This is fairly niche, but If you are trying to decide between Jellyfin and Emby, just go with Emby.

Watched Interstellar in IMAX today. It’s still incredible.

I just learned that in Terminal on the Mac, if you Option click anywhere in the current line that you’re typing, your cursor jumps there. You don’t have to hold down the arrow key until you get where you want to go. You can just jump there. Mind blown.

Imagine Dragons has only ever written one chorus. They do keep changing the lyrics around in each song though.

Know those movie fight scenes when one person is choking out someone else until they die or at least go unconscious?

I’ve always thought that the person being choked should fake their body going limp and then get the jump on the person choking them. Why does no one ever do that?

But tonight I got a better idea. What if the person getting choked taps out by slapping the ground, wrestling style?

The choker lets go of them reflexively, because that’s just what you do when someone taps out.

And then the person getting choked turns the tables on them. That would be hilarious.

At the dentist.

After signing some documents, I used the hand sanitizer they provided.

It has moisturizer added, so it took more time for it to dry.

When I was done rubbing my hands together, my Apple Watch congratulated me on washing my hands. 😂

As they scream, “let them burn,” you know she’ll burn at the hands of your kin

As they scream, “let them burn,” you know you won’t forgive them

Wow! This is truly a cursed version of Tetris: sandtris.com

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but the best new restaurant in BR might just be Iverstine Butcher, which is open for dinner 3 nights a week.

Losers only think about the winners Winners only think about the game

Midnight Mass is still so good. Directing, acting, story: phenomenal.

It would be great if browsers detected tab opening velocity. The way I see it working:

I open 20 tabs in a furious burst, trying to get answers to some horribly documented bit of Rails functionality

After 30 mins or so, it’ll show me all of those tabs I opened and ask me to review them or close them all.

Bjork’s Post album came out almost 30 years ago, but I just really listened to the lyrics of Hyper-Ballad for the first time. That song is DARK, man

TFW you tell a dad joke so corny that your longsuffering wife of 16 years, who dutifully laughs at most of them just shakes her head and says “that was bad”

At first glance, you may think that a product named X means that it’s for anything and everything, but it actually means that it’s for nothing and nobody in particular.

I just learned that apparently if you tell Siri “restart” while you’re playing music, she’ll restart the song. But if you say it while no audio is playing, she will ask if you want to restart your phone (and if you say yes, she’ll do it)

I can’t wait for the Tim Ferris episode where he interviews that guy about why he decided to burn WordPress down

Me: “Hey Siri, play 90’s music”

Siri: “Ok, playing classic french rap”

What I really want is an Apple Watch Series 10 with an Action button.

I just learned that when you’re in an elevator that only goes to certain floors in a high rise and it says EZ instead of a number, it stands for Express Zone.

I finally figured out the name for my new thing, with a domain that may be available! And I registered the backup domain just in case I don’t get it.

Last night was the last night of the last XOXO festival ever. Every XOXO was the best conference I’ve ever been to. I’m so glad we made the cut for the final one.

The biggest highlight for me from all of the times that I attended was probably getting to see the final episode of my favorite podcast (Punch Up The Jam) performed live.

It brought so many people together from different walks of life, different careers, but all united in our love for the independent, quirky, weird web that many of us grew up using.

I met so many friends in real life that I had only known on the internet for literal decades. Most notably: Zannah, Christina, Cabel, Rob…

People whose blogs I’ve been reading forever: Kottke and Haughey…

I caught up with friends who I talk to on a regular basis, but who live on this side of the country and I don’t see as often as I would like: Amy, Thomas, Joel…

I was also introduced to new people who I didn’t know before, but who are now friends! Demi, Dean, Miranda, James, Emily, Kaitlin…

and so many more.

I’m sad it’s gone, but I’m glad it happened. And I’m super grateful for the XOXO Slack, where hopefully we can keep the energy going for decades to come.

Met Jason Kottke today. That was pretty cool.

God give me the audacity of an Oral-B electric toothbrush that dies after I’ve brushed half of my teeth, shows me a frowny face and tells me I need to do better next time

and THEN shows me a notification that tells me “by the way, your battery is low”
