• Reflect on what surprised you, what worked, or what you learned about your own creator practice during the camp. • Write a short post sharing one or two takeaways: a habit you built, a lesson that landed, or a connection you made. • Keep it warm and personal. This is your wrap-up moment.

If Stripe’s CLI can purchase domain names through Cloudflare on my behalf, why can I do it myself with wrangler? Seems like it’s only available via their MCP blog.cloudflare.com/registrar-a...

Register domains wherever you build: Cloudflare Registrar API now in beta
The Cloudflare Registrar API is now in beta. Developers and AI agents can search, check availability, and register domains at cost directly from their editor, their terminal, or their agent — without leaving their workflow.

Just bought my ticket to Podcast Movement NYC. They redid the call-for-speakers process, and half the schedule will be chosen by popular vote. Pitch your most unhinged session ideas for me to present.

After a handful of failed attempts, the under desk Mac Studio mount project has reclaimed its place as my current hyperfixation.

Back in NYC for my birthday, and we had to hit up this brunch spot again to see if we still pass the vibe check.

Now that the Pandora’s Box of “slop-forking” has been opened, I’m curious how it plays out the next time a startup shuts down. Will we still get the same chorus of “just open-source it!”?

It's already infuriating to get an undismissable advertisement in System Settings menu, but couldn't they at least align the notification pimple properly?

Podcasting is an internet-born medium that never really grew up on the web. Most episodes have a canonical URL, but nobody sends listeners there. The browser isn't where podcasts happen. Your podcast app is. And that shaped everything about discovery.

@marcoarment.bsky.social just announced on the Accidental Tech Podcast that Overcast is shipping podcast transcripts for every public podcast with more than one listener. No subscription required. The story of how he pulled it off is genuinely absurd.

Our relationship in a nutshell
Me: Anyway, be proud I resisted the urge to
buy another domain name. [redacted] is very reasonably-priced 👀

Her: You buy domain names the way I buy
books. 😂

Me: unfortunately, books don't come with
renewal fees 😅

Her: I think you mean "fortunately". I'd probably still buy them even if they did.

If you use Google as spell check, has it gotten worse lately? Tapping the “Did you mean ___?” link looks correct at first glance, but the search box reverts once you tap into it.

Living in Chicago means you don’t need to follow sports for a home game to turn traffic or transit into chaos. So, I built a single-serving site that answers the question: Is there a home game today? homegame.today/cubs.

Chicago Cubs — Yes | homegame.today
Yes, today’s game at Wrigley Field is scheduled for 6:40 PM.

I’m working on a project that displays Unicode characters like “☰ Trigram For Heaven.” Turns out that the names aren’t available in JavaScript, so I added a dependency to fetch them. It’s kinda wild how much bigger it is than the rest of my codebase. 🤯

Upgrading to oversized towels at home ruined hotel showers for me. I repeatedly forgot to lower my expectations. Then my first shower of each trip ends with a disappointing reality check.

After 3.5 years in Printer's Row, it's time for a new view 😍
A photo of an empty room with hardwood floors, beige walls, and a central bay window framed by three tall sections with white blinds. The room is lit naturally from the windows, and the view outside shows a brick building. The floorboards are glossy and reflect light, and there are white baseboards along the walls. The ceiling is flat and painted white, creating a clean, minimalist look.

On my flight today, I watched The Departed (2006) and M. Night Shyamalan’s Trap (2024) simultaneously via passengers in the row before mine. I may not have heard any of the audio, but I feel entitled to partial credit in Letterboxd.

I’m so unnecessarily annoyed with this article. After reading 1300 words, I don’t think the average reader could accurately articulate *why* Bluesky has taken a different approach to verification.

Nothing humbles me like losing something I was literally just holding. Spent hours hunting for my mug—checked every room, every surface, even the fridge. Eventually found it in the microwave, proving I still haven't quite mastered object permanence. 🤦‍♂️

Marvel Snap for PC ran just fine on my old Intel NUC—until updates made it lag. Thought it'd finally push me to build a real PC… Until I realized I'm so Apple-pilled that I forgot I could just upgrade my RAM 🫠 Three hours and $50 later, I've got 4× more RAM, and problem solved!

At some point, I started ignoring my laptop's Low Battery warnings. Que sera, sera. When it inevitably dies, I close the lid, plug it in, and move on. However, macOS refuses to stop chiming every few seconds until I wake it up and log back in. Does anyone know how to solve this?

Hypothetical Google DOJ case outcome: Apple removes search engine choice and builds its own. Instead of Google paying 36% of search ads to Apple, Apple pays 64% of the revenue to license Google results and manage ad inventory. Right back where we started, but with more lock-in. 🤔

Just realized I never kept track of all the concerts I've seen. Naturally, this resulted in a spreadsheet w/ 50+ shows including the full lineup, venue, city, and links to lastfm/bandsintown/songkick. Now, I’m just resisting the urge to design my own “Letterboxd for concerts.” 😅

I’m recording a live podcast this week, and I wanted to ensure that my mic would be loud enough. I use a Shure MV7 + Wave XLR and record next to a huge window facing downtown Chicago. Not ideal. I bought a FetHead to boost my gain and started picking up radio interference. 😅
