Matt Birchler with some subscription news that I can really get behind:
As of today, the annual plan drops to $35/year (from $50). The monthly option is no longer available.
Basically, I really want to encourage longer term relationships with readers. I think the value of this blog is revealed over time, and I want to encourage people to give me a year to earn their subscription renewal.
If you enjoy Matt’s blog, you should really consider joining his More Birchtree membership. It’s great writing, and while not One a Month, is really good value.

Via MacRumors, Apple’s foldable iPhone is sounding more and more like the ultimate mini comeback story:
Apple’s first foldable iPhone will be equipped with a 7.8-inch inner display, and a 5.5-inch outer display, according to Taiwanese research firm TrendForce.
Oh? 5.5-inch outer display? Just bigger than my beloved iPhone mini?? 7.8-inch inner display? Just smaller than my beloved original iPad mini?? Sign 👏 Me 👏 Up!
🔗 David Pogue announces ‘Apple: The First 50 Years’ book, pre-order:
David Pogue’s been covering technology (and Apple) for longer than many 9to5Mac readers have been alive. And to celebrate Apple’s upcoming 50th anniversary next April, the “CBS Sunday Morning” correspondent is releasing a book where he promises stories, photos, and “fresh interviews” that will help tell the story of how 1976 Apple became today’s Apple.
This is going straight onto my to-read list.

The Vagueness and Vagaries of ‘Personal Superintelligence’ – Pixel Envy
No mention of being careful, no mention of choosing what to open source. Zuckerberg took an ostensibly strong, principled view supportive of open source A.I. when it benefitted the company, and is now taking an ostensibly strong, principled view that it requires more nuance.
Men who don’t stand for something will fall for anything.
I couldn’t figure out why there were so many cat pics in this NYT article about Trump’s continued playing by an Authoritarian rulebook. Then I remembered I’d installed this Safari extension that swaps out pictures of Trump for ones of cats instead because I can’t stand to look at his stupid face.

After 132 High Peak summits, I finally got the last of the ADK 46ers done! 🎉 Big Slide was a great peak to end on, too! It was Jo’s and Phin’s first High Peak, so it was pretty special to do as a family. 🧡
It’s been quite the journey over the past three years, shared with many, many people. And I can’t wait to climb these amazing mountains again and again!

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.
