There are a lot of new iPhones introduced each year. What they feature, and what sticks around is worth noting.
🆕📝 Brief Thoughts Before Apple’s Wonderlust Event
It’s Apple Event day! I’m not at my most excited, but I do have Thoughts™ about what’s rumored to be introduced.
I have great news for Stewart’s Shops customers in northern New York, at least in the Lake Placid region: they finally accept tap to pay again after a multi-year hiatus. Should be great for bikers and runners.
I did a new thing today and had an absolutely grand time with it. Can’t wait to share more. 😁
Hot Take™ , coming in 🥵: I don’t begrudge this transition to (essentially) email addresses as usernames for the web. If everyone had a domain to use instead, I think that’d be best, but user@domain.name is okay in my books.
The buildup of entire little worlds on the forest floor fascinates me.
Which is taller? Distance can abstract height.

Oops, all Trust Clicks edition!
Moving day 🥲 🙂 📷
Text replacement is one of my very favorite things across the Apple ecosystem. Add it once, it works everywhere. I must have hundreds by now. The only things missing for me is variables, like for the current date. (Settings → General → Keyboards → Text Replacement)
🆕📝 Yep, Everyone Is Right. Callsheet Is Great.
Congrats to @caseyliss@mastodon.social on the launch! I have a feeling this one is going far. 🚀
Offshore wind potential in the US is huge but untapped // The Verge

Harness the wind!
A thing that just happened. I wanted to light a candle, but my electronic plasma lighter was too low on battery. I searched through my car for a charger, but couldn’t find a micro USB plug. I walked away, defeated. Then I realized that I had moved a pack of matches out of the way while digging. 🤦♂️
🆕📝 Threads (Actually) Adds Auto-Generated Alt Text
Some tests were performed.
I’m testing out transitioning from 1Password to iCloud Passwords with help from Simon Støvring and Ricky Mondello. So far, so good. 👌
Looks like we’re gonna be New Yorkers for a bit…we bought our own piece of the Adirondacks! 😁 📷
Why my internet presence has been quiet this past week:
So, I’ve been doing more tweaking to the Hello theme on my Micro.blog, but I feel a bit uncomfortable just editing the code in the browser. I got hosed once by updating the theme and losing all my changes. What are people doing for version control? Git’s kinda overwhelming.
I’m heading out into the woods tomorrow for a multiday trip and am wondering if I should update to Public Beta 2 from Beta 1. Does anyone with experience know if battery life is better, worse, or the same on B2?
🆕📝 ‘Google’s Reading Mode app for Android can save you from the worst of web design’
Based on The Verge’s description, Google is very close to nailing the reading/listening experience across its OS.
🆕📝 Alt Text Is (Maybe) Enabled on Threads
Threads’ alt text implementation could turn out to be the best yet, if only we could all try it.
