Just heard our local news anchor spoonerize it as the “Hump Trush money case” and that is all I will be calling it now.

This week at Macworld, my Stay Foolish column is all about how Apple's best improvements are often its most invisible. So much work spent on things that only ever get noticed when they don’t work right. (And remember, @sixcolors members can read the whole story for free over there too!) https://www.macworld.com/article/2348650/apple-invisible-breakthroughs-ipad-pro-oled-computational-photography-ai.html

My next novel comes out four months from today! THE ARMAGEDDON PROTOCOL is the final book in the Galactic Cold War series. Picking up where THE NOVA INCIDENT left off, Simon Kovalic and his team are in dire straits. But that's nothing a daring heist and teaming up with an old enemy can't fix...right? Preorder now from all your favorite bookstores! https://dmoren.com/the-armageddon-protocol/

Helpful reminder: If your Apple Card has recently renewed AND you use it on the iPhone Upgrade Program, don't forget to update your payment method on Citizens' site.

Twenty-five years ago yesterday, several pals and I were at the midnight debut of The Phantom Menace. The next morning we woke up (having slept at my friend’s house) to find that we were on the front page of The Boston Globe. About seven hours later we went to see it again. (My friend Evan never lets me live down the fact that only he was named despite me being most prominently in the picture!)

Sugar, on Apple TV+, is one of the weirdest shows I have watched in a while. I think I really enjoyed it? I have no idea who to recommend it to, but if you like stuff that's kind of different, check it out.

Not going to lie: lately I’ve been wondering if any of my work—podcasting, books, tech writing—is really reaching people. But it’s all worth it on those days when some random listener sends an email out of the blue to tell me just how much I’ve affected them.

Man, my Apple Watch battery fell off a cliff today. Anybody else seeing that on watchOS 10.5?

Congrats to my pal @lexfri who is releasing his Lex.Games app today! Play half a dozen word/logic games for free; paid subscribers unlock leaderboards and bonus games. I play most of these daily and they’re great, so you should absolutely go check them out. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/lex-games/id6498941705

Absolutely delighted (should I say chuffed?) to be the first guest on the new @relay show, Paper Places, hosted by Kerry Provenzano. Kerry and I talk about writing, editing manuscriprs, the mystery of the first advance, and more! https://www.relay.fm/paperplaces/1

Welp, guess I didn’t move fast enough to do my thinkpiece on the Apple ad.

A few significant things that Apple didn't mention in its iPad keynote: bye bye home button iPads, Logic Pro and Final Cut Pro updates for Mac, and the cost of nanotexture. https://sixcolors.com/post/2024/05/what-apple-didnt-mention-in-its-ipad-keynote/

I thought you couldn't touch the nano-texture finish on the other displays. What magic is happening here? #AppleEvent

The Pencil Pro gets Find My, but I'm still losing my Apple TV Remote between the cushions?! #AppleEvent

Fun fact for those of you who have read ALL SOULS LOST: Mike Lucifer’s office is in a real building in Union Square. I’ve never been up to the top floor but it looks like the kind of place a spiritual consultant might hang out his shingle. Wave to Irma!

If I had to take a drink every time Tim Cook mentioned AI on this call, I would already be hammered, about 7 minutes in.

You can tell we're on vacation because we're looking up directions to an ice cream shop for tomorrow while in the midst of eating ice cream.

It’s easy to recognize the foreign tourists at the Smithsonian: they’re the ones taking incredulous picture of the “no firearms” sign outside.

Less than two weeks after Apple changed its stance on emulator apps, a retro game emulator is #1 on the App Store. This isn’t just about pent-up demand—it’s about penned-up demand, and Apple changing its tune is to everybody’s benefit. https://sixcolors.com/post/2024/04/apples-emulator-about-face-is-good-for-everyone/

The final (!?) volume of the Galactic Cold War series, THE ARMAGEDDON PROTOCOL, is due out this September. Why am I telling you now? Because B&N is having a 25% off preorder sale for the next couple days, which means it’s a great time to get your orders in. https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-armageddon-protocol-dan-moren/1143928550?ean=9781915998002

Notice how Apple's made a lot of business changes recently? Guess what: regulation works. https://sixcolors.com/post/2024/04/want-apple-to-change-regulation-works/

Last time an earthquake hit the east coast I was sitting in a coffee shop in Union Square and didn’t notice it. This time…I was sitting in a coffee shop in Union Square and didn’t notice it.
