Still walking around with empty plastic bottles until I find a recycling bin like it makes a difference.

Bring out the wahhhhmbulance: NPR editor publishes essay full of factual errors at another site, violating his employment agreement, and decides to resign. https://www.wsj.com/business/media/npr-editor-suspension-uri-berliner-d5dda39c?st=bmhh13gv89jz5gc&reflink=article_copyURL_share

Fortunately, he can claim “intolerance.” I’m intolerant…of specious arguments poorly articulated and lacking rigorous factual underpinnings.

A cool thing about transferring photos off my real camera while travelling is that they get uploaded to iCloud, downloaded by my iMac at home, and then backed up to Backblaze. I like that.

You’re allowed to like what you like and compromise where you want to, but it is idiotic for the New York Times to publish this drivel. This isn’t even a case against good coffee; it’s a case for convenience. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/02/magazine/instant-coffee-benefits.html

Re-reading Judge Gonzalez Rogers’ decision in Epic v. Apple and this is quite the treat on page 59. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cand.364265/gov.uscourts.cand.364265.812.0_3.pdf

A bit flips in your brain in your thirties and you suddenly become very interested in birds.

Here’s the U.S. government’s antitrust case against Apple, which none of the news stories are linking to: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.njd.544402/gov.uscourts.njd.544402.1.0_3.pdf

I don’t know when this happened but MacOS Sonoma has a nicer Typography panel showing what each setting looks like. Still a crime you have to go two panels deep in Pages just to change to the correct numbers style, though.

There have always been assholes on Twitter, but I am still surprised by how casually dehumanizing that place has become — yet it has largely retained its cultural relevance.

Kinda rude for Austin’s racetrack to be called “Circuit of the Americas” when there are, in fact, other racing circuits in the Americas.

Personal websites are so, so wonderful.

Livid to learn the American Analog Set, one of my very favourite bands, released their first record of new music in nearly twenty years in October and I am only finding out about it now.

Anyway, it’s real good! https://music.apple.com/ca/album/for-forever/1710054560

Whenever I visit Vancouver I am always struck by how airy and bright it feels, and then I get back to Calgary and it’s like we want a city that is gloomy and bleak and physically unfriendly. Nothing to do with the weather. It’s like nobody is in charge of making it feel hospitable.
