See the screenshots below.

I’ve had the Benny Hill theme song running through my head for the last two days.

I really wish Google would do something about GCal spam. I get a fake calendar invite in my calendar at least once a week.
This time, the knucklehead’s website showed some Google reviews. So I decided to oblige.
EDIT: Turns out there is a setting on Google Calendar for this.

ProPublica released a report showing ICE has detained US citizens.
Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear. At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.
and then lied about it:
[A]gents do not racially profile or target Americans. “We don’t arrest US citizens for immigration enforcement,” wrote spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin.

I really liked season 2 of Peacemaker. I just found out that the last episode was the lowest rated episode of the season. I think it’s because the previous episode actually felt like a season finale and it took me a few weeks to realize it wasn’t over.

Is this a new SMS spam vector? I tend to get about 3 - 4 a week. It seems to have started In September.

Call me crazy but demolishing a chunk of the White House for a $240M gilded ballroom doesn’t seem like the act of someone who thinks he’ll be out of office in 4 years.

I’m happy to see that iOS 26.1 has a setting to tone down the liquid glass effect.

Today’s the day we all learn how many services we use rely on AWS.

I just caught myself typing into Spotlight “Remind me to…”
It is strange that Siri and Spotlight input are two separate things.

After my last post, I went down the rabbit hole Paul Rudd’s Mac and me bit predated Rick-rolling.

If I ever become famous and do the talk show circuit, I’m using Y&T’s “Summertime Girls” the way Paul Rudd used Mac and Me.

My Apple Photos RAW Workflow
I switched from an SLR to iPhones for photography a couple of years ago.
I like to shoot RAW and haven’t figured out a good workflow for RAW → Compressed photos.
My goal is to be able to shoot RAW have photos moved off the device and Photos app, process and save the files I care about in a compressed form and put back on my device.
I think I finally cracked it.
This is still a WIP but here’s where I’m at.
- Shoot RAW on iPhone → save to Photos.
- Periodically run the excellent tool osxphotos and export my library to disk outside of Photos.
- Edit external photos using Nitro
- Export the ones I care about back into Photos
It’s a bit hacky and I wish Apple had better tooling around this but it seems to work.

My dog Barnaby has directed his 300 million olfactory receptors exclusively to detecting pizza.
Grabbed cold slice from fridge. He arrived from upstairs into my office right behind me just as I was sitting down.
This guy can smell pizza through time and space.

I’ve noticed recently that it takes two taps in the iRobot #ios app to start a vacuuming job.
I don’t know when that started but it sure seems like a bug.

I really feel bad bashing Apple at this point b/c I know some folks that work on apps there but man o man Liquid Glass is something else.

Whoa @Microsoft is increasing the Xbox Ultimate price to $30/month? Hard pass. I’ve been an Ultimate subscriber since the early days but I’m barely getting value out of it at $20/month.

Oh fun talk to type on iOS 26 decides not to work tonight. No reason it’s just like “Nah”
I really can’t believe Apple released this.

Finally got a chance to go to Laurel Hill in Philadelphia

I wanted to do an update to the Settings screen in my new app Minimalist Meditation
So, before I started making dinner, this is what I asked Claude to do.
This is the future.

Oh the irony although to be fair working remotely, using Teams does kind of suck.

The Apple Watch Sleep Score is like the James Suckling wine reviews. It’s looks like a 0 - 100 scale but we really know it’s a 90 - 100 scale.
Last night: Went to bed at a 11, finally fell asleep around 1.
Today: Apple Notification “Excellent Sleep Score - 93”
