@dougwade It’s wild to me how much lore they created for the Bangers mascot. I really wish we had more of that nonsense in other leagues!

So uh… I know it's through Carbon, but seeing an Apple ad on my site kinda feels like an accomplishment in some way? 🤷🏻‍♂️

There's a new episode of Magical & Revolutionary before we take a brief hiatus until July (WWDC and some travel.) I'm joined by @adamengst of @TidBITS fame (among the many other things!) and he was gracious to geek out with me about the early days of the Mac web and how TidBITS has changed and adapted over its run:

I really hope the key switches feel like the “good” Apple ones since Alps made both!

It’s done!!! 🖥️🍀💜🎶📚🖋️ #G4M4k is a #DIY project: M4 MacMini in a G4 case with 4K screen, working Blueray player / DVD burner and a diy amp for the original (and sadly proprietary) Apple Pro speakers. I LOVE just everything about it. Will have to write the #BookOfHacks now. ;) #DesperateHousehackers #Autorenleben #writerslife #indieauthor

23 Hours Later, Stephen Colbert returns to TV

Way back in 2015, prior to his run on The Late Show, Stephen Colbert made an appearance on — of all places — Monroe, Michigan public television. This past Thursday, he ended his 11 year run on The Late Show. Last night… He returned to public television. In full, here is the May 22nd edition...

Arts and humanities grads at the University of Central Florida booed a commencement speaker who heralded AI as the next industrial revolution. It went over like a lead balloon:

“The rise of artificial intelligence is the next industrial revolution,” she said, addressing a sea of black caps, gowns and tassels, most of them with newly acquired degrees in creative disciplines, including film, animation and media production.

The crowd booed.

“What happened?” Caulfield stammered, looking over her shoulder, as if searching for an escape hatch. “OK, I struck a chord! May I finish? Only a few years ago, A.I. was not a factor in our lives.”

The crowd erupted in cheers.

“And now, A.I. capabilities are in the palm of our hands.” Boooooooooo."
