    Sep 16, 2026 · original
    Working on iOS 27 enhancements for Blankie and I’m excited to use the new Now Playing framework ‘s MediaDuration.continuous case. It now hides the playback scrubber for content like ambient sounds that loop without a finite duration.
  2. iPhone Trade In-flation
    Sep 14, 2026 · original
    Apple’s offering record trade-in values for your old iPhone. I’m almost tempted to upgrade my 17 Pro for the $785 of trade-in credit but I can’t justify that just for an 18 Pro.

    I sold cell phones at Best Buy when the first iPhone launched. We didn’t carry it, but you wouldn’t believe how many people asked if it was compatible with their allergy medication.
  4. Getting Back on My Fictional Horse
    Sep 8, 2026 · original
    A decade of reading for knowledge made me forget how to read for fun. I thought I was a bad reader, but I just hadn’t found what I liked yet.
  5. Book Report — The Small Stuff
    Sep 7, 2026 · original
    I finished The Small Stuff: How to Lead a More Gratifying Life by Ian Bogost a few weeks ago and meant to write a post about it, but never did. Before I finished it, I had an idea to write a series of questions that I should answer afterwards, not just for this book but potentially for any book I d finished. This is my first post using these questions, and I ll probably tweak them over time. The one thing I deliberately did not want to include was a rating system or a yes/no recommend scale. My thought was that I don t need to spend any time bashing a book. My goal is to share my experience with books I enjoyed without trying to overpromise for them. So, without further ado, here s my thoughts on The Small Stuff : 1. Why did I want to read it? I heard about it on The Vergecast , and as someone who builds digital products I was interested in how I might find more inspiration for gratifica

    I still haven t been meeting my personal writing goals, but I m not gonna mope about it in blog posts anymore. Just gotta write more.
  7. Writing Big and Small
    Aug 30, 2026 · original
    Earlier this month I restarted blogging with the goal of posting twice per week. Now that I’m four weeks in, I thought it might be a good time to check in on my progress.
  8. Shade of the Art
    Aug 30, 2026 · original
    I don’t typically write movie reviews, but after seeing Coyote vs. Acme I only had one real grievance I felt kept it from being an all-timer. (No spoilers ahead.)

    Aug 29, 2026 · original
    Coyote vs. Acme 🍿 Peter Lorre stars as a MacGuffin in a maul-teasing, fowl-conning farce about the lengths people will go to for the things they want. The film is a love letter to golden age cartoons and film. Exactly what a no-taste exec would want to kill. I give it 4 beep beeps out of 5.
  10. 'Til the Clouds Come Home
    Aug 24, 2026 · original
    My family first got online with Prodigy dial-up when I was 8. We connected to it via a local phone number, and so I thought that meant the offices of our local phone operator down the street was where “internet” lived. As I got older I began to understand it was far more complex than that.

    Aug 19, 2026 · original
    Suggested watch for anyone who loves design, classic Apple stuff and creative process (a bullseye for me). In case you didn t know, my blog s logo is my own homage to Kare s original icons for the Mac.

    Many thanks to Dense Discovery for featuring Blankie in today s issue!
  13. Writing Requires Restraint
    Aug 18, 2026 · original
    Setting big, lofty goals is one of my biggest personal failure modes. So this time, I set a small one.

    When people say the Mac was weird and funny in the early 90 s, it s stuff like this little utility from Altura Software that they were talking about.

    Aug 16, 2026 · original
    mac-encoding on crates.io I ve been working on some classic Mac projects but I kept tripping over text encodings. My toolchain for the projects is Rust and assumed there d be a solid, maintained crate for this, but I couldn t find one. So I made one that follows Apple s official Unicode maps.

    Aug 16, 2026 · original
    Plenty of people are aware of Clarus the dogcow (who says “moof!”) , but I bet far fewer have ever laid eyes on a Wild Eep .

    RIP Claude – Rands in Repose I tried writing with AI, but I quit immediately because they suck at it. LLMs are good at structure, that s how they convince us they’re smart, but without empathy it reads hollow. If fear of watermarks make people write for themselves again, I say that s a good thing.

    Looks like I won’t be able to try Manna’s drone delivery today in Tulsa because I don’t live or work inside the very small launch area. Excited to give it a try when they expand it a bit.

    Manna drone delivery launches today in Tulsa. I first learned about Manna last year when Ben Thompson interviewed the CEO . Now 18 months later, it’s crazy to see Tulsa in a list like this. Cue the Sesame Street song. ”One of these things is not like the others…"
  20. How to start smoking RSS feeds
    Aug 11, 2026 · original
    Someone on NetNewsWire s Discourse site recently asked, How to find motivation for reading feeds? Below was my response . As a longtime RSS addict, this question reads to me like how can I start smoking cigarettes? I was nigh-endlessly scrolling newsfeeds before I was endlessly scrolling social media, so in some ways they re the same to me. But what sucks me into social media more than my newsreader are the notifications. Notifications ends up making social media a destination about me as much or more than a place to stay up on news, friends and my interests. I really should turn more of them off. One of my worst app habits is to always agree to turn them on under the belief that I ll turn them off if I dislike them (except I never do the second part). My FOMO and strong opinions have never really allowed me be a passive participant on social media, but the engagement carrot and stick ar
