The last gasp of camera makers.
I’m trying to get better at the command line. Given how helpful AI copilots have gotten, I’ve been coding more in the last year than I have in the last decade. Given I use macOS, Homebrew has been helpful. I came upon a project called Applite, which is a nice GUI for Homebrew Casks.
TIL about Stashpad, billed as an alternative to Google Docs. Not sure about that, but I really like it! the idea of collaborating on Markdown text files is interesting.
The family made the trek from the west side to Laurel Canyon to hang with one of my close friends. He brought it pizza from Ozzy’s Apizza, a special spot in Glendale that makes New Haven-style “apizza” (it pains me to refer to it like that). The pizza was great and the canyon was magical.
The Pudding’s What Makes An Album The Greatest of All Time is very well done.
I will preface this by saying that I know what the phrase “fuck around and find out” means. I was experimenting with Claude and hilarity ensued. I literally laughed out loud.
Have I mentioned how excited I am about the Die Antwoord documentary? March 23 cannot come soon enough!
Learning that Perplexity is integrating Yelp data is disappointing. Yelp is garbage. It ruins the otherwise great experience of Apple Maps. I end up using Apple Maps for driving directions, but if I need to look up ratings, recommendations, etc. Google is still a lot better and more readible.
Overcast constantly frustrates me. I’m not sure if it’s because I subscribe to so many podcasts or perhaps because I have the app set to stream episodes. The app constantly freezes, indicates it’s playing something when it isn’t and fetches new episodes while I’m scrolling the All Episodes playlist.
I’ve spent hours over the last month trying to migrate my WordPress site to Ghost (self-hosted). I finally had a breakthrough over the weekend, but then I realized the amount of clean-up needed on 20 years of posts and decided to stick with WP. I did learn a lot though, so all was not lost.
