It's 2026, and I'm still an absolute fanboy for a beautifully designed custom DMG folder view. Lovely work, anonymous Apple designer!

Obviously had to stop by this legendary spot while driving up the Oregon coast this summer.

A pale blue hanging oval sign in a wood frame, showing a hand-drawn blue whale, with the words "Exploding Whale Memorial Park" surrounding it. The sign is at the entrance to a small park, in Florence, Oregon in the United States.

Great to see Irish actors appearing in the most unexpected of places.

A screen capture from the game "Assassin's Creed Shadows" showing three enemies labeled "Saisesha Ronin", which reminded the author of the Irish actor, Saoirse Ronan.

The Dons are going up! And good job by the @cbssports.bsky.social producer who absolutely knew why they were putting Mumford & Sons behind every recap clip in the breaks.

It’s bittersweet that I had my last ever #foursquare city guide upvote as recently as this weekend. Such a treasure trove of useful data just disappearing without a trace this week.

ZIP discs really feel like planned obsolescence. I assume a ton of TIF files for “Follow The Leader” are trapped on this forever at this point.

Surprised and delighted to see the newest Tesla destination chargers now have J1772 adapters built in for us “Non-Tesla” owners. Need to use the app to activate, but I’ll take it.

Seattle area is 70°F at 8:00am, so I guess we all live in Arizona now.
