Barry is such a great show. That’s it.

If, like me, you’ve only been seeing southern skies in Saskatoon and wondering what the storm warning is all about, might want to look out a north facing window. ☁️ 🌧️


It’s hot out (30C / 86F) which is a great time to trim the beard outside.

I’m going for a walk - anybody need anything while I’m out?


Each week when working in Final Cut Pro I inch closer and closer to that “continue” button on a Mac Studio, but then something happens like “a kid needs braces” or “credit card bill arrived” and I stop myself. #moneymoneymoney

A Apple store config page for the Mac Studio with an M1 Max, 10 core CPU, 32 core GPU, 64GB RAM, 1TB SSD for $3,499CAD + tax.

I have amazing clients who do include me in helping create their thing as much as they can, but there’s something about creating your own thing and putting it into the world that I miss when I’m deep in client work.

Doing dumb TikToks is a quick, temporary fix. 😊


Somehow this full set of the Harry Potter audiobooks made it past the crack legal team at Apple Podcasts. 😂 🧙‍♂️

I love that the internet has enabled someone like @craigmod to be able to do what he does. I don’t totally know what it is exactly that he does, but I still think it’s cool that he’s able to do it because of the internet.


Yet another reason I ❤️ @TransistorFM for podcast hosting - they now support importing ID3v2 chapter markers to episodes.

Screesnhot from Transistor podcast host admin page with a checkbox that reads: Automatically add ID3v2 chapters to show notes.

Unfortunately it’s on the cutting room floor, but “Survey Mon-kay” almost became the new “MailKimp”. 😝

Hey Siri reset the “number of days since Chris has had a jump scare from one of his kids standing next to him while he’s editing a podcast” counter to 0.


One thing I’ve really enjoyed about Only Murders in the Building (Hulu in the US, Disney+ here in Canada is how they incorporate podcasting as part of the storyline, but it isn’t the storyline. First season was great. Just started season two.


My hope for 2022 is that adults would take responsibility for their actions that have hurt or marginalized people - even if it wasn’t their intent. That empathy would win over pride. Clarity over half truths and lies. The powerful and inept would be broken. The weak made strong.


If you want to have a repeating task in Notion, do you still have to use a third party app to trigger that via the API? i.e. every Friday put a task back in the database to edit a ShopTalk Show episode.


I’ve talked with friends and family who all watch Netflix content regularly, and nobody has ever been aware that Netflix has games as part of their subscription offering - so it’s not surprising that 1 percent of subscribers use their games.


Luck, 2022 - ★★★
