I don’t look at the App Store app much anymore. It has become irrelevant to both my personal and business life, which is unfortunate.

I just scrolled through maybe 8-10 screens on the “Today” tab before I found anything I could identify as an indie app…or much of anything that wasn’t just entertainment/games.

Continuing my series of “you saw what movie with your mom?!,” I took my mom to see Challengers today. We had a great time and mom is now a certified Zendaya stan. She wants to see it again. She also loved the soundtrack.

A bit over 700 miles at 15.5mpg. Not great but it’s pretty terrible even when not towing. But hey at least felt super stable.

I guess guitars don't really need headstocks.

Given an existing app with a decent amount of unsubscribed users, what would be the best way to gate more features without annoying those existing ones? Although the existing users are the ones I want to pay…

The single version of "Gigantic" was the first Pixies song I ever heard, and I think it might still be my favorite.

RIP, Steve Albini. He had his touch on so much of the most important music in my life. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Albini_discography

Jimmie Dale Gilmore is one of the most magical voices of American music. Built-in fragility. https://youtu.be/tIgg_QjJCxQ?si=I6fi7Ruyqiu66wL3

When your geology major is packing up his place and realizes maybe their rock collection would have been better packed in multiple small boxes than a few large ones.

Apple TV Remote is now only in control center on iPhone.

And only an app on Apple Watch.

If Apple’s differentiates itself with deep hardware-software integration, it sometimes has glaringly odd software-software integration failures.

Honest talk? Apple Stores are pretty, but not well designed for the purposes they serve. They would work better accepting the sales-service dichotomy like a car dealer.

Yes, leave us in the showroom when we need our phone fixed to look at the new shit, but don’t park us waiting on someone with no way to know when we are going to be helped and scared if we go look at the new shiny they won’t find us.
