Two interesting moments in this Matt Rife clip on his TikTok: 1) His explanation of why he posts crowd work clips on social media and not his original jokes. 2) Revealing how many people are experiencing a comedy show for the first time. So many new potential fans / customers he’s bringing in.

I didn’t realize until watching way too many tiktoks that some Americans actually use the phrase “cussing” when they’re talking about swearing at each other. I just thought it was an old-timey phrase, like in Fantastic Mr. Fox. 🦊

I feel like this example Chris Coyier blogged about trying to find a moment in a podcast he’d listened to could be the more interesting angle for AI / transcription tools to go after: podcast power users who want to find stuff in things they’ve listened to.

Nerds in 2013: “I buy so many domain names. It’s crazy. I’ve got like $200 in domain names right now I’m not using!”

Nerds in 2023: “I’ve got $5,000 worth of video and audio gear in my closet because I live streamed twice.”

It’s a silly thing, but I find it funny that Descript—an app that transcribes spoken word to text—doesn’t recognize it’s own name when spoken.

Screenshot from Descript of a transcript where it transcribed it’s own name as DSS script instead of Descript.

Show me your mug time! It’s a rainy morning over here, but 3/4 members of U2 are ready to rock. (Larry’s pouting in t he corner at the moment.)

Congrats on a new job - possibly in DevRel. Now please get yourself a good microphone for the podcasts you’re going to be a guest on.

Damien Rice finds out mid-concert about Sinead O’Connor passing away. Along with the audience he figures out a beautiful tribute of Nothing Compares 2 U.

Let’s do the old walk for the ole 🧠 matter.

A field of wheat growing with power lines running across it.

Anyone wanna go (does some weird math on his fingers) tensies on this small lake front property with me?

Who needs sleep?

The labelling feels a little off here. 😆

A dvd copy of “better than sex” is on a shelf just above the “childrens” label

Happy civic holiday day to most jurisdictions in Canada.

(Just rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it?)

Hey jet skis nobody likes you. You’re the lawn trimmer at 6am on the weekend of the lake.

Two dudes are each driving some form of jetski in shallow water

OH from across the lake as shouted by a kid on a tube behind a boat: “I’M IN A BAD POSITION!” 😝

I was mocked - mocked I say! - for my long weekend hair did. So now I’m posting it so the world can mock me too. “It looks like you tried to slick your hair back but failed.”

Selfie of me with unwashed hair sort of slicked back by a mixture of grease and make water.

I have to reset the clock on how many days it’s been since I freaked out my family by thinking the boat won’t start when actually I just forgot to put it in neutral. 😆 🤦‍♂️
