⛷️ Got Jo out on her skis in all this beautiful new snowfall. So fun! Then spent the day de-Christmas treeing the house and getting the place back in order after the holidays. 📷
I think that might’ve been nubble’s best performance yet. They bring together the best crowd with the best energy. Perfect end to one of the best days in a while. (And I loved the Avett Brothers cover — can’t wait to hear more!) 📷
❄️ Big outdoor day with friends! Woke at the buttcrack of dawn to ski alllll the way up the mountain with Dan & Sarah (who hardly broke a sweat at my slow pace) and then back down on fresh runs. Then climbing adventures with Dan & Dakota on bullet-hard ice. Cherry on top was the hot tub dip after. 📷
The absolute values don’t ultimately matter, but it is very cool to see the trend over time coincide with the effort put in.
Man, I thought Drafts made it easy to blast off posts at the speed of thought. But I have to admit that MarsEdit’s micropost window is unrivaled on the Mac.
Hotkeys for launching and posting, and now it even has image support (with alt text!). This is dangerous.
Not sure if this is useful, but it is at least interesting (to me): You can view the contents of your clipboard on macOS by going to Finder → Edit → Show Clipboard
Whoa. The ‘Download Template…’ feature of @danielpunkass’s MarsEdit is wild. Within a few seconds, it made a temporary post to my blog and used it to download the CSS. Now post previews look exactly like they will online. With a MarsEdit for iOS, so many of my blogging nitpicks would be solved. 🤞
Oh how I wish I could order a few of these, they look so good! 🤩
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…
If you need countdown (or up) widgets, that also work on your Apple Watch, and come in a few cool designs, you might like this. Lifetime unlock free today.
Ugly!? These are just gorgeous.

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! ❄️
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"
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. 🎄📷
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: https://buddysoftware.tech or here: https://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.🧗
