I got a meshtastic radio today and have been playing around with it. I’ve picked up 10 nodes near me. Not sure what to do next.

My dog had a vet appointment today for his annual check-up/shots. He got 4 shots today and poor guy is feeling it.

Overcast has been pretty bad for a long time. I’m not in love with Pocketcasts because it has a lot of issues too. I would really consider Apple Podcasts if they actually allowed import and export of .opml files.

Part 2 of Vincent’s Tale, Self Portrait, is up now. Can’t wait to see where this goes.

I saw Superman with my dad this weekend. I really enjoyed it. While there I realized it was the first time I was in a movie theater since COVID. I used to see 2-3 a month.

If Taylor Swift’s Shake it Off Was an Emo Anthem is another perfect cover by Alex Melton.

I never noticed this before but apparently iOS can recognize your dog breed.

My dog Spike with the photos app showing he’s a rat terrier.

I cannot wait for Vincent’s Tale. Sunflowers (Prologue) has me really excited. The word genius gets thrown around with artists a lot but there may be a legitimate case when you look at what Ren has been doing the last few years.

I’ve been playing around with Stream Link Manager for Channels and it seems to work pretty well. The interface is a little confusing. I haven’t been able to get it to launch HBO programming yet. Probably because their app sucks. Hulu and Apple TV+ work fine.

It’s nice to see that baseball fans continue to have taste and hate Pat McAfee as much as every other sport besides football does.

I would watch a tv show of Jason Mantzoukas teaching Stevie Martin how to drive.

I complain about Apple updates taking forever to install but nothing is worse than an Intel graphics update on a Windows machine.

Today’s soundtrack is Dropkick Murphys - For the People.

The very best of Daryl Hall and John Oates

James Acaster is always so good on Seth Meyers.

I really enjoyed Sinners.

This season of Taskmaster is so good. If you’re not watching it, you should be.

I’m actually excited about some of the iOS and iPadOS changes coming this fall, especially the multitasking and window management changes in iPadOS. Can’t wait to see the design changes for myself.
