Love LGR Blerb videos covering big shows like this! It’s oddly relaxing to just see all the cool old pieces of tech and follow Clint around www.youtube.com/watch
Working on a little experiment that may or may not pan out…
Was able to pick up the Apple Fitness pin today from my Apple Store! Wish they would do this more often since it’s such a cool promo!
iOS’s Voice Memos automated text transcripts are surprisingly great! Especially for something built into the system. Not having to use a third-party app, which all seem to collect way too much personal information, is so nice!
It still amazes me how many apps collect so much user data. The privacy notice on the App Store has 100% made me avoid downloading apps that collect way too much personal information. I really wish more apps would be selective about what they collect.
Keeping up my daily VisionPro usage after listening to how David Sparks uses it to help stay focused on tasks with the immersive environments. I do feel like the mix of VisionPro windows and the macOS virtual display is incredibly useful. Hoping for some great improvements at WWDC!
I’m surprised I missed this VisionOS 2.0 feature in the Photos app where you can take any existing 2D photo and create a Spatial photo out of it. The results are truly amazing and make it feel like you are right back where you were when taking the original photo. And honestly, these conversions look better than the dedicated Spatial photos I take with my iPhone 15 Pro. support.apple.com/guide/app…
It’s crazy how few good Sudoku apps support filling in a puzzle with the Apple Pencil on an iPad. So far, Sudoku Club is pretty solid and thankfully does not collect data on you!
Just discovered Focused from Rely.fm, and it is such a great podcast! It covers some interesting topics that really resonate with me at my current stage in life.
Diving into the Vapor server project for Swift. So far, it is pretty nice, but it is so nice to just be able to use all the Swift I’m used to writing to control a server. And the out-of-the-box Docker support is also super helpful!
Whenever I use the iPad keyboard in portrait orientation, I always miss the older mode where you could split the keyboard in half. The floating keyboard is just not useful enough for everyday usage.
The Worf/Klingon subplot of TNG season 4 is surprisingly interesting. It’s crazy to think how far the Federation and Klingons came from TOS to where a Federation captain is helping usher in a new Klingon leader.
Apple making physical pins for their Fitness Achievements is so awesome! I wish they would do this more often! 9to5mac.com/2025/04/1…

Using the Vision Pro more and more makes me wish that in addition to Mac Virtual Display, I would love to be able to send a single window to the Vision Pro. Letting the window act more like a normal Vision Pro app would go a long way for usability.
Watching the TNG episode “In Theory” where Enterprise crew member D’Sora falls for Data romantically. With all the recent AGI/AI talk and fears about it replacing humans, I wonder how much longer before people truly begin to fall in love with all of the AI “personalities” popping up everywhere.
I tried out the reMarkable tablet a few months back and wasn’t impressed by the price point vs features…unsure how it will perform with all of the recent tariffs. Sad truth is that a lot of the supplemental material made by the reMarkable team is surprisingly good!
Working on a new web project and just feel like Bootstrap, which has been my go-to for years, is starting to feel a bit bloated. Might be time to explore some other options for a lightweight frontend framework.
Super interesting documentary about the early days of the web and the whole Mozilla/Netscape open source release www.youtube.com/watch
Wonder how many companies will be too quick to accept whatever an AI system says about an employee before even seeing their resume. Can’t wait for it to become even more difficult to get a job in the near future!
