Heyo! Cotton Bureau recently introduced stickers to their on-demand product lineup, so…you can now get a HeyDingus sticker if you want. 😁 I can’t remember if I mentioned the Swanson Pyramid of Greatness shirt, mug, or tote when I made them, but they’re available too.

Matt Birchler: ‘The Mac-ification of iPadOS’
Take window management, for example. The iPad started by supporting one window at a time in full screen. 5 years into it’s life, it got split screen, which was implemented in a limited, but very iPad-feeling way that embraced the touch UI […] With iPadOS 26, users are forced to make a strange choice: revert back to one window at all times or adopt the Mac-like windowing system, the iPad-native split screen is dead.
Count me as someone who rejoices the unbridled window mangement for folks who want it, but mourns the loss of Split View and Slide Over.
Back in March I linked to and recommendedTimothy Snyder’s On Tyranny, a cogent collection of 20 short essays. I was never a big e-book reader, both because I love printed books so much and because I welcome any respite from reading on screens of any sort. But if e-books are your thing, note that Apple Books currently has it for just $2. Amazon’s Kindle edition is also $2 — and the paperback edition, which is the lovely little thing I own, is an oddly but low-priced $7.31.
Kobo’s got it at the same price too.
Dang! That was quick. I’ve only had these shoes for a few months, but they are indeed showing their mileage age. If past is prologue, I’ll eek out a few hundred more miles before retiring them…
Sarah visited us from Vegas and Red Rocks for two laps up and down the Chapel Pond Slab. She brought the sun with her for a beautiful day of rock climbing! We ticked about 9 pitches over two classics, Regular Route (5.5) and Empress (5.5), for Sarah’s biggest day out in 15 years. 🤘 Finding shady belays might have been the crux of the day! 😜
We chatted about rope management, anchor building, and the overlap of the climbing and canyoneering worlds. And we shared a mutual love for Tri-cams. 😁
🔗 Cash App lets you pool money from friends through Apple Pay:
One of the most popular uses for the Cash App is collecting payments from groups of friends, whether that’s an immediate need like paying a restaurant bill or a future one, like collecting money for a shared gift. […]
But what’s more notable is that not everyone in the group needs to use the app. If they don’t, you can send them a request for payment via Apple Pay or Google Pay, and all they need do is tap the link and make the payment. There’s no need to install the app.
Handy!

I was already going to recommend this program even before I saw that they’re cheaper than Apple.

🎵 “The Gift” by Aselin Debison remains one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard. Something about it gets my eyes to tear up no matter what time of year it is. Such joy in her young voice. It lives comfortably in my “Perfect Songs” playlist.
Let me know if it makes your heart happy too. 🥹
lol @robb@social.lol hooked his printer up to social media. 👏
No Sidebar: ‘An Open Letter to Those Who Need to Find Motivation Today’
Remember, you are not defined by this moment of struggle. You are defined by your resilience, your ability to push through, to rise from setbacks, and to keep going. The journey may be challenging, and the steps may be small, but as long as you are moving forward, you are making progress.
[…]
Keep going. You’ve got this.
“At Apple, we’re focused on creating and delivering exceptional experiences,” said Bob Borchers, Apple’s vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing.
I really get a kick out of seeing Bob Borchers quoted in Apple media, which happens more these days as he’s risen to vice president level. I’ll always remember him as the talent in Apple’s guided tour videos showing off the iPhone back in 2007. I watched them incessantly back in the day.
Love these high and tight, super simple anchors. Allows for great positioning to see your follower — a must on this gorgeous, exposed climb!

I have read Susanna Clarke’s book ‘Piranesi’ twice already and am currently strongly tempted by a third expedition into her startlingly vivid, unsettling world. If you ever need a perfect example of the way that books can insert a complete and yet completely unfamiliar world into your brain, this is it.
Yes yes yes. Piranesi lives full-time and rent-free in my brain.
