My podcast game show of making connections between words is back! This one has some big momentum swings.
Welcome back to Missed Connections, a game in which our contestants must make four colorful word connections while guessing tricky (some might say problematically tricky) word clues. This episode was devised by a monstrous figure who lurks in the darkness, namely our own Brian Hamilton. Can Lex and Monty defeat Tony and Dan? Only time, and words, will tell.
Introducing Indigo
A beautiful new app for Bluesky and Mastodon and the best way to experience both social networks together. It’s tough keeping up with everyone you care about when they’re split across different networks but Indigo brings them together for a seamless social experience.

New Upgrade: We revisit the Ultra and Neo names, consider the future of Apple's processor manufacturing strategy, and try to imagine why possible use case there could be for AirPods with built-in cameras.
Pleased to officially release Gnome: An app that simplifies finding and sharing GIFs on your Mac.
My goals for the app were simple: Make it easier to share GIFs, make an app that looks like it belongs on the Mac, make it work well with local GIF libraries, and make it good enough that Casey Liss would use it.
I think I've achieved all of those.
