It's my birthday! Want to help me celebrate? Here are some things you can do that would make me happy:

- If you're in the US and eligible, vote!!!

- Take a moment to tell your favorite creator(s) that you enjoy their work.

- Donate a few dollars to the CC Circle, which supplies covid safety gear to people in need at a 0% interest rate (not a nonprofit, just a guy trying to help): https://airtable.com/appDdog2RT4CcVnrN/shrJIIH1nqPRdEfMq/tblwgoBZnUndD9nAy

- Donare a few dollars to your local hospice or no-kill animal shelter.

Google Drive is terrible and it's a shame that so many institutions rely on it.

I have been rallying against paper straws for literal years because 1) they make everything taste worse, 2) they are not allergy-friendly (or celiac friendly), 3) plastic straws are a valuable accessibility aid for many people, and 4) this is another way to shift the conversation away from how corporations are destroying the environment to place the impetus on individuals to save the turtles, which isn't going to do shit in the long run

(and a happy NEEDLES IN MY SPINE day to all who celebrate! We're trying steroid shots in a new location (down a vertebra) so cross all your fingers that I get better results)

I always think about CWing my steroid injection posts but it'd just say "Needles in Spine" and that's basically just the post.

J is dipping his toes into the world of mechanical keyboards and I think he was unprepared for the price tags 😂

Why aren't there picture books about dinosaurs for adults?

All we had to do was improve indoor ventilation and get people on board with wearing high-quality masks but instead we're just pretending everything is normal during a pandemic that is disabling millions, reducing the lifespans of millions, and killing millions.

It's thin! It's light! It's fast! But what do we do with it? There are hardly any apps. Multitasking is a mess. #AppleEvent

Of course it's the most powerful device in its class. It's the only device in its class. #AppleEvent

We took the Apple Pencil and made it Pro-er! #AppleEvent

"The iPad mini is a product in our lineup." #AppleEvent

I absolutely am not watching the Apple event at 7:00 AM.

10:00 is too early for me. Good grief.

oh God I woke up at 6:30 anyway

might as well watch it

😭😭😭

Okay, so, these are the kinds of use cases I could anticipate with Apple Vision Pro. I still don't see how it will impact my life. #AppleEvent

I ACTUALLY SQUEAKED AT THE 13" AIR #AppleEvent

I DIDN'T THINK I'D GET IT 😭😭😭😭😭😭 #AppleEvent

RIP 12.9" #AppleEvent

Who is using the iPad Pro to its full potential and what are they using it for? I am so firmly ensconced in the developer community, I struggle to see its potential given the limitations of the OS. #AppleEvent

@thomasfuchs I really do need to get some caffeine pills. Fully-caffeinated coffee is a migraine trigger for me, so I only have decaf at home 😭
