I don't miss Spotify much, but I do miss being able to control the playback on one computer from a different computer. It was so useful in the classroom. Airplay just isn't the same.

I’m sorry Eufy, but what is with this app size? 965 MB for a security app?

Even my weather app knows what Trump is doing to the White House is wrong.

Well, the M's are done. The Sounders are next up to break my heart, followed by a late-season Seahawks collapse finishing blow .

This is the most impactful thing one can do to protest corporate caving to autocracy. Canceling Disney and Hulu subscriptions. I suggest you do the same. Now. And boost messaging like this to friends. Push back hard.

In other news, iOS 26 is unexpectedly delightful. I installed the RC, and I was so ready to hate it, because iPadOS26 wasn't wow-ing me. On the iPhone 15 turns out to be smoother and more refined than I expected.

The Puget Sound (Seattle) #meshcore mesh is growing so rapidly and working so well. Last night, I went to bed and woke up to over 100 messages on the public from people holding actual conversations.

(Lengthy, stable conversations are not something that the local Meshtastic network has managed.)

I haven't shopped at Target for a looong time, but I justified going in there to buy a stack of their loss-leader notebooks for my students who show up to school without one. (40 notebooks at 28 cents each is apparently what my convictions are worth.)

I'm really glad that Flickr is still alive, but the uploading options are so poor. I just want to export photos from Apple Photos on my Mac directly to Flickr without exporting, uploading through the web uploader,etc. Ideally, it would be in the share sheet.

(I need HEIC support, so the […]

This seems to be the way that scammers are evading iOS’s unknown contacts filters. I won’t be replying.

Hey, if you're in the process of de-Amazoning your life, I'd humbly suggest libro.fm. Get all your audiobooks DRM-free!

Crooked Media switching their What A Day newsletter *to* Substack, one of the internet’s most notorious Nazi bars, in the year 2025 shows that they are just as out of touch as Schumer and the rest of the establishment Dems.

Today is National Lighthouse Day. This is the Point Robinson lighthouse on Vashon Island, Washington State.

You can rent the lighthouse keeper's quarters, built in 1908, for overnight stays from the Vashon Parks District.

Americans view themselves as friendly and welcoming. But our leaders are afraid to let a LITTLE LEAGUE team from Venezuela play in a tournament we’re hosting. Pathetic.
