New gear day!! 😍 Book a trip and you could be the first to swing them into ice! Thanks @petzl_official
Well… our wood stove is “unsafe”, and our roof, which we were told had been recently replaced when we bought the house last year, is “terrible” per the chimney sweep. Oh, and the pest guy won’t return my texts about the squirrels in my roof. 2025 is shaping up to be a pricey year for home repairs.
It’s weird how much people’s kids look like them. A bit narcissistic, don’t you think? I mean, c’mon, have a little imagination.
Victoria Song: ‘Meta rolls out live AI, live translations, and Shazam to its smart glasses’
Live AI allows you to naturally converse with Meta’s AI assistant while it continuously views your surroundings. For example, if you’re perusing the produce section at a grocery store, you’ll theoretically be able to ask Meta’s AI to suggest some recipes based on the ingredients you’re looking at. […]
Meanwhile, live translation allows the glasses to translate speech in real-time between English and Spanish, French, or Italian.
Roughly 30-minute battery life with Live. Not great, but’ll be fun to try!
🔗 Apple TV+ renews hit, world-building drama “Silo” for seasons three and four
Great news! I liked season one, and I love season two! Can’t wait to see more unfold.
Kushaiah Felisilda: ‘A Calendar Shift Experiment’
I’ve always set my calendar to start on Sunday, simply because it’s the default setting on most calendars, both paper ones and digital. Now, I’m experimenting with setting Monday as the start of my week for the next two weeks. I’m curious to see if this change will affect my perspective on the week’s structure.
🎙️ Having heard you say how much you wanted to be a parent someday, I couldn’t be more excited for you, @imyke@myke.social (and Adina). I’ve loved hearing all the baby talk. It really has been quite the year! 🥹 Good luck! 🤞 overcast.fm/+AADAvLi-…
Kicked some ice tonight with @ben_k_
🎙️ One of the best explainers for the three types of fun I’ve heard to date. And I like what he says at the end; it’s in type 3 that you really grow. dirtbagdiaries.com
Got out for a little ski scouting for future projects. It was a bit rockier than I expected. Sorry skins! 😬 Gorgeous day though.
🆕📝 ‘Dictate a Note’ is my new favorite shortcut (and that’s saying something)
I'm dictating ideas and tasks left and right, with gloves on, while hiking, without looking. Nothing escapes me! 🎙️
🚨 New shortcut! Don’t be like me and be too slow to make your Very Good Joke. Use ‘Whispering to Date’ Meme Maker to be the fastest draw in all the land.
Get it from the HeyDingus Shortcuts Library.
🆕📝 First Impressions of Artemis: James’ ‘Calm Web Reader’
I didn't think I'd be adding another feed reader to my arsenal, let alone liking it so much despite its (intentional) lack of bells and whistles.
John Gruber, on the new Mozi app for coordinating with friends when you’re/they’re in the vicinity:
New app, spearheaded by Ev Williams:
Mozi is a private social network for seeing your people more, IRL. Add your plans, check who’s in town, and know when you overlap.
iOS only at the moment, with “Sign in with Apple” as the only supported authentication method. One clever idea is that you can share travel plans and your location, and Mozi will coordinate when you might be in the same area as a friend.
Alright, I’ll bite.
🆕📝 I launched a ‘For Sale’ page 🛍️
Help me get rid of my gadgets and gizmos aplenty!
As Twitter’s spiritual successor, Bluesky has potential to also take up the mantle of “UI design playground”.
🎙️ I snorted so hard it hurt. Thanks @rebound@hachyderm.io. 🤣 overcast.fm/+AADe1njn…
Big year! Going bigger in 2025. 💪 #StravaRecap
P.S. Thanks for all the kudos @lame_letters, and all the fun times @rech310, @sgardnerdpt, @klister_the_cat! 🙌
I placed a big, scary equipment order today. And will place bigger, scarier ones soon. 🫣 Please book a trip or tell your friends! 😆
I was perfectly happy with my resort skis until this moment. 🤤
ResMed, a medical solutions company with over three decades of experience designing anthropometric accessories, is announcing a new Apple Vision Pro strap specifically designed for extended use.
It looks and is priced ($120) like it was designed by Apple. ResMed’s video (a really good one that actually shows which straps to adjust to alleviate pressure spots) even looks like it’s trying to recreate the space from Apple’s introduction video. So many head strap choices now!
A new Very Good Tweet™ from @agiletortoise@mastodon.social from has landed:
