hey it's that time again.

do you have data? that you like? is it backed up? do you have automatic backups you've checked are actually happening?

in multiple locations?

have you done a test restore to make sure the backups work?

*even an extra copy on a flash drive is better than no backups*

Big news!
I'm launching a tiny Mac app 🥺🔍🤏

 It's called TinyStart, and it's a lightweight Launcher and Emoji picker for macOS!

Unlike Spotlight, TinyStart is super fast at showing results and launching apps. It never becomes overcrowded with search results you don't need, and it lets you open URLs, perform web searches with custom search engines, and quickly open folders in Finder.

Oh and yes, I think the Emoji picker is pretty good too. It's everything the default macOS Emoji picker isn't: it's fast, it lets you insert Emojis in any text field, it isn't picky about keywords, and it learns your favorite Emojis over time.

Get TinyStart at https://tinystart.app: it's €5, you pay for it once and future updates are free!

also I made a lil' video to show you what it looks like:

Internet, I found the serial no. for my first Mac on its original box! I sold it years ago and would love to get it back.

AIs can’t find it. Is there any way to track this down?? I know it’s a long shot, but it would be an incredible story if I could be reunited 🥹

"I grant you one wish," the magic fish said.

"To eat my mother's pancakes again, just like when I was a child."

"Are you sure?"

"You think it frivolous?"

"No. But to grant it I must send you back to the child you were, with no adult memories."

"Would my life change?"

"You ask that every time."

I'm really proud of this, and I hope that if you choose to try it out, you'll find it as useful as I do.

Since its Pokémon Day, I should probably remind you that I make the nicest Pokédex app out there, Ketchup: https://apps.apple.com/ie/app/ketchup-for-pok%C3%A9mon/id6477297968

(Reposts appreciated)

The reason I started making computer wallpapers is that I wanted clean “surfaces” that felt sufficiently in-universe for pop-culture things I love, rather than character collages that were once provided as *official* wallpapers.

Over the years, I’ve kept finding what evokes the universe that also works as actual *backgrounds*, usually with lowish contrast so they aren’t distracting.

Take a scroll. And if you have enjoyed them, consider a donation!
