    Watched: Pluribus S1E2, Pirate Lady 📺 Still not finished it, but man, this is so weird.

    I want this from Apple. Extracted from this surprising video about a fake Apple Event happening next Spring. This would be called Apple Home. I don’t like the name, but I do like the device. It is reminiscent of older Apple designs during the Apple //c and Macintosh era. Continue reading →

    This is an insane video, well worth it if you are an Apple fan! You’ll thank me later.

    Working on the next edition of “What’s Up With Micro.blog”. The last one was done a year ago. Not only are there so many new and updated things in Micro.blog, but my workflow for going back and analyzing the changelog is so much different and more efficient. I hope to get it done by the end of this weekend!

    Watched episode #1 of Pluribus yesterday. I wasn’t expecting this at all. I don’t know what to think. Maybe episode #2 will help me settle on it.

    I’ve been making those videos about Micro.blog and wish I could post them here too, not just on YouTube. Sadly, many of them are over 20 min long… which doesn’t fit the MB Studio limits… can we work something out, @manton?

    What the US “leadership” is doing to Ukraine is beyond cruel. All this bloodshed for that? What if Mexico invaded the US and people were forced to speak Spanish after a three-year war? How about that?

    What the hell is that font, Apple? Is this a new design trend? It reminds me of when we opened a PageMaker document on our Mac back in the day, and some fonts were missing from the System Folder. Maybe they should install a copy of Suitcase? 🤦🏻‍♂️ Auto-generated description: Four album covers for Best of 2025 on Apple Music, each showcasing different music genres: Hip-Hop/Rap, R&B, Pop, and Alpha.

    Is this a new tactic by Amazon: clicking on reviews count to take a look at reviews to discover that not all reviews apply to the currently selected product? 😳😒

    As hard as I wanted to get extensibility in Craft (with APIs, for example), I still fail to see a practical use case for me. The APIs are really simple, but what am I going to do with them? I just don’t know. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

    I’m giving the iPad Pro with external display another try (under 26.2 b3). As far as I can see, it’s not all Apple’s fault if there are many paper cuts: third-party apps support with external display is lacking. Make no mistake: iPadOS 26.2 as come a long way… but iPad-only rules still make the iPad a bit too far from the macOS experience. Borderless-windows in dark mode makes it hard to distinguish which app is which. Continue reading →

    I’ve been creating YouTube videos for several years, mainly focused on Craft, but also covering Micro.blog and a few other topics. Some of my older Craft videos seem outdated since they reference much older versions that are not relevant anymore. Should I set these videos to private now? What are other YouTubers doing in this situation?

    Something must be going on with Apple’s iWork not being updated with Liquid Glass at this time of year. Apple might be working on better integration with Photomator and PixelMator Pro beyond Liquid Glass adoption. What is your take?

    Another major Internet outage is ongoing, thanks to CloudFlare this time. I’m experiencing several unusual issues this morning (Inoreader, Micro.blog, Craft-hosted docs, etc.).

    A bug in the Apple Shortcuts editor on the Mac. One of so many. Can you imagine if Apple allowed third-party Shortcut editors to create shortcuts? That would be awesome.

    Tweaks to iPadOS 26 b3 multitasking are so very much welcomed! Is Apple finally getting there where they take the best of iPadOS 18 and iPadOS 26? It might be the case. Still experimenting.

    I have finally deleted my Zapier account after a few years of inactivity. It’s significantly more complicated than IFTTT and much more expensive. IFTTT is far from perfect. It seems to be stagnant even. But, for my needs, it’s ok. I have two applets: 1) Save all posts on my RSS superfeed into a **Day One **journal, 2) Save a link into a Google sheet of a YouTube video that I like. Continue reading →
