Productivity is getting really good at spinning plates
Efficiency is knowing which plates to spin
Wisdom is knowing that you should probably just smash all the plates

Hey #seattle if you lost your keys on the backtrails at the arboretum I left them at the visitor center

This keyboard (robust, reliable, foldable) makes 75% of what I use my iPad for pointless. I'm as inclined to grab it with my ridiculously powerful phone as I am the heavier, as-limited-by-the-OS iPad. Apple really has a product problem with the iPad and I hope they do come out with a hybrid macbook.

(i wonder if there is a way for me to override Apple's transcription with my own in the case of episodes of my own produced podcasts... It seems that there isn't which is a weird decision to not trust the human reviewed and modified transcriptions I provide in those cases.) 2/2

Would it be supererogatory for Apple's transcription to not misspell the core topic of a podcast? Would it not be, in fact, obligatory?
Not surprised, yet disappointed, that the LLM Apple is using doesn't have a solid enough corpus of moral philosophy text to apply here, given the AI industry's allergy to moral self reflection. 1/2

Spent this morning helping a friend suffering wireless audio issues source a best option wired headset.
Fascinating how for non-audio people "wireless == modern" & "wires == you must be hopelessly backward" while for anyone that works with audio it's "give me wires, the chunkier the better".

@npub1uwh…fqu7 full wavelength 20m EFHW antenna on my roof

Just made a successful #hamradio contact between Seattle and Fiji on 15 meters wavelength using 10 watts! Always a thrill.

Rocking a look I call "slightly sleazy heist crew van guy" so if you need someone on your bank robbery gang that can quip witty one liners on the radio all night long from the safety of a panel truck while you put your neck on the line, I'm your dude.

One of the first 5 Choose Your Own Adventure books from the 80's, The Mystery of Chimney Rock really spooked me as a kid in the absolute best way.
I still think about it as a sort of "horror benchmark" for the right kind of scary vibe.

Yo fellow #Seattle #library nerds: given that SPL is down due to ransomware, remember: you also live in King County which has an excellent library system and online services: https://kcls.org

YEARS back before Evernote was stripped for parts I used to use my ScanSnap to dump scans directly into it.
I missed that and built a free little script to do the same in #AppleNotes

Like me, perhaps you suffer from Sleep Debt.
I'm setting up a global marketplace to trade SLEEP OFFSET CREDITS. While you'll just be as tired as you were before, you'll sleep better* knowing that globally we're moving in the right direction.
* not actual sleep, will be SLEEP OFFSET CREDITS

#[0] didn't say one node is better. I'm very pro federation. I'm proposing that Mastodon should be strategic in this moment and hit a couple key features hard in order to not lose momentum. Pretty sure we're on the same pro-fediverse/activitypub team here.

#[0] I haven't used it and don't mean to come off as promoting it. Unfortunately I think the single node will actually come off as a better experience for maintstream users initially if they have one less decision to make.
My concern is that the moment of truth is here. It's like global warming: by the time we feel the impact from whatever piece of VC funded corporate social media trying to gain control, it will be too late.
