Sure, I may be the guy who gets annoyed by pants, but at least I'm not the guy standing on his deck in his underwear shaking out his pants.

I'm pretty sure if you're at the shaking-out-your-pants point you should probably just throw them in the wash.

How is having to select “no” 12 times to opt out of tracking and targeted ads acceptable? This is why ad, cookie, and tracker blockers are so popular. #UX #fail https://instagr.am/p/C7ZlpmCvB-b/

Finally saw a Cybertruck in the wild. I know all of you said they look worse in person, but I was not prepared.

First, it’s great that @MichaelWhelan is on Mastodon. What an amazing artist.

Second, his recent post featured a spherical alien that I instantly recognized from my childhood. https://mastodon.art/@MichaelWhelan/112428886103083708

It’s from this book, published in 1980, which had a cover image that is also burned into my brain.

M4 processor, Tandem OLED panel display, and Apple Pencil 3…this is the first iPad Pro where I feel like it’s worth upgrading from my 3rd gen model. #apple #ipad

Going to a Taylor Swift-themed birthday party today. This is my first time making a Swifty card. #taylorswift #handmade #card https://instagr.am/p/C6RigX6OTrw/

Know why you can’t clean the greasy spots off your compute keyboard? Because that isn’t grease. Lots of computer keys are made from ABS plastic, which is soft and cheaper than PBT plastic. Those shiny spots are where you polished the keys by typing. #keyboard #computer #cheap https://instagr.am/p/C6ICqacrSLW/

Canva just bought Affinity. I really hope they don’t end up screwing over all of us who rely on Affinity Photo, Design, and Publisher, but I’m not confident. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/canva-acquires-affinity-design-suite-004813952.html

Facebook is now showing me ads for cancer treatment centers. Do they know something I don’t?

I just spent a rediculous amount of time troubleshooting why I can’t add new devices to HomeKit. I even went so far as to try a different WiFi base station. Either I have the single most esoteric network setup—which isn’t likely—or parts of HomeKit are fundamentally broken. Again. #homekit #apple #smarthome #fail

Me: Hey Siri, play classic rock.

::HomePod starts playing 1980s rock::

This is NOT what I was expecting. Either Siri off by a solid decade, or I’m older than I thought. #siri #music #old

I know people are upset, rightfully so, about tumblr selling data to AI.

AT THE SAME TIME, I’m picturing the poor devs dealing w/an AI fueled by tumblr & it’s kind of funny.

“WHY THE FUCK IS IT OBSESSED WITH GONCHAROV? WHAT THE FUCK IS GONCHAROV?”

“…WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT’S A FAKE SCORCESE MOVIE GOOF THAT EVEN SCORCESE GOT IN ON???”

“We have to stop using Tumbler. We get done dealing with the Goncharov infestation, now it’s obsessing about a Vulcan owning a cat named “Marmalade”.”

I’m still new to fountain pens, but I’m having a hard time imagining a better writing experience than my Pilot Vanishing Point with a Fine nib and Iroshizuku ink. It's writing bliss. #fountainpen #ink #writing

Me: Hey Siri, play Jeff's eclectic playlist.

music starts playing on my HomePod

Me: Hey Siri, stop the music in two hours.

Siri: There’s nothing playing on this HomePod.

music still playing

This is more proof that home voice assistants are still little more than toys, or Siri is throwing down a harsh commentary on my musical tastes. #siri #homepod #fail

As I sit here restoring client files that somehow got corrupted I feel compelled to remind everyone how important it is to backup your critical data. Instead of freaking out, I’m simply waiting for the restore to finish—which probably happened while I was typing this post. #backup #data

Can anyone identify this iPad?

I’m a long time @Iconfactory fan, so it was a no brainer to back their Project Tapestry on Kickstarter. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/iconfactory/project-tapestry

Not done yet, but at least this fountain pen nib isn’t encrusted with so much dry ink that it looks like tiny little barnacles anymore. #fountainpen #ink #montblanc https://instagr.am/p/C1-GEuLPxiw/

I’m unclogging another fountain pen nib. It’s the second 24 hour soaking for what I think is a Montblanc Mozart. Look close! It’s in there! #fountainpen #ink https://instagr.am/p/C1-FkU7P9A7/
