Jason Snell @snell.zone · 03/09/2026All my best to JV. He got a big ovation and they saluted him at the Giants-Tigers game the other week, it was fun having him in SF for a year. Also of course he contributed to San Francisco in 2012 as well. 000
Jason Snell @snell.zone · 31/08/2026On this day of all days, here's my earliest photo of Tim Cook, and of course @pschiller.bsky.social is there too! Plus some other guy. This is October 2008, in which Tim presented the new Mac releases! 2322
Jason Snell @snell.zone · 30/07/2026Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, Marvel, Disney, or Ghibli. 11120
Jason Snell @snell.zone · 22/07/2026Finally I have something in common with Ben Affleck (other than an abiding love for Jennifer Garner, of course): We've both been next to Jamie Ding on a TV game show. 0321
Jason Snell @snell.zone · 07/07/2026Buttermere, my favorite lake. Also could be a cool Yes album cover. 030
Jason Snell @snell.zone · 28/06/2026Until next season, your Six Colors hog line has left the ice. #curling 3330
Jason Snell @snell.zone · 09/06/2026Hello from California from your Upgrade and Designed in California production team. @myke.social 01032
Jason Snell @snell.zone · 26/05/2026Lots of people enjoyed the Upgrade episode about the origins of Apple! So @myke.social and I are going to try to do it as a regular podcast. It will be a lot of work, so we need your help. Kickstarter campaign launches June 1! designed.fm 1407
Jason Snell @snell.zone · 20/05/2026I don't have a personal Stephen Colbert story other than that time in 2001 when he wrote to my friend about a piece he wrote for our blog where he, um, negatively reviewed a Steve Carell performance in a bad sitcom. 3221
Jason Snell @snell.zone · 22/04/2026Google took a moment at Google Cloud today to put up an Apple logo and read the same sentences that it released in a statement a few months back. Still, hard not to see their pride in being chosen as Apple's AI provider 1210
Jason Snell @snell.zone · 21/04/2026Yep, that's me talking to Greg Joswiak, Phil Schiller, and the future CEO of Apple at the MacBook Neo event last month… photo credit: @gruber.foo 6770
Jason Snell @snell.zone · 09/04/2026Microsoft in the summer of 2025: Perhaps we should improve Windows somewhat. 4152
Jason Snell @snell.zone · 09/04/2026New in macOS 26.5 beta: Clicking on the miniplayer in Music no longer takes you to the wacky full-screen view. Instead, the window fills with the same playback interface as on iPad. I like it. 0120
Jason Snell @snell.zone · 27/03/2026NBC scorebug: look, yellow for base runners. Yes. Two out dots is bad though. The weird texture on the team logos is comical. At least I can read the player names. 2111
Jason Snell @snell.zone · 26/03/2026Joining @tvaziri.com in questioning new baseball scorebugs... NESN fails the "three dots for outs" test, but even worse... how many baserunners are on here? It looks to me like the bases are empty, but no, the bases are loaded. 1121
Jason Snell @snell.zone · 19/03/2026@aptshadow.bsky.social Sorry if you've been told this already... S2E13 of St. Denis Medical (NBC), a character describes her husband as being into sci-fi and, can you believe this, "he read a whole book about space spiders." HMM. 2140
Jason Snell @snell.zone · 18/03/2026TOMORROW the game-show host becomes the game-show contestant! He certainly appears to be in some serious Jeopardy given the quality of opponents this week! 2442
Jason Snell @snell.zone · 11/03/2026It was an honor to meet @kenjennings.bsky.social and play with @godwelcomesall.bsky.social ! And really to meet everyone in the green room you'll see as players next week. What an amazing group of people. 2491
Jason Snell @snell.zone · 11/03/2026Another unexpected opportunity 2026 threw my way: I got the call to be on Jeopardy! Tune in next Thursday, March 19 (or March 20 on Hulu or Peacock), to watch me on the Alex Trebek Stage! sixcolors.com/post/2026/03... 916110
Jason Snell @snell.zone · 04/03/2026Interesting design quirk I noticed - Apple logo on the Macbook Neo is not shiny but just embossed. 1300
Jason Snell @snell.zone · 17/02/2026This a CAT checkpoint. Show me the most recent cat image on your phone. (the heater is the great equalizer) 6223
Jason Snell @snell.zone · 04/11/2025I stand corrected, I have the receipt and it was February 2023. Anyway, thank you Pizza Pomodoro! If we are ever in Wellington again you've got our pizza business. 030
Jason Snell @snell.zone · 21/10/2025Thank you to @moltz.bsky.social for the amazing 3D printed props that I used in my M5 reviews. I've spent five years waiting for the M5 chip to appear, and here we are at last. (Reference: TOS s2e24, The Ultimate Computer, an episode about AI taking people's jobs and being bad at them. 🤔) 2181
Jason Snell @snell.zone · 09/10/2025TFW you find you still have your rotisserie baseball spreadsheet from 1988 (AppleWorks, Apple II) 4492
Jason Snell @snell.zone · 08/10/2025I enjoy the TV maps from @506sports.bsky.social because of the quirks like these: Chico/Redding is alone in the west showing Cleveland-Pittsburgh because that's where Aaron Rodgers is from. And despite everything, St. Louis is still soft on the Rams. 2131
Jason Snell @snell.zone · 02/09/2025Love to remember some guys, and of course they're mostly (but not all) Giants. 140
Jason Snell @snell.zone · 07/08/2025On our way to Milford Sound I knew we would approach my southernmost point so I took a picture of it -- an unassuming intersection. 120
Jason Snell @snell.zone · 06/08/2025I'm a lifelong Cal fan. Losing the entire offense to the transfer portal was bad enough, but this home schedule is deeply uninteresting. Woof. (Especially for someone who grew up watching Pac-10/12 games.) 7141
Jason Snell @snell.zone · 21/07/2025Oh look. You asked for a sign-in link today. Okay, but you haven't asked for one in ages and password authentication is offered. If you have an issue I can take it up with @memberful.bsky.social I guess but you know, as a "tech giant" I don't write my own login scheme. 000
