shep, but online

Check out Designed in California: An Apple history podcast by Jason Snell on Kickstarter. Can’t wait to listen.

Flight.

A hawk soars above a wooden structure with green foliage against a clear blue sky.

Parachute rewrote their iCloud Photo backup engine and it seems like it is much slower now. I back up weekly with incremental backups and don’t take that many pictures (10 a week at most) and it still takes forever.

Comedy Bang Bang live tour episodes are back and I’m so excited.

I’m pretty sure this hawk is stalking me.

A small bird is perched on a wooden fence surrounded by leafy branches.

I may have to give Interstate 60 another watch. What a weird and fun movie.

There’s now an iOS version of Gnome, for your gif needs.

Perched and waddling.

A bird is perched on a wooden utility pole against a backdrop of a cloudy sky. A duck is walking in a garden area with various potted plants and outdoor furniture in the background.

I have the Cardinals on my TV, City in the Open Cup on my iPad, and I’m posting this from my laptop. Too many screens or not enough?

I played 2.5 hours of Forza Horizon 6 so far. I love it. My Xbox was really hot by the end of my session.

Buying a portable monitor and hooking up an Apple TV might have been the best thing I’ve done to my office. I can also hook it up to my servers if I need to for some reason.

Now playing: Kno - Death is Silent

A vinyl record is playing on a turntable, with an album cover featuring an illustrated woman's face positioned behind it. Album is Desth is Silent by Kno

I’ve been waiting for Indigo to come out for a while. It’s a great app for crossposting to Bluesky and Mastodon. I had been using Croissant for cross-posting, but it wasn’t a full client.

Do you need quick access to gifs in your menu bar? I do. That’s why I downloaded Gnome.

Project Hail Mary is out to rent our buy now. It’s very good. You should watch it.

George Carlin on comedians who punch down. Not much has changed since 1990.

Latest macOS and iOS updates seemed to have fixed a WiFi 7 issue. My two capable devices are now connecting via WiFi 7 instead of 6 (not that it matters, I don’t have multi-gig internet).

There’s a Game Changer: Home Edition game and you can back it on Kickstarter. There was a Smosh vs Dropout video where they played it. This looks like so much fun.

Nothing like some casual racism from a Schnucks employee while you’re shopping. I was walking down an aisle and an employee picks up two discarded flower arrangements and she blurts out, “if you can’t afford flowers for your baby momma don’t steal them.”

Watching me like a hawk.
