In case you’re wondering about the 🐶, he can still fit inside his toy basket but I suspect he’ll be too big by Xmas.
RIP iPod Nano and iPod Shuffle. I think parents would love an iPad nano style device with a basic GPS tracking feature built in so kids could listen to music or podcasts, and do some sort of of basic messaging.
If you’re wanting to “smart” up your garage door opener without needing a whole new opener, this Refoss Smart Wi-Fi garage door opener is on sale. I picked one up last time it was on sale and it works great - HomeKit support too for Apple nerds.
Modern social media is like having a different coffee shop or restaurant you go to with 15 different people you’re close enough to that you’d meet. But no matter how hard you try, you can never get all 15 people to agree to go to the same place at once.
Pestle, Crouton, and Paprika are the main recipe apps I’m aware of for iOS / macOS. Anyone using something else these days they love? We’ve been a Paprika household forever, but the interface is feeling quite dated in 2024.
First time in my podcast editing career that someone was having contractions while recording the podcast. 🎉 (No word on whether they’ve had the baby yet!)
Me for most of my life: “That’s rude, my parents didn’t offer to pay for the food I picked up for us.” Me when my kid offers to pick up McDs just now: “Sure! I’ll send you the $10 for my order. Thanks!”
The #circleoflife hits you pretty hard some days. Elton John was right.
Work from home protip: If you’re feeling annoyed and irritated at all the things, double check the time and ask yourself if you remembered to eat lunch today.
The way Matt Mullenweg appears to be burning down all of WordPress' goodwill, it’s triggering the way I felt when Musk burnt down Twitter and wrote this: Building something valuable is really, really hard. But tearing it all down is piss easy.
I’m thankful for ppl like Stephen Robles who shows all the fun stuff that can be done with iOS 18 that I know I’ll never get around to figuring out. 😊
What’s the word for when you text someone a question that has no urgency or time sensitivity to it, and they reply as if you’ve been watching your phone waiting for their response?
“Sorry at the dr will reply when I’m home.” -> me asking how their trip last week was.
If the puppy keeps getting himself stuck under the chairs in my office, do I get rid of the chairs or the puppy? Asking for a puppy named Neville. 😆
Josh Collinsworth has a great take on the whole #WordPress / Matt Mullenweg / WP Engine mess… with a conclusion I 100% agree with. joshcollinsworth.com/blog/fire…
With Chartable, a podcast analytics app, being shut down by Spotify after they acquired it 2 years ago (who saw that coming??), Dan at Bumper has some good options for what should you use instead..
Would you believe that 2 weeks in to puppy ownership, my kids are shocked that they have to help take care of said puppy? Who could have seen this coming??? 😆
WordPress Vs. WP Engine? It Doesn’t Matter. It’s Bad For The Internet. #WordPress shouldn’t be in the news this much.
