing better? It’s a fun superhero movie in a 90 minute run time, with some heartfelt payoffs for the past and fun set ups of future characters.
I’m convinced they could re-release Beatles Rock Band and make $$$ again with the same exact game. Every generation of gamers needs a Rock Band guitar in their kit.
