I came across a little goose family on a walk a few weeks ago :)

I used to be all about clean, neutral UI’s; black & grey everything. Now if I find a bold colorful theme in an app, I’m like.. why not? Embrace the whimsy. Wallpaper also changes color 😊

Yeah, you can just call me any form of “Cow.”

Well that tracks, I guess.
A mobile app screen displays a message stating there are no significant stories in the Positive News category today.

Well that’s a new one, but totally on brand for the dumpster fire that is LinkedIn.
A LinkedIn notification states that an attempt to activate Remember Me on a new device, Safari on Mac OS X, was unsuccessful, advising to learn more or contact support.

I have this delightful little app on my Mac called Sip that lets me quickly sample colors. What has amused me lately is that 2-factor codes I copy from my iPhone get picked up as a color. So I get this little chirp and the icon changes. sipapp.io

I once hooked up a Cintiq 21UX to a 5K iMac thanks to that exact drawer.
A string of cable adapters plugged into the back of an iMac. DVI-I to DVI-D to HDMI to Mini DisplayPort.

Why yes, Audible, this is precisely the behavior I want when trying to AirPlay audio to my Mac. Just take over both screens with no option to hide.

For that matter, trending crap too.

I think the biggest Liquid Glass crime on Tahoe has to be QuickTime. The blue is all wrong.

I’m a lefty, and the hotkeys in Silhouette are mostly concentrated on the left end of the keyboard, which as resulted in this layout for me when doing roto. Finally picked up a Wacom remote so I can be more comfortable. But trying to retrain 20+ years of muscle memory is a challenge 😬

The End of the Mac Pro: blog.natecow.com/2026/03/27/the-end… If you had told me 10 years ago that Apple would have a Mac Pro and a Mac Studio, I’d assume the giant Mac Mini was the new Pro (following the trash can) and the giant tower was the Studio.

The MacBook Neo be one of my favorite Macs ever. Equally important in my computing setup as my Mac Studio. But this thing is everything I wanted it to be. Held out for over a year. Totally worth it.

Ugh, I really hate that I’ve managed to go a freaking week without touching my Django training. I remember what I left off doing, but it’s taking me a minute to get going. (Widget is HabitKit on iPhone)

Spending a lazy Sunday playing video games all day instead of doomscrolling kicks ass, in case you were wondering. Today: - American Truck Simulator (Started the Arkansas DLC) - Got my ass kicked in Age of Empires IV - Continued the story in Red Dead Redemption 2 on PS5.

Me after four solid days of Python training, specifically digging into Django, and I get an email from my old employer wanting to book me on a couple weeks of compositing work, which I of course can’t turn down…

Apple Maps walking directions vs mass transit which is also just walking but a slightly more sensible route.

I recently finally figured out that sarsaparilla is where it’s at.

It’s really not that unique of a problem. Apart from blue screens, roto has been a thing since the dawn of cinema. I’ve got the original Max Fleischer patent hanging on my wall, circa 1917.
