@jeffcannata.bsky.social random question for ya as you seem to be in the know: are the Malazan audiobooks good? I have yet to start the series but I’ve owned book one for 6 years!

Also, hello from Colorado 👋

Was nice to get back on the mic with @justinjackson.ca

My Dad just pointed me to this wild story. Photos are incredible. What a amazing time capsule. sfstandard.com/2025/01/12/l...
Found: Thousands of photos of 1960s San Francisco. Still missing: The photographer
One man’s mission to locate the creator of 8,000 images of 1960s San Francisco counterculture.

Apple TV+ is streaming an 8-hour remix of the Severance theme song that is perfect music for your innie to refine macrodata to. Legit adding this to the work music rotation. [kottke.org]

Read books, not news.

Harder than it seems!

This was a fun one to build out! Bluesky/atproto is quite nice to work with 🦋
We’ve got Bluesky comments working on @transistor.fm!

Hands-down the best job (and the longest) I've ever had! Grateful every day to be able to work on this with @justinjackson.ca and our incredible (small) team. 6+ years on, I still get to write code daily.

We have amazing customers and can't thank them enough for sticking with us and trusting us.
Wanted to share a milestone @transistor.fm achieved last year:

We surpassed Simplecast in total podcasts hosted.

Here's why it's significant:

Many people don't know this, but @jonbuda.com built the first version of Simplecast in 2013.

That's how we met: In 2014, he convinced me to switch.

Inside Llewyn Davis ends right where A Complete Unknown begins. It’s the fictional prequel, and arguably the better film. But both are great.

Really been enjoying audiobooks while running lately. Great for zoning out on longer runs. Used to run with music, then nothing for awhile, then podcasts. Now audiobooks. Currently loving "The First Law Trilogy" from @joeabercrombie.com. Fantastic story, and the narration is top-notch.

Has anyone built a working OAuth flow for Bluesky/atproto in Ruby/Rails, or do I have to hack this together myself? It's definitely more involved that most OAuth implementations, and we'd really rather not just store people's Bluesky passwords, like most apps seem to be doing.

About a month in with this MacBook M4 Pro and I will say, this nano-texture screen is fantastic. Also cannot meaningfully notice a speed difference between my old M1 Pro, which probably speaks more to how great the M1 was when it came out. That and all I really do is write code in a text editor 🤷‍♂️

Happy Thanksgiving.

Made some bread and whipped butter yesterday. That’s all there is for dinner. Just bread and butter. Which is fine, honestly.

Next year, this will cost approximately $500, if flour is even available.
