Saw great iPhone accessories coming soon at CES! MoFT MagSafe Wallet + Stand with Find My, ESR Qi2 25W MagSafe battery, and met Jan, Founder of PaperLike who promptly applied a screen protector on the show floor!

Uploading on hotel Wi-Fi is a special kind of torture

Officially at my first CES! I have no idea what I’m doing but excited for it! And if you listen to Primary Tech I have 100 pins to give away
January 5, 2026 at 5:44 PM
Thanks so much Jason 🙏🏼 glad you enjoy the show!!

Finally had a video reach 1M on YouTube! It wasn’t something that went viral, it took 2 years to get there

It was an experiment for me, being 1 hour long and my first “complete guide for beginners” (now I have several like it)

Even though it didn’t perform well at first, it still gets views today
January 4, 2026 at 5:23 PM
Woohoo!! Enjoy 🙂

Appreciate that 🙏🏻

🎓 Today, I launched Shortcuts University!

Then I un-launched it. Kind of.

🎓 I Launched Shortcuts University! Then Un-Launched It
For a long time I've wanted to offer an extensive course for those wanting to learn how to build Shortcuts. So I planned the lessons, invested the time, built a 13-week cohort where I host weekly live...
