My new album - ‘The Shape of IDM To Come’ - is on all the streaming platforms now. Worth checking out if you like neat music.

In #ios26, can I make my HomePod speakers visible in control centre at all times? Currently they only show up after I start playing audio. And I almost only ever use them for the Sounds (rain, white noise) - which I would prefer to start by tapping my phone - not by voice. But I can’t tap when the HomePod control isn’t visible.

I was hoping that the new design of iOS would include something that would allow the user to customise UI elements of apps. Something like how we choose complications on watch faces on watchOS. It would be neat if apps could go into jiggle mode and let the user customise which actions are easily accessible in the UI. Eg, I will never use this transcription button in Voice Memos - I’d love to be able to switch this button out for an Enhance Recording button (which I use on 80% of my memos).

Cool clouds just before sunrise this morning.

I’ve had Frank Costanza’s “Move, woman” line stuck in my head all night.

Oh my goodness. Check out the design of this fabric that I got 1x4 meters of today.

I’ve done an episode of my diary podcast for every day since May 30, 2021. That’s 1361 days (I think). In each 2 minute-ish ep, I describe my days activities, recount my thoughts & feelings, rate my mood & energy out of 10, list my moods for the day, and note one thing that I was grateful for that day. For this week, an ad for “Luke Hand Diary” is showing in the world’s greatest podcast player app @castropodcasts 😊 Let’s get more people listening to this singular podcast https://castro.fm/podcast/c55e38c7-2706-4bd4-8f6a-7a57d27db0a1
