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.

I hope Tim Cook and Tim Epic Games Guy are happy that they had their big lawyer fight and so now I can’t join my kids in playing LEGO Fortnite on my $3,500 Mac Studio.

🍋 A quick reminder of my weekly newsletter I send out. Here’s the most recent issue to read and decide if it’s worth signing up for.


Kids can be annoying and frustrating and exhausting… yes. But sometimes they make delicious muffins you get to enjoy with your coffee. 🤤

I hadn’t realized that by choosing to work from home, I’d also signed up to be my mom’s delivery drop off location. 😆

Contract negotiation tip: If you promise a cheeseburger for a goal, figure out in advance what happens if your kid gets a hat trick. 🍔🍔🍔


We’re currently using a 3GB / 30 day data plan with Public Mobile for our oldest. Anyone have better Canadian mobile rates for their kids?


Instead of sending my newsletter on Friday like usual, I sent it on Saturday morning just like I totally planned to do. Here’s this week’s issue if you’re curious, or want to sign up. 🍋🎉


With today’s updates to Final Cut Pro + Logic Pro, it feels like Apple is trying to show their commitment to both audio and video platforms.


Can I get a Logic Pro Wrapped 2023 because that would show all the podcast episodes I’ve listened / edited? 😆


I’m sure they’ve done the math, but I honestly feel like Costco would sell a lot more jumbo muffins (to me) if I didn’t have to buy 24 at a time. 12 is probably enough jumbo muffins for a family of 5 to have in the freezer.


I think it speaks to the chaos within Apple that they have the Apple Music app (macOS + iOS) AND they own the hardware (iPhone) AND they make a “story” style portrait version of your Music Replay… but AFAIK there’s no way to export that to share it?


Just a reminder before you sign up for Substack alongside a bunch of Nazis to write your newsletter, there are a bunch of other options.

Now you can’t say you didn’t know.


I’m at a hockey rink and I resisted getting rink fries. Please clap for me.

I managed to score the 2x multiplier in life this morning with a) youngest forgetting their instrument so I had to scrape off the truck to run it over, and b) walked into the school just as announcements + Oh Canada is starting so have to stand awkwardly in the hallway and wait for it to finish.


I meet all 3 of those criteria. I guess I should respond. 😂

Photo of a dm on TikTok reading Hello. Nice to meet you. I think you're funny. I like traveling, shopping and listening to music. I hope we can become friends. If you are a gentleman, speak English and are over 20 years old.&10;You can add my telegram:

We tried going to see The Marvels today and the projector wasn’t working. They tried for an hour to fix, and eventually sent us away with 2 free tickets each. On the plus side, we got to watch the Planet of the Apes trailer twice?
