I love that these beautiful notebooks are lovingly handcrafted, despite the many machines and mechanical aids. I was especially delighted by the corner-rounding tool. So simple, yet remarkably effective. Cah-chunk! I understand why they’re $79—beyond my notebook budget, but increasingly tempting.

ClĂ©ment Sauvage: WWDC is a pilgrimage, a community. Every keynote spark. Every late-night breakthrough. Every handshake that turns into a collaboration. Those moments deserve something memorable. So: Enamel pins — collectible, wearable, emotional.

I’m in for the Collector set, plus the Apple 50 pin.

The first rule of Apple support: Apple will never call you first.

Also: Use a password manager. If you inadvertently click a link that asks for your login credentials, and your password manager doesn’t fill them in, *proceed with caution*. It's not foolproof, but it’s a good backstop against fraudulent domains.

Matt Mullenweg Almost Got Phished with a Fiendish Apple Account Scam

Matt Mullenweg, of WordPress fame (and infamy), was almost phished in a sophisticated scheme that used Apple’s own support structure to enable the diabolical attack: What made the attack impressive was the next move: The scammers actually contacted Apple Support themselves, pretending to be me, and opened a real

Apple Announces WWDC26, June 8–12

Hey #California, the third-place-polling #Republican governor candidate Sheriff Chad Bianco has just seized 650,000 ballots from Riverside County, under the pretense of a “fact-finding mission” to see if some kind of crime has been committed during the Prop 50 vote—the one that asserts that California can use an older district map for the 2028 map. He did this despite AG Rob Bonta and Secretary of State Shirley Weber’s assertion that his actions were “outside the law”, and despite the fact that Prop 50 passed by a whopping 64%, and that this investigation will do nothing to change its outcome.

Bianco apparently got a judge to sign off on a search warrant, but the article doesn’t say who it was that signed it.

Bianco is a hard-right Trumper, and a frequent proponent of the kinds of voter-fraud conspiracies that drive the far right. He’s showing that he will use the Sheriff’s office to sow chaos in California to help Trump.

He must be defeated at the polls.
