• Damn another cacio e pepe fail. I can’t seem to get the cheese consistency right. I think this time the pasta was too hot ~174 degrees w/ a infrared thermometer.

  • Called Visible because Apple Watch cellular data hasn’t been working. They fixed it by having me restart my phone and assured me that they didn’t do anything else on their side.

    Disconnect from support head out the door and realized that now my iPhone has no cellular service.

    Tried to get my Apple watch cellular working again. Now neither watch nor iPhone cell is working.
  • TIL charcuterie comes from some obscure French meaning cooked flesh.

  • Hey Plex users looks like they were hacked - change your passwords.

  • Start making extra rice when you’re cooking. That plus random veggies in your drawer, an egg, and it’s so easy to throw together fried rice.

    Even better if you keep some chili crisp, and soy sauce in your house.

    Just through a fried rice dish together faster than takeout.

  • Best thing I’ve read this week.

    How Tim Cook sold out Steve Jobs

    “The son of an immigrant, a child of the counterculture, a man offering an unmistakable fuck-you to Big Brother, and a person who, above all, would never kiss the ass of someone who had absolutely awful taste. This was Steve Jobs.”

  • Waymo spotted on 76 in #Philadelphia.

  • Just heard an old song from #Philly band Huffamoose. Check out the album “We’ve Been Had Again.” It’s a great listen.

  • Is it irony that I just received a spammy calendar invite about protecting my online presence?

  • macOS Beta 7 - 9 has a configd regression on my setup. I have to regularly reboot my computer to address it.

    I can’t believe they are going to be shipping this thing soon. It really feels less ready than previous releases.

  • The Dracula video from Rob Zombie is a head trip. #retro #90s

  • Watching the movie Deep Blue Sea. The best cheesiest Jaws movie ever.🍿🧀

  • I built a cool little tool with Claude Code to generate summaries from my DRM free EPUBs.

  • Finally had a free night to see a concert in the park and ☔️:(

  • Copilot for Word is less than helpful. I ask it a question which should be contextually bound to Word by the Copilot system prompt. Instead, I’m given a generic answer about pasting into “some editors”

    Hey @Microsoft happy to work on your system prompts. #smh #ai #copilot

    A user interface displaying a conversation with tips on managing markdown and document formatting is visible on the screen.
  • Need to quickly search for code in your codebase from the terminal? Check out ripgrep. It “recursively searches directories for a regex pattern while respecting your gitignore”

    and boy oh boy is it fast.

  • The new Auto Mix feature in Apple Music on iOS 26 is pretty unusable. I had it turned on and some songs switched in the middle of the song. If that’s expected behavior, I hate it. If it’s not, I hope it’s fixed before launch.

  • Wow, the Weber thermometer built into the grill is very inaccurate. #cooking #grilling

  • I wish Apple was more consistent with using their own API’s in their own apps.

    I just tried to use Spotlight to open up an item in Find My and it doesn’t look like Find My exposes anything to Spotlight.

  • I didn’t realize @Target was really that anti-labor.

  • Oh Apple Intelligence you never disappoint.

  • New fav AI tool: Google NotebookLM. I can upload research papers and get an instant expert to chat with. Yes it’s #RAG but with extra goodies. Generate mindmaps, exec overviews, video explainers and podcasts. Have Google Workspaces account? You may already have access.
