How cool is this? Thank you @Burk


Imagine if Trump decided to quietly fade into obscurity. What a blessing that would be. #mbnov


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 son and I found it possible to fill our scavenger hunt egg carton on our afternoon walk. #mbnov


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.


Iā€™m taking a look at the default Apple Podcasts app. The library interface is inscrutable. Does this app make sense to others?


We all have a dependence upon our Earth. How about we stop screwing it up? #mbnov


My son has given me a bunch of reasons why a train is a cool vehicle. Theyā€™re comfortable, they let you travel around, theyā€™re 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


Don’t forget about micro.blog game days. Details, plus a downloadable .ics file can be found at microgaming.space Come and play! šŸ•¹


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 hasnā€™t 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.


I would be happy to watch a spooky movie tonight but I can’t think of one. #mbnov


This probably explains why I couldnā€™t get MarsEdit to launch yesterday. Sorry @danielpunkass mjtsai.com

Om Malik on Instagramā€™s Updates:

I feel sad for photographers who think their future is on Instagram and the social network it brings. They donā€™t realize that they are there to help sell tchotchkes.Ā 

The latest ā€œfeaturesā€ added to Instagram provide a timely reminder that the only safe haven is owning oneā€™s content. A personal website and domain name remains the most reliable way to avoid your content serving as feed stock for a commercial enterprise.


Challenge for the audience: How old would you guess I am? #mbnov

I bought some new Brooks shoes on the weekend. Now I’m trying to wear them in. #mbnov


Hey. HEY. HEY! - //Jason Burk

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. Didnā€™t 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
