Re: Apple Vision “trade-in” - I believe you’re right, but there is a market on Swappa; not saying that makes it easy to upgrade – 1st Gen buyers are still taking a loss on their $3,500, but if you’re motivated to get latest + greatest…: swappa.com/listings/app...

more like “iteration”; nice stuff, but didn’t grab me – I’m not in the market for a new phone (unless they put out a small one that makes me give up my 12 Mini); need a new watch, but current model or the new SE would be fine (replacing a Series 3); waiting for Vision Pro 2 for innovation… :)

glad you lifted up Woz's words; truly one of my favorite people...

you had me at screenshot from Wings of Desire...

such as two or three of these mounted on Roombas controlled by a drone with facial recognition that follows you everywhere on 90º days? (just a wild guess)

so glad you remedied the not-having-seen-Firefly problem; now I feel I can continue following you :)

was gonna re-post, but how can I be sure this is authentic Merlin content? please tell me what number I’m thinking of and provide a blood sample…

Really? Some of the best, well researched journalism and science programming - "garbage"?… Explain your terms, provide evidence, show your work…

I'm playing catch up on podcasts and just listening to this – Jill's prediction of "the psychopathological problems of Trumpism are going to lead to people dying" is remarkably prescient given the events of this past weekend...

I started doing violence prevention work in '91, and when this album came out in '92 the ripple affect on the conversation, the increase in women sharing their stories, was palpable; great piece of music, and great cultural landmark…

and - who will play him? Give it to Andrew Dismukes? Bring back Dana Carvey? Or, pull a "Sean Spicer" and have Sarah Sherman play him?

yeah, but can’t you just imagine the homily: “we’re gonna have the best miracles; you know God loves me more than his son, than Jesus; it’s true - he said unto me, he says ‘you are doing such a good job as president, Donald, I think you would make a great messiah’… we're gonna bless everything.”

I have never needed a manual to begin using Apple hardware or software; manuals & support pages help with troubleshooting or deeper dive on features, but everything I’ve ever bought or downloaded from Apple is user friendly to the point where you can immediately dive in and start using it…

Episode takeaway: of all the euphemisms for virtual assistants, "skunkie" has officially unseated dingus from the top spot…

my enthusiasm for memberships rises+falls with my economic situation, which at the moment isn't great; I badly want to support lots of folks who are doing good work - you are definitely on that list; a sliding scale/pay-what-you-can would be most likely to get my support in the interim...
