Christmas WWDC is coming.
All I really want is for it to STOP.

I just listened to Steven Hackett and David Sparks talking about Arc. Been a while, because though I am subscribed - I tend to listen to podcasts based on the topic per episode - not the podcast or host(s) of same.
Topic - Arc? Im in.
Nice summary - and a couple of things that I will try out - but most d... john.philpin.com https://john.philpin.com/2024/06/03/i-just-listened.html

Today I Learned that ‘A Boy Named Sue’ was written by Shel Silverstein …
… I’m also thinking that today most of you will be asking ‘ what’s ‘A Boy Named Sue’ ‘
Magnet Fishing.
Had you heard of the term before now?
The surprising thing about ICQ closing down is that it is 2024 and it is still around to close down.
Sounds like a grand plan. If memory serves he’s on a sticky wicket when it comes to his coalition, If they go - the whole house o/ card is at risk - he loses power and will then have to face courts for other crimes - or something like that - I need to check. BUT. It sure smells like another example of a ve... john.philpin.com https://john.philpin.com/2024/06/03/sounds-like-a.html
Just to say after writing that last post I suddenly realized that Reminders has become my Task Manger of choice.
For years it’s been Things … which still lurks .. but Reminders has always been there because ‘family sharing’ .. and then a few weeks ago I asked Siri to remind me to buy something and Siri dr... john.philpin.com https://john.philpin.com/2024/06/02/just-to-say.html
Sitting with ‘a quiet one’, wandering through the reminders re prioritizing - as you do. Needed to remember to connect a couple of people to another couple and accidentally added them into my Shopping List.
Have to say, impeccable logic.
Great job @danielpunkass

Remember a while back there was this series called Sugar and there was a bit of a debate around - ‘well I did not see that coming’ at the end of Episode 6.
I have been in and out of another show that is absolutely nowhere near as good. Nowhere near. BUT … at the end of Episode 6 there is a 🤯 that I defini... john.philpin.com https://john.philpin.com/2024/06/02/remember-a-while.html
The post 🔗 Slashes by Manu got me to thinking …
If
foo.com/contact
takes you to ‘contact’ - but by using a ‘redirect’ and the actual URL is more like
**‘stuff.weirdandcrazy.jcaourincag79q8i6iasicnAYT.com’ **
… is it still a slash page?
Asking for a friend.
📸🌊 Part of the point of this series is to record a daily ‘ever changing mood’ (queue song?) of the weather from a consistent angle. On occasions I might post as many as 4 from a single day. I saw this and had to move fast before it disappeared.

I’ll come back to this later. Lefsetz has already connected some dots .. but he didn’t go on and introduce the lurking ‘hobby’ that ‘solves this’ and is a clear and present danger to the entertainment industry if they continue to focus on BAU.
The last paragraph.

Then at the end of the day, all the boats that are here for the long weekend looked quite pretty IRL …
But it took another half hour for it to get dark enough for this old iPhone to pick up the boat ... john.philpin.com https://john.philpin.com/2024/06/01/tops-and-tails.html
