Finally got around to Shazam-ing the music that’s always on repeat at my gym. Is it to balance out the testosterone? Or is it a certifiable boost to shatter personal bests?

Really this podcast with Brandon Sanderson - which everyone has been raving about - found here tim.blog/2025/02/07/b.... Brandon said something that struck me: “you are the art” .

Find My is truly the ultimate feature. Thanks to this notification, I realized that I left my keys somewhere on the main island in Japan. Also: They’re in my pocket.

www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/... Excellent performance from ヤマ with a raw moment of vulnerability. Despite their level of success, they still have difficulty performing live shows and are most comfortable as a bedroom musician. we love u yams

Closest thing I've had to video game style upgrades in real life has been updating my contact lens prescription

AI-generated google maps reviews are having the opposite effect. People are leaving 5 star reviews with GPT-authored comments and it’s leading me to doubt authenticity… 🤔

Following the blog post I shared a few days ago, I realized I can get sucked into unbounded queries that don’t have a definitive end goal/information I need isn’t available. So I made a script that forces me to prepare that information before I'm allowed to start digging.

What will it take for me to stop reading `.dmg` as damage?

Fighting with astro and tailwind for the first time ever this week left with just enough time to publish my first ever blog post. mattlemmone.com/notes/gratit...

Surprised I haven't heard more about notebooklm.google.com. As someone with loads of personal notes and digital book highlights, this could be a gamechanger for learners - I never imagined I'd be able to ask my notes questions. The AI podcast feature is... unsettling, but cool.
