Thanks to the impending snowpocalypse this weekend, the hockey tournament has been rescheduled. Dang. Now I have a free weekend. What to do? (Besides shovelling snow.)
My Friday $0.02 inspired by Monday’s ShopTalk Show: Don’t ask for ratings or reviews for your podcast, ask people to link to your podcast from their blog.
Good lord this NextDoor man comparing his grandpa’s stolen tractor to what happened with Residential Schools in Canada to the First Nations people and how everyone needs to get over it. Get me off this ride.
Do you need a video version of your podcast on YouTube or do you just need to submit your podcast via RSS to YouTube so people can subscribe there?
I’ll ditto stamp everything Dave says here about how to get on a podcast and only add: please invest in a good mic so the smart things you have to share can be heard well. 😆
Random brain fart: I wish I could go back and enjoy another weekend LAN part playing Warcraft 3 for the first time with friends.
I really hope the Ghost crew are crafting a “we’ll never sell your stuff to AI” message right now.
It’s oddly comforting how services like Micro.blog just have to keep existing as they are, and the competition will keep imploding around them. Like Matt Mullenweg apparently went on sabbatical and has managed to tank WordPress and Tumblr’s otherwise shiny reputation among web nerds.
Not that I really wondered, but great to see that Micro.blog has no interest in owning or selling user data.
So many Wix sites using what I assume are their stock templates or themes still have the default FB / IG / Twitter social links on them.
All that free SEO for Wix from small businesses around the world.
It’s as predictable as Lucy pulling the football away from Charlie Brown: Apple isn’t in to video games for the long haul, they just want the PR for the idea of it.
“How to make faceless content on TikTok and generate thousands of dollars a month” is the new side hustle I’m seeing a bunch of. 🤢
I had the opportunity to play bass again this week (I’m normally a guitar player), and it always amazes me how different a skill set it is from guitar. It’s somehow more relaxing to play, while also having so much to learn.
I’m checking out a “record a voicemail so I can respond to it on my podcast” app—send me your thoughts or AMA.
The ability to unlock my computer automatically with the Apple Watch is a more important invention than the Vision Pro.
Costco Canada heads up: a recall on eggs with potential salmonella issues. It feels like a huge waste for them to toss so many eggs (I assume?), but also not worth the health risk obviously.
