Between the hint of a Thursday Apple briefing on the Six Colors podcast, and now something special coming next week on AppStories, my ears are perked and curiosity piqued. Any ideas?
Next week, AppStories+ and AppStories will be published a little later than usual on Monday, October 2nd around mid-morning Eastern US time for a discussion of a special review we’ve got coming the same day. We’ll have more to say soon, so stay tuned. [MacStories Weekly #387]
You know, I heard on @upgrade@relayfm.social that the Podcastathon thing was pretty fun, but also good and tough. 😂
Holy shit, really getting my money’s worth out of this bonus episode of @HemisphericViews. I don’t think I’ve laughed this hard in months! oneprimeplus.com
This seems like something @dmoren@zeppelin.flights, @Moltz@mastodon.social, and @lexfri@hachyderm.io would want to get hooked up ASAP 😂
Big props to Lucas on crushing the lead of Roaches on the Wall (5.10) last night. Made it look easy, which it is not! It’ll be a few seasons before I’m ready to lead that, but his stoke on the send will keep me inspired to continue at it. 📷
If I had purchased a FineWoven case and the USB-C hole alignment was off, let alone how poor the quality and feel of the case seems to be, I’d be returning the case and looking elsewhere before I purchased new cables to fit this one oddball case.
🧗 Led up this gem today with Gerry! The Disputed (5.8) is the hardest trad lead I’ve done since injuring my finger and, not gonna lie, I’m pretty proud of working through this onsight! (And I was treated to another beautiful sunset on the ride home. Autumn is just the best.) 📷
😲 It’s me! I’m Barrod J on @HemisphericViews! 👋 🎧
Loving the love for the iPhone 13 mini on @HemisphericViews. It’s the best one. 🧡📱🎧
It’s Podcastathon day! The Relay FM team is doing live japes and games for 12 hours straight to raise money to cure childhood cancer with St. Jude. Tune in and give. Not until it hurts, but until it feel really good.
It’s happening again! These awesome little 30W USB-C chargers are just $10 at Woot and $15 on Amazon. (Via The Verge)
🆕📝 These Are Not the Consoles You’re Looking For
Maybe the “gaming console”-capable A17 Pro is as destined to upgrade the Apple TV’s gaming cred as it is the Mac’s.
📷🧗 Got over to Cloudspin Cliff with Matt Oaks and @saw_dust_ery last night. Cool cliff with awesome views of Whiteface. Led up Sundays are for Friends (5.8) not clean, but felt good to test a piece again. Then top roped CCR (5.10a) after Oakcy put up the rope in the dark. Incredible climb. Can’t wait to get back there.
🆕📝 Call People (and Things) What They Ask To Be Called
It’s not that hard.
I just released version 1.5 of the ‘Stand Goal Cheater’ shortcut! Get it here from the HeyDingus Shortcuts Library.
🆕📝 How I Automatically Include a Blog Description in My RSS Feed
This one gets a little extra nerdy with HTML, Mustache, and editing the RSS feed template.
🆕📝 HeyDingus for Relay FM for St. Jude for Ending Childhood Cancer
Join me, Relay FM, and the broader Apple community in donating to St. Jude. Because cancer sucks.
🆕📝 So That’s What They Do With All the Old iMacs
And other observations from the CBS interview with Tim Cook.
Hopped up Empress → Greensleeves (5.6) at Chapel Pond Slab today with the great @saw_dust_ery. Always fun to get up on tops of things! And was treated to a gorgeous sunset on the drive home. 📷
Soooo…how ‘bout that next-gen CarPlay that Apple promised would come out this year, and then hasn’t said a peep about since? ⏳
🆕📝 Brief Thoughts After Apple’s Wonderlust Event
Alright, I finally got to watch the keynote.
