I really enjoy this retro cast that The Weather Channel is doing. Instantly brought me back to yesteryear. (Via Matt Birchler)

Apple posted a really cool video showing behind-the-scenes of the PROLED MacBook Pro intro. Looks like a ton of practical effects shot on iPhone!

Watched: A Life Outside: American Mountain Guides 🍿

Saw this at our local film festival tonight. Really well done! They subjects expressed so well the way that I feel about guiding and being in the mountains, but for which I can never find the right words.

Rating: 👍👍

Watched: The Invite 🍿

This was something else! Edge of my seat from the discomfort of it all, but unable to look away. Well done, everyone!

I voted, and got my flu and Covid shots today. Did my part, hope you will too! 🇺🇸

Watched: Ted Lasso Season 4 📺

You know what? I liked this season more and more as it went on. Glad to see some things resolved well in the final few episodes, and intrigued about some big changes for next season!

Rating: 👍👍

Watched: Game Changer Season 8 📺

All caught up on this excellent, wonderfully weird, and very special show. Can’t wait to see what they do next!

Rating: 👍👍

Watched: You Can See Everything 🍿

Uh, wow! That was quite something. Could have watched three more hours of it. The hype was sky-high, and still it exceeded my expectations.

Jason Kottke shared a collection of celebrity name doppelgängers who have appeared in old headlines. Quite amusing!

🆕📝 That MacBook Pro screen is gorgeous, but the corners are wrong

Two laptops display calendar applications side-by-side, highlighting design differences with one having more rounded edges and the other having sharper corners.

I wonder if Apple will release a new Apple Pencil today that works with the rumored touchscreen MacBooks and the iPhone Duo. Seems more likely that they would have debuted it with the Duo rather than the MacBook, but perhaps.

Finished reading: I am not a robot: my year using AI to do (almost) everything and replace (almost) everyone by Joanna Stern 📚

I really love Joanna’s writing voice, and that she voiced it herself for the audiobook. Funny, informative, and zany — this book turned out to be everything I hoped. But I finished it feeling more worried about our AI-riddled future than I expected.

Thanks Strava! But you can also just say it was dumb. 😅

A notification from “Athlete Intelligence” commends a person for completing 29 miles of hiking just three days after a 26.9-mile run, noting their impressive endurance. Below the text, there is an orange button with the words “Say More."

Thanks @keepontrekkingg! We can’t recommend hanging out with cool cats like yourself enough! 🤙

Gamesmanship! Been meaning to get on this route for years and finally make it happen with @con1feric on a perfect fall day. What a route. We took it to the top and enjoyed every pitch. 👌 And got a @willclimbz sighting! 😁

Want to delve into the mystic arts of trad climbing? We can instruct you in how to reliably place your cams and stoppers, to build strong and simple anchors, to manage that rope from becoming a tangle, and much more! Request a day of private instruction from our licensed and expert guides!

Text: Vincent Boucher 3 reviews 13 hours ago Awesome day of climbing with Jarrod (Intro to trad climbing) ! He is very friendly and professional (knowledgeable clear patient…). If you need a mountain guide look no further!! Highly recommend!

Been really enjoying Nonogame by @matt_birchler@mastodon.social. Played over five hours already!

The image is a screenshot of a game summary from “nonogame” for #66, dated September 24, 2026. It shows completion times for three categories: Small - 0:16, Medium - 5:23, and Large - 3:18, with a total time of 8:58. It states, “Faster than 5% of today’s players.” The logo and name “nonogame” are at the bottom, with a design resembling a heart made of red squares next to it.

I spy new Apple Music branding with a lowercase “m” in the Apple Music Hall introduction. Curious! I kinda like it. I’ve long thought the capital “M” made it a little off balanced.

Black and white promotional image for Apple Music featuring the Battersea Power Station. The text “Apple Music Hall” is prominent in the center, with a “Watch Film” button below. The iconic chimneys of Battersea Power Station are visible in the background, giving a dramatic architectural element to the design.

A big ol’ high five 🙌 to Eric who reached the halfway mark on his #46er journey by summiting Colvin and Blake on Friday. C&B had been our Plan B peaks for a few trips, so it felt great to finally get them checked off. Over the hump, and looking forward to next season with this great guy. (Last pic is of me in my happy place!)

Moby Grape (5.8) | Cannon Cliff, NH. Amazing day of climbing on this 7-pitch wonder! Great partnership with Shane as we swapped leads, each taking a scary one, and got the onsight for every pitch. That Finger of Fate is no joke! Superb weather, awesome climbing, and good company made for a stellar day. Can’t wait to go back to that nice NH granite!

Two white AirPods cases are placed on a wooden surface. The top case is cleaner and has the text “Apple • AirPods.” The bottom case appears to be slightly worn with visible dirt marks and has text indicating it was designed in California and assembled in Vietnam.

No more “Designed by Apple in California” on the back of AirPods. Thanks, I hate it.

On the other hand, the AirPods 5 sound fantastic, and block noise just as well!

We had a blast with Tara and Jason as they ventured into the realm of outdoor rock climbing today! From tying in, lead and top rope belaying, and rappelling, they both added a ton of new skills to their climbing toolbox — plus all the actual climbing we did! They showed off their strength as a couple too, communicating with love and care when things got tough. 🫶

Notch Mtn provided a scenic classroom for this Intro to Outdoor Rock lesson with everything we needed. Slabs, cracks, crimps, long climbs, and short climbs. We’re already planning their next climbing adventure!

I’m intrigued to see how FedEx delivers my package on Thursday, September 18, 2026 seeing as that day does not exist…

The image displays a travel status update. The background is purple with the date “Thursday, 9/18/2026”. A location pin indicates “Currently in North Salt Lake, UT”. Below, a white panel shows a journey from “West Valley City” to “Saranac Lake, NY”. A purple arrow points to the right above the words “On the way”.

Safe, knowledgeable, and fun are exactly the things we try to be! Thanks, @con1feric, for the very kind words! 🙌
