It’s a tie for favorite timeline enhancer between these raccoons and the capybaras on CAPYBARA MAN.

Am I right that you can gift a book from Apple Books, but not an app from the App Store? I remember gifting apps, a long time ago. 😬 A friend introduced me to Blockudoku, and I want to pay to make it ad-free for her! $5. It’s a good game. apps.apple.com/us/app/blockud…

Something new for me: I try my hand at programming a new streaming service. It went in an unexpected but entirely marketable and entertaining direction… 📺👩🏼‍💼

So happy to be visiting Port Townsend WA with my friend Laura aka Laura Washington ND. I didn’t realize how much I needed a change of scenery until I got to the beautiful Olympic Peninsula.

And now I’m adding all my #EEAAO movie tickets into my tax-deductible receipts folder, where I already filed my karaoke receipts. #notahobby

I appreciate Christopher Atlan sharing his hard-won experience. I remember when the Mac App Store first launched, it seemed like the answer to the wishes of developers AND users. I never buy anything mission-critical there now, unless it is the only option.

Developers — I’m covering iOS 16 apps that are adding App Shortcuts support! Send me a DM with your info and I’ll feature it on iMore & in a YouTube video x.com/messages/compo…

Here is a music video I always watch when I need cheering up. Maybe you need that too, so here’s the link. youtu.be/imndXBPoFKw I can’t believe it’s been 8 years since the Doubleclicks made “This is My Jam.” Thanks @LaserIsLaser and AubreyCello for all the joy.

People think that raccoons are pests, but they would be happy to contribute if given a chance.

An open letter from my Micro.blog business partner to the new boss of Twitter, who thinks it’s important to have a common digital town square. Yes, but it shouldn’t be Twitter: “The common digital ‘square’ should be the entire web, with a diverse set of platforms.”

My Halloween hack is "turn off the lights so no kids come knock on your door," but I am a Halloween curmudgeon. Luckily James Dempsey @[email protected] is in the spooky spirit.

Updated my guide to Micro.blog for people who used to love Twitter. If you have questions, DM me. I’m happy to give extended free trials to my Twitter friends too. micro.welltempered.net/2018/04/10/a-g…

I'm in central Florida, looking after my dad and stepmother. It's surreal trying to explain to them why my workload exploded due to increased interest in Micro.blog. "So, Dad, let me tell you about the importance of having your own domain name..." 😏

At times like these, I have learned to expect a spike in the number of people who try Micro.blog. I was unprepared for the huge interest in interoperability between M.b and Mastodon. Thanks to ActivityPub, you can follow Mastodon user from Micro.blog.

I'm on Mastodon: @[email protected]. I've been cross-posting from Micro.blog, but I'm going to turn that off and treat it as a separate platform with connections and interests that are more personal. Maybe. Where's the OneFingerSalute book for all this, Joe Kissell?

See you on Micro.blog or wherever humans gather online. Maybe check out omg.lol too. It's a fun and human-scaled and has a Mastodon instance too. jean.omg.lol
