Hi! I'm Craig, a sometime cartoonist, former graphic designer, and retired software developer. I love art, reading, photography, science, cats, music, movies, and gaming. I like playing bass and ukulele, and making music with my brothers. Recently I've been learning about SwiftUI and how to write software for Apple platforms...but then Baldur's Gate 3 came along...

Still trying to figure everything out. As one does. He/him.

I wish Apple News could do for news source subscriptions what Apple TV has done for streaming subscriptions: a one-stop shop for subscribing to and paying for whatever news source I wanted, with cancellation one tap away.

Born in fire, battered by the wreckage of colliding worlds, covered for eons in magma, wracked by volcanoes, frozen and thawed again and again, and after everything went just wrong and right enough, here it is: our home. The rarest gift in the known universe.

Happy Earth Day.

The fact that Anthropic was careless enough to let something they themselves consider dangerous be accessed by an unauthorized user through the simplest of hacking techniques (changing the URL) is inexcusable. That's amateur hour stuff. Security 101. I'd have been fired for letting that happen.

Shooting an iPhone video out of the window as you ride in a vehicle. As you do.

And anything I have it say to my wife *without* the word “mail” in it gets handled just fine. #Siri #AppleWatch

This is the dumbest thing that Siri does on my Apple Watch and I hope it gets fixed someday. I’m not trying to write an email, I’m just telling my wife that I dropped off some PHYSICAL mail. 🙃

(And believe me, I have tried all kinds of permutations in an attempt to get Siri to understand what I’m telling it, to no avail. But I really shouldn’t have to do that, ya know?)

I guess we’re in the Apple news doldrums, nothing much to talk about.

The new Netflix Apple TV app is definitely a step back in usability. It’s like I’m constantly stubbing my toe whenever it fails to work like it should.
