How cool is this? Thank you @Burk
Send us your desk photos! Does Jason like his iPhone mini? We talk ‘one more thing’. Is TestFlight a cover for iOS demos? Andrew shares one of his weird documents. Surely you begin your week on Monday? And Media Corner! Hemispheric Views 009: You’ve Buggered Up Your Quadrants!
My Apple Podcasts experiment lasted about a day. The device sync is good. Nothing else is. Seems like Overcast is the only show in town for multi-device sync and a sane interface.
Iām taking a look at the default Apple Podcasts app. The library interface is inscrutable. Does this app make sense to others?
My son has given me a bunch of reasons why a train is a cool vehicle. Theyāre comfortable, they let you travel around, theyāre quiet… #mbnov
I’ve been a computer nerd virtually my entire life. I remember when a computer had 8 kilobytes of memory. Those were the days. #mbnov

Check out the desk of @Burk in the latest episode of Hemispheric Views mini. You could even listen to it on a new HomePod mini, if you wish!
When I was young I loved The Far Side by Gary Larson. Unfortunately his recent reboot hasnāt grabbed me in the same way. #mbnov
This was our beautiful girl, Indi. @gabz
I’m contemplating the worth of getting a second HomePod (maxi), putting it into a stereo pair with my existing one. Then removing the receiver, giant speakers, etc. Just simplifying (perhaps?) it all.
This probably explains why I couldnāt get MarsEdit to launch yesterday. Sorry @danielpunkass mjtsai.com

Om Malik on Instagramās Updates:
I feel sad for photographers who think their future is on Instagram and the social network it brings. They donāt realize that they are there to help sell tchotchkes.Ā
The latest āfeaturesā added to Instagram provide a timely reminder that the only safe haven is owning oneās content. A personal website and domain name remains the most reliable way to avoid your content serving as feed stock for a commercial enterprise.
Whatās this? My desk setup is being investigated by @martinfeld and @burk? Thatās the topic driving this HVmini - your bite-sized snack of Hemispheric Views podcast goodness.Hemispheric Views 007: HVmini // Battlestations ā Andrew’s Desk
In terms of quality of apps and experience using them I would currently rank them: #1) iPadOS #2) iOS #3) Web #8,968) Mac
I like the ranking as a result of some kind of Electron/web-wrapper Mac app that HEY is using. Mac-assed Mac apps required.
I have to say that I am mightily excited about the new Apple Silicon Macs. For geeks around the world, this is a great day. #mbnov
I got home from work today and passed out sleeping for the next 3 hours. Didnāt plan on that. On the bright side, it might help in terms of waking up at 2am to watch the Apple event live.
An elderly man driving a car almost crashed into my car today. I had to take immediate and drastic evasive action. #mbnov
