The iPod radio remote connected to my headphones—cat for scale. buff.ly/VZ6QrQ8

A pair of headphones are balanced on the edge of a door. The cable runs down to an iPod Radio Remote, which is then plugged into an iPod on the floor by the door. A cat has come in and is sniffing the iPod.

I'm not a radical digital minimalist by any means, but I think it's time to throw in the towel on the idea that the phone should do everything. It's time to bring back the iPod. buff.ly/47iPxHj

Fascinated by the various ways this podcast HTML embed works/fails across mail apps. Pic 1: Spark for iOS — ideal state, works! Pic 2: Fastmail on the web — fails elegantly, removes embed seamlessly Pic 3: Mail for iOS — fails miserably, does not load and leaves massive white space behind

Pic 1: Screenshot of Night Water email on Spark for iOS showing embedded player.

Pic 2: Screenshot of Night Water email on Fastmail for web showing that embed did not load but email did not render any extra space where it should've been.

Pic 3: Screenshot of Night Water email on Mail for iOS showing massive white space where embeddable player failed to load.

Was hoping the change in URL structure wouldn't affect my Google rankings too much, but it does seem to have hit the HitClips article particularly hard. That dip post-move is almost entirely from the HitClips article dropping out of the top 3.

I also love these little callout boxes on Ghost—works perfectly to help break up my mailbag posts without relying on H2s, which are less visually interesting.

Adding alt text to images on Ghost is so much easier than Substack. Great for accessibility and SEO.
