Oh how I wish I could order a few of these, they look so good! 🤩

The t-shirt bay at Apple Park Visitor Center. Shirts are offered in white and black across a variety of designs.

In December, Apple Park Visitor Center launched a new range of white and black t-shirts inspired by vintage Apple designs. Some popular picks from previous seasons have also returned. My two favorites, “Hello Screen” and “Macintosh Drawing,” taken from the Macintosh 128k box, seem fitting for the Mac’s upcoming 40th anniversary. It’s my understanding that, for a few more weeks, these same shirts are also available at Apple Infinite Loop.

Thanks to @maique I remembered Indie App Santa is a thing that exists this time of year!

🎅🏼 Christmas is in the past now, but #indieAppSanta keeps going. Today’s app is a nice one…

The sky from the other evening was unreal. I can’t get enough of imposing cloud shapes. 📷

So Apple has done real emoji Tapback-style reactions...

...for collaborative playlists in iOS 17.3 🙃

Can we have these in iMessage too, please?

Hard to overstate how pointed this feels after all the consternation about emojis/tapbacks in Messages. Hopefully the Messages team will get the (heh) message that this is a way better solution.

Spent most of the day with the power out, but luckily our wood-burning stove was up to the task of keeping us warm enough. Even got out to play in the snow a bit, making a snow penguin and tossing snowballs for the pup! ❄️

No-Shave November to Fresh-Face December. Photos were taken minutes apart. 😳📷

Two photos of a late 20s man. Left with long-ish facial hair, right with fresh shaven face.

I haven’t had this happen yet, but it sounds huge for general accessibility! Sure, we should be able to add alt text to photos we send, but, as @matt@isfeeling.social has been saying, our devices filling the the gaps is good news for everyone.

I was today years old when I learned Siri tries to announce the content of a photo when messages come through. 🤯
The photo below was announced as:
"a white & black analog clock on a white surface"

I completed the pre-December trifecta by getting in my first Nordic ski of the year today. All the way up and down Whiteface Mountain Memorial Highway with my best furry buddy. 🐶⛷️🏔️📷

Got in my first ice climb of the year, and before December 1st! Felt great to swing some tools again — it’s gonna be a great season. ⛏️❄️📷

It was Christmas tree hunting day, one of my favorite days of the year. We got a real honker to fill up our new tall ceilings, and the house has never smelled better! David Sparks’ ‘Yule’ playlist served as background for the festivities. 🎄📷

Love this town. 📷

Do good by buying Gui’s apps.

My dad's home was destroyed by a massive flood in the city where I grew up and where he currently lives. It’s the worst flood in over 100 years, and he lost almost all of his possessions, including the equipment he uses for work. I'm trying to help him out as much as I can, so all of my income in the following months will be going towards helping him. If you'd like to help, you can do so by getting any of my products listed here: buddysoftware.tech or here: insidegui.gumroad.com

It’s the best day of 2023, the day I received my Apple History Calendar for 2024! Just look at those cute-as-can-be stickers that @ismh@eworld.social included. 🥹

Today’s adventure: 5 pitches of über-classic Gunks routes with a dear friend. A crisp, late fall day with gorgeus views but surprisingly few folks at the cliff to share them with. Few things can quiet my mind while simultaneously requiring intense focus and intricate movement like climbing.🧗

😅 I know this is mostly because the rest of the years (currently) contain only my old Instagram posts. But it still makes me laugh. jb.heydingus.net/stats

Charting my number of posts per year since 2011, all under 100 until 2023 which has a huge, sharp uptick to nearly 700.

Beware! The faceless jack-o-lanterns guard our door. Happy Halloween! 🎃👻💀

Two uncarved pumpkins on either side of a closed door and a doormat that that reads, “ring the doorbell and let me sing you the song of my people” with a dog paw print.

Would you look at that? Space Black didn’t completely replace Space Gray in the MacBook Pro lineup. The plain M3 14-inch model comes in Silver/Space Gray. Space Black is only for the true professional chip Macs.

Come on Apple, I had but one wish. A black version of this keyboard. I wouldn’t even care that it still charges with Lightning. The count continues.

Apple Magic Keyboard with Touch ID in white.

Holy smokes, they actually did it. They finally killed the Touch Bar. No more 13-inch MacBook Pro.

Hey @danielpunkass, say I was thinking about moving my Tweets onto my main microblog to live as equal microposts, but wanted to tag them all as “Tweets”. Is there a way to bulk-add tags to posts?

Oooh! Look what just arrived! I’m in for some light reading! 📚🧗

Three books on the counter, including the American Alpine Journal 2023, the guidebook number 11, and accidents in North America climbing 2023 all from the American Alpine club

Would you look at that! I’ve managed to run a little more each year since 2019. 🙂 🏃‍♂️
