I’ve found the key to running a successful business—particularly as a solo entrepreneur—anytime business is slow, make a schedule with your family of how you’re going to help out more with your free time.

It brings new and former clients out of the woodwork like magic!

Hang out with Tim and I around 1:45pm CST / 2:45pm EST as he joins me to ask questions about setting up a new podcast. Join us on YouTube or Twitch today.

Based off this teaser trailer, I’m glad it seems like Nintendo decided to do more of the same, just upgraded everything for the Switch 2.

Oh look… there’s more to yet another Matt Mullenweg behaving like a giant man-baby story. I am so surprised.

I don’t think CoPilot is ok. (This was the suggestion in a fairly empty text document.)

A screenshot of VS Code with CoPilot’s suggestion being a full screen of “ I’m not sure what I’m feeling. I’m not sure what I’m thinking. I’m not sure what I’m saying. I’m not sure what I’m doing.” over and over and over.

I kind of wish TikTok would publish USA user numbers vs the rest of the world and say… “meh - we’re actually going to be fine without you” 😆

The way a teenager can text “What are we doing for supper?” and it has nothing to do with “how can I help figure out supper” and everything to do with “is it worth it to skip a stop at McD’s on my way home today?”

I think Shortcuts on iOS / macOS are amazing, and I’m glad it’s a feature Apple continues to support.

I also 100% forget to ever use them. Which is why I’m glad Stephen Robles puts out videos reminding me about cool Shortcuts.

Bluesky has finally arrived: “Switch 2” is trending. 😆

Yeah sure - Matt Mullenweg can be trusted and this childish act of kicking people out so they will go fork WordPress - he’s become the internet’s biggest man-baby which is saying a lot.

😆 Your TikTok China assigned spy saying goodbye. (TikTok link, duh.)

He fell asleep like this so I guess I’m stuck here forever

I despise the way Meta is washing their hands of content moderation—and have to think they love that it’s “Meta” in the headlines, not “Facebook” or “Instagram”—but I like that a site like MacStories can choose to stop using them as a result.

These cold call emails with a “private video looking at your website” where it’s so obviously a mashed up quick screen recording of someone at my website with generic sales pitch video are why I hate sales and don’t trust anybody. 😆

From my archives (way back in… 2020?) - I still get a kick out of seeing someone watch / hear U2 for the first time.

And that she picked a concert video filmed in Ireland, at Slane Castle, a few days after Bono’s dad passed away just adds to energy of the crowd and band.

It feels so bizarre to look out my window and see a white, frozen arctic tundra landscape while I also read and see the devastation being caused by wildfires in California. Hope friends out west stay safe and are able to evacuate if needed, with minimal damage to homes.

New blog post: My Social Media Timeline. It’s nothing particularly new in thought, just my annual(ish) reflection on time spent in the social media waters.

I was listening to The Daily’s episode on Justin Trudeau stepping down and they ended by implying that progressive politics is on the way out… which felt like a weird way to frame a world still reverberating from the effects of a global pandemic we haven’t dealt with.
