We need Snapchat-like quick sending of photos to multiple people for iOS messages. I could probably make a facsimile of it with Shortcuts, but the UI in Snapchat is great.
I’ve been using TopNotch.app for years and loved it. But now Bartender replicates the rounded screen corners feature, and (fingers crossed) it doesn’t look like it has the same buggy dynamic wallpaper limitations. As much as I liked TopNotch, this means one less app I need running on my system!
I think way too much about usernames and domains. Sometimes I wish I wouldn’t care so much and reclaim that brain time.
Whelp, now I feel silly. I’d been wondering why I couldn’t get my automatic starter to work for months. Turns out I never tried locking the car first. 🤦♂️
📺 Finished watching: BEEF on Netflix ★★★★
The ante just. kept. getting. raised!
🆕📝 Sean Hollister: ‘Google’s seven-year Pixel update promise is historic — or meaningless’
Actions speak louder than words.
You might have thought that @burk was joking. He wasn’t joking. 🤣 https://overcast.fm/+hdKPtaH1s/35:36
Had a blast in the (very wet) Lake Placid Half Marathon yesterday! It was awesome to see so many people getting after it despite the rain and chilly weather. And I even placed pretty well, even though I really just wanted to finish without injury. 😁 🏃♂️



Uh oh. I’m getting the itch for alpinism. Also, just finished watching Race to the Summit. Awe inspiring human achievements.
🆕📝 (Rope) Solo
Tonight was a good climbing night.
Ugh. Experienced data loss today for the first time in ages. I knew better than to type a whole blog post into a web browser without copying it elsewhere, and yet… Now to decide if it’s worth rewriting.
🆕📝 My Appearance on ‘Really Specific Stories’
Would you look at that, I’m on a podcast! But not just any podcast, one of my favorites: the ever gracious @martinfeld’s Really Specific Stories.
🆕📝 T-Mobile’s $10 iPad cellular plan is the best deal in data
I never hear folks mention it, but I’ve been using this data plan for years. It’s time for more people to know!
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 😂
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.
😲 It’s me! I’m Barrod J on @HemisphericViews! 👋 🎙️
Loving the love for the iPhone 13 mini on @HemisphericViews. It’s the best one. 🧡📱🎙️
