Here are 2 freebies for you dearest Apple;

1. Instead of Siri telling me I have a long notification and asking if I want it read out — summarise it first so I know if it’s worth listening to now

2. Double Tap on Apple Watch (while the display is asleep / wrist is down) should tap back the time (or maybe speak it) for times where it’s hard to look at a watch

Made a dinky little app to help my partner keep track of their dinky little sewing patterns and put it on the App Store in case anyone else needs help organising their (totally under control) patterns collection —

One of the most joyful things of everyone playing "Elden Ring" again is that the "caption this" meta game is on fire!

TIL Apple likely sends their WWDC marketing blast to anyone with an Apple ID. I found this out because my 85-year-old grandmother got the email delivered to her. I'm sure she's incredibly excited to hear what Mr. Cook and his friends have to show us this year.

The worst thing about this whole AI thing (yes worse than the metric tonne of water needed for every operation) is that it's co-opted the darn ✨ emoji! was right there, but noooo.

We've been re-watching Scrubs (on DVD) and Grey's Anatomy over the last little while. How bloody good were TV soundtracks!

RSpec's "bisect" flag wins the day (yet again!) to help pin down exactly which spec was causing our whole suite to flake out consistently!

Slaps roof of Ruby

This bad boy can hold so many Kotlinisms!

"Animal Well" is such a beautiful, quirky, and delightful little game. It somehow re-captures the thrill of exploration that newer entries to franchises in the genre haven't seemed to manage in recent years! 10/10 (though only a few hours in )

The latest season of "Fargo" has some solid Lynchian vibes 👌

Gigantic moon in Canberra this evening! No photo will do it justice of course 😅

So incredibly close to 100%-ing Super Mario Wonder. Just have the last 20% left, the special stages, which will definitely take 80% of the time.

Finished reading by William Gibson the other week! As a fan of modern sci-fi films and games it was really interesting to see where so much of the inspiration came from. From "the matrix" in the titular The Matrix, to the twin AI constructs in Deus Ex. 10/10 would read again.

There is a fly stuck in the roller of one of the blinds in my house. It's trying to escape, and the buzzing sound sounds like someone chainsawing off in the distance. Any attempts to remove it are useless, so I just need to wait for this bug to perish for it to stop playing my house like a musical instrument.

Currently reading: by James S. A. Corey — only a few chapters in, and very excited for the many books ahead.

Can't believe I'm only just now finding out how similar Alan Wake is to Twin Peaks!

One thing I miss from the iPhone mini is being able to plug it in at 20% charge and be at 80% in a handful of minutes.

Conversely, one thing I don't miss is needing to live in low power mode in order to have the battery last half a day

"Asteroid City" was the most Wes Anderson thing that there ever was. ☄️

Best part about visiting your friends' kiddos: free entertainment for a couple hours while you watch them figure out how to eat.

Worst part about visiting your friends' kiddos: they'll gladly share their cooties with you.
