I'm not pro private jet or a Swifty, but I don't get the focus on Taylor Swift. She's not even in the top ten for celebrity private jet CO2 emissions.

I'd also argue that as the biggest celebrity in the world, she's one of the few people for whom commercial travel is not really an option. I'm not saying it's impossible, but can you imagine if people knew Taylor was in an airport or on a flight? It would be inconvenient and potentially unsafe for everyone.

This is the first show flyer I’ve made in a long time. So excited to be performing again. #Portland

They say there’s no perfect watch. Okay then, explain the Seiko metronome watch.

I'm not really sure why Apple would update the Apple TV? I don't think they're ever going to reposition it as a real gaming device, and otherwise It already does everything it needs to and has USB-C.

Sometimes I don't mind when something takes batteries, because it means it won't be useless in two years. If the batteries are going to last like a year, I think I prefer it.

If Ben and Adam (#GreatestGen & #GreatestTrek) take another show to series, I think Battlestar Galactica isnot the way to go, and they should do Stargate.

Here's my reasoning. Battlestar has 76 episodes total. Not enough for a new podcast. It's extremely self serious. It's violent. It has horrible sexual assault. It's a good show, but it's not a fun show.

Between SG-1 and spinoffs, there’s 334 Stargate episodes. And it's total ham and cheese — perfect fit for their humor.

What do you use the action button for on your iPhone? I don’t use it at all, but I’d like to.

New watch from M&Co. Really adorable and I dig the 33mm size.

I just booked my first show here in #Portland! 8pm June 14th at The Snug. 6806 NE Broadway.

Come see my brand of not humorous but somehow a little funny indie music where I sing about mental health, shitbag CEOs from the 80s, and more!

Major watch purchase 💰 ($22 on Amazon)

Is Lord Of The Rings the last popular movie trilogy that really nailed it?

I would qualify a trilogy as being three movies which were conceived as being three movies and are telling one story split up across three movies.

By that definition, I can only think of the original Star Wars trilogy and LOTR where all three movies are good and they stick the landing.

Vala’s character in Stargate gets much better in season 10. Too bad that’s all she gets 😔

What would be the downside if they just let the Instagram app run on macOS? It would certainly solve all of my issues with live streaming to it or filming Reels.

I hate that so many companies who are never going to make a native Mac app won't let us run their iOS apps on our Apple Silicon Macintosh computers.

I don't want to learn Final Cut, I want iMovie to support vertical video and maybe get support for audio plugins that work in GarageBand already.

I suggested to the creator of Lyrcs he should add a way to put song metadata and chord/section annotations into the app, and within a couple weeks he did!

This is the Lyric writing app I would make myself. It's a real Mac app (iOS too) that uses regular text files, with a rich UI on top of that for embedding song info.

All the basic features are free, although I suggest paying the small pro subscription, because he's done such a great job.

I think what I really want is for Apple to make an Oura Ring. I'm not as into using a third party device, but the idea of an inconspicuous ring I could wear that would get me all of the Apple Watch health tracking features without the screen or Siri or any of that would be amazing. Especially if the battery life was longer than 24 hours.

Why is that my Elgato capture card would work through the Apple USB-C Multiport Adapter, but not through my Anker hub when there is nothing else plugged into it? I feel like I'm missing something?

Is the USB-C connector the greatest monkey's paw in computer history?

If the EU wants to make everyones lives better, they should make it illegal to sell a cable with a USB-C connector that doesn't support at least USB 3.1.

It's pretty incredible how much mileage we've gotten out of a seven note scale and many many songs using some version of a 1-4 or 1-4-5 progression.

The thing that JetBrains IDEs really fuck up UI wise is that they mix your global IDE settings and project settings into the same panels. I should have a place for project settings and a place for IDE settings. Seems basic?

When a #macOS app supports versions, it's really quite cool and useful. I wish more did.

I know I want to record music and publish it, but I find the whole publishing part a bit confusing.

Should I put out a single first? If I put up a single on streaming and then want to add that as a part of an EP, is that easy to do?

Logic Pro 11 looks great. I'm definitely going to try the new session musician features, although ultimately, I suspect I'd rather play my own instruments and have them be a little less perfect but more my own. Who knows though, maybe the bass player is amazing.

I think I might switch to a mechanical watch.
