The Cardinals are going to to have a really shitty season again this year. I really hope attendance is down.
I’ve been using Apple Arcade quite a bit recently. Do you know what’s pretty awesome? Starting a game on my phone then picking up a controller and playing on an iPad or Apple TV. That makes it so much easier to find time to play.
All four seasons of Evening Shade are on Prime if you want to binge them before the ads kick in at the end of the month.
The Scarface Tiny Desk Concert is superb. 🎵
All week I’ve been excited about the upcoming three-day weekend for MLK, Jr. Day. It’s not this weekend, it’s next weekend.
I can never remember what button or gesture does what on watchOS these days. Good job, Apple.
TIL there are multiple sequels to Starship Troopers.
Free game idea for the Playdate: Steamboat Willie boats down a river avoiding obstacles. Use the crank to make the boat’s paddle go.
1080 Snowboarding is now available in the N64 app on the Switch. Somehow I missed that. Happy New Year to me.
Blast from St. Louis beer past.

I love this hat.

I wonder how far back MLB’s audio archives go. They could do a podcast where each episode is a radio broadcast of a famous game in MLB history. I’d subscribe. I also subscribe to Sleep Baseball, so what do I know?
My nephew has COVID so the first Christmas of the weekend (tomorrow) was cancelled. Poor guy.
YouTube’s mouse support on the iPad is bad. So, so bad.
I have a package, coming via USPS, that was supposed to be delivered on the 18th. There hasn’t been any updates to the tracking, other than saying it’s late. It has been “in transit to next facility” since the 14th.
I don’t forget my wallet often, but when I do I’m so glad most places accept Apple Pay. That saved me a trip home from the grocery store and back during a really busy time.
It’s crazy to me that I’m already seeing posts for MLS preseason. The season just ended. I’m excited, though.
The Athletic is now available to Apple News+ subscribers. Hopefully this means I can cancel my standalone subscription.
