Lots of people are griping loudly about certain features being announced at #WWDC. Have they considered, maybe, just not using the features they don't like/want?

Tonight is the #MetGala, which means it's time for my annual game of "Does this guest/outfit deserve to be in a museum, or should they be sent directly to the guillotine?"

In honor of the recent arrival of this year's Doc Martens boots (on the right, rows 2 and 3), I figured it was time for a new family portrait. Yes, I may have a problem.

Thanks in advance for sharing this in your networks. My hopes are that some way or another, my appeal will be reviewed by a human. If you know anybody I should speak to, or can think of anything useful to do at this stage, do let me know. climbtothestars.org/archives/202...

So where's the best place to chat during the #wwdc keynote? Bluesky, Mastodon, or ? Or do you have a private Slack, Discord, or Signal? Invites, please!

There was software before Bill Atkinson, and there was software after Bill Atkinson. The fact that the latter is nothing like the former is in large part due to his genius. Apple, please consider renaming the Apple Design Awards after Bill. It would be a fitting and timely honor.

I offered to set up and run a Keynote preso for someone this week. Today, it sunk in that it's been more than a decade since I last touched Keynote… and back then, I just relied on being married to a Subject Matter Expert. I always miss you, Tom @negrino.bsky.social, but particularly so this week.

Eleven years and one day ago, Tom (@negrino.bsky.social) decided to stop in at the KP clinic and have them take a look at his swollen leg and foot. It’d been swelling up for a couple of weeks, and even elevating it wasn’t keeping it from getting worse. 🧵 1/8

When I say "Alexa, play music", I get streamed whatever Apple Music thinks I want to hear. Sometimes it's right, sometimes it's wrong. Sometimes it's very very wrong. Today, it's been JD Souther, John Prine, and The Flying Burrito Brothers. All solid choices, IMO.

What if you own a domain that doesn't have a website? I own a lot of domains, some of which I'd love to use as Bsky handles,. But I don't want to have to deal with setting up websites for all of them.

One of the best parts of stage managing is listening to excellent singers learn very challenging music. I can hear how hard they have to work at it, so it makes the end result where it sounds effortless even more impressive.
